Described as “The Father of Birmingham,” Matthew Boulton is a tremendously important man who had an entrepreneurial vision, drive and ambition as an engineer and inventor.

(Internet source: The Birmingham Assay Office). The centerpiece is accompanied by the 1950 receipt of purchase from the Langford Strong Room, London Silver Vaults. It is expected to fetch $6,000 to $12,000.

British artist Damien Hirst. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License.
LONDON (AFP) – A major exhibition by British artist Damien Hirst will open in London in April featuring his most famous works such as a skull covered with diamonds and animals suspended in formaldehyde.
The retrospective at the Tate Modern gallery is part of the Cultural Olympiad, a festival of arts which has its finale at the 2012 Olympics in the British capital.
Featuring about 70 works, the five-month show will be the biggest ever retrospective of the 46-year-old artist’s work.
A major draw will be For the Love of God, a life-sized platinum cast of an 18th century skull encrusted with 8,601 diamonds.
Also on display will be Hirst’s controversial works featuring animals suspended in formaldehyde in glass cases, including a shark, a cow, sheep and fish.
Works fashioned from medical instruments will be on display, as will Black Sun, made of dead flies squashed together.
Curator Ann Gallagher said many of the works were famous but seeing them up close was a different experience: “They are very well-known images, but how many have actually been seen?”
Hirst, born in 1965, was brought up by his mother in the northern English city of Leeds. He was part of the 1990s “Young British Artists” movement.

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) – A central Pennsylvania quilt and textile museum, which features a famed collection of Amish quilts, will cease regular daily operations at the end of the year and the building will be put up for sale, officials announced
The board of the Heritage Center of Lancaster County announced Friday afternoon that the Lancaster Quilt & Textile Museum will be opened to groups on a reservation basis and for special events through the end of 2012.
When the museum opened in 2004, organizers expected between 35,000 and 55,000 people a year to pay to see the collection, which includes the famed collection of Amish quilts formerly called the Esprit collection, but paid admissions only total 8,500 this year.
“It was a flawed business model. It was the best of intents, but it never worked,” board president Sharron Nelson told the (Lancaster) Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era (http://bit.ly/u4sFVP ).
The announcement comes three months after the city agreed to take over the center’s other museum building after officials said they could no longer continue to maintain the historic City Hall building deeded to their organization in the mid-1970s. The museum will be closed for renovation, and it’s unclear whether it will reopen as a museum of traditional Lancaster County decorative arts.
The board’s announcement held out hope the sale of the building now housing the textile museum also would fund an endowment to care for the renowned collection of 83 Amish quilts and the 3,700 decorative art pieces, which include Colonial and federal-era furniture, paintings, case clocks and Lancaster rifles.
“We want to keep them in Lancaster because of their importance to our history,” Nelson said. Still, she said a museum is not the only way to keep the collection accessible to the public. Some pieces are now on loan to the Winterthur Museum and Franklin & Marshall College’s Phillips Museum of Art, and a proposed project with the college would put digital images of the Esprit Collection on the Internet.
Patricia Herr, a museum board member who was instrumental in returning the $1 million Esprit Collection to Lancaster, said she hopes that putting the collection online would open the door to traveling exhibits. Although the quilt collection is only a small part of the museum’s holdings, it is the best known, said Herr, who has authored one of two books about the quilts.
Former Lancaster Mayor Charlie Smithgall said Friday he was disappointed by the news, and he believes the museum gradually devolved into an event facility.
“We bought it so that it could be used for the public good. We found the public good for it, but they lost their way,” he said.

BERLIN (AP) – An American university returned a 15th century painting to a Berlin museum on Monday, more than six decades after the valuable piece was stolen in the chaotic aftermath of World War II.
The Flagellation of Christ was one of more than a dozen paintings that disappeared from Berlin’s Jagdschloss Grunewald museum during the summer of 1945, looted by British and Russian soldiers.
The painting, which originally formed a wing of an altarpiece, was later sold and ended up in the Indiana University Museum.
“One of the many tragedies associated with World War II was the loss of countless works of art that were stolen, confiscated, looted, pillaged or destroyed,” Michael McRobbie, the president of Indiana University, said during a handover ceremony at the German capital’s Charlottenburg Palace.
The university returned the oil-on-oak painting voluntarily to what it called “its rightful owners” after it was first contacted in 2004 by the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation which oversees the Jagdschloss Grunewald museum.
The panel, about 19 3/4 inches square, depicts Jesus, blood-covered and bound to a pillar, surrounded by four men who are beating him with whips. It was created by an unknown artist of the “Cologne School” in the 1480s. Experts consider work attributed to the artist to be some of the best of the period.
The painting was stolen from the German museum by a British soldier in 1945 and bought by a former president of the University of Indiana, Herman Wells, from a London art gallery in 1967. Wells, who was not aware that he had bought a stolen painting, donated the work to the university’s museum in 1985.
In 2004 and 2010, the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation published two catalogs of art lost during and after World War II, with The Flagellation of Christ among the 3,000 pieces listed.
On being contacted in 2004, the Americans immediately agreed to return the painting, said Harmut Dorgerloh, the general director of the foundation.
“This painting is one of our important works and we are happy to have it back. It closes a big gap in our collection of old German paintings,” Dorgerloh said.
Both the Indiana museum and its German counterpart refused to give the exact value of the painting, but said the work was very valuable and priceless in its importance to art history.

The Clyfford Still Museum in Denver is dedicated exclusively to the art of the art of the late abstract expressionist. This file is made available under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
DENVER (AP) – The works of Clyfford Still are now on display at a museum dedicated to his work in Denver.
The museum opened its doors Friday morning ahead of a sold out opening celebration in the evening.
Still, who was born in North Dakota, was among the first generation of abstract expressionists following World War II. He died in 1980. His will specified that his estate go to an American city willing to establish a museum of his work. His widow, Patricia Still, selected Denver as the site in 2004.
Denver auctioned off four of Still’s paintings in New York last week to help finance the museum. They fetched more than $114 million.
Sotheby’s said the previous record for a Still sale was $21.2 million for a single piece in 2006.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – With a brass band playing and city leaders looking on, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu reopened historic Armstrong Park.
Friday’s opening followed a bungled effort to refurbish the park on the edge of the city’s Treme neighborhood by the Nagin administration. Landrieu ordered the work stopped after the contractor’s crews cracked part of the park’s beloved namesake statue of Louis Armstrong, separating the trumpeter’s left shoe from the statue’s base.
Several sculptures in the “Roots of Music” Cultural Sculpture Garden also were unveiled.
The park, the original site for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, sits on 30 acres and includes the Mahalia Jackson Theatre for the Performing Arts and Congo Square.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) – The old copper dome that topped a southern Indiana courthouse for a century is headed to a salvage yard for likely recycling as scrap.
Monroe County officials had hoped a nonprofit group, antique lover or architect would buy the county courthouse’s old copper roof pieces.
But The Herald-Times reports Owen County salvage yard owner Tom Greene bought the copper with his $2,200 bid Saturday at a county auction.
Greene said he’ll haul the pile to his Spencer, Ind., junkyard, where the old dome will likely end up as scrap metal.
The Monroe County History Center picked up one ornamental piece of the old dome before the auction to add to its collection.
The cooper was removed five years ago during a renovation of the downtown Bloomington courthouse.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – Fame followed Georgia O’Keeffe through New York’s art galleries and across the desolate landscapes of the Southwest. But beyond America’s shores, her work is relatively unknown.
For the first time, her iconic paintings of flowers, bleached bones and dramatic landscapes will be exhibited over the next year in Italy, Germany and Finland as part of a major traveling retrospective.
The exhibition, several years in the making, is just as much about sharing O’Keeffe’s distinctive style with a segment of the art world that is steeped in centuries of tradition as it is about capturing the imagination of a new generation of artists.
“I think it gives inspiration to people,” said Barbara Buhler Lynes, curator of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. “To see that a woman has become an important artist and that she is an American icon, I hope it inspires people and that they will look at her work in context and see it as an important contribution to the history of art.”
Buhler Lynes and a team of couriers, conservators and registrars traveled to Rome earlier this fall to help oversee the exhibit’s installation at the Fondazione Roma Museo. The museum’s galleries have been transformed into New York City’s 5th Avenue, the shanty where O’Keeffe used to paint in the Adirondacks and her studio in northern New Mexico.
Visitors can get a glimpse of the table where the late modernist worked and what she would have seen outside her window.
“What it makes you do is become aware of the landscape in New Mexico,” Buhler Lynes said, noting that one museum guard likened it to “a different planet.”
It was that unique landscape—the layered sandstone cliffs, the volcanic mesa tops, the twisted cedar trees and the endless expanses of high desert—that captured O’Keeffe’s imagination. The area so inspired her that she gave up New York and made New Mexico her permanent home in the late 1940s.
“When I think of death I only regret that I will not be able to see this beautiful country anymore, unless the Indians are right and my spirit will walk here after I’m gone,” O’Keeffe said in a 1967 interview.
She died in 1986 at age 98. Her ashes were scattered from atop Cerro Pedernal, a hill that often found its way into her paintings and sketches.
“Georgia O’Keeffe: A Retrospective” includes selections of her work from each decade in the 70 years she was active as an artist. Visitors can sample everything from her early abstractions to her famous large-scale flowers and New Mexico vistas.
The exhibit also includes photographs of O’Keeffe that were taken by her husband and dealer, Alfred Stieglitz.
The exhibition will remain in Rome through Jan. 22. From there it will move to Munich in February and Helsinki in May.
The exhibition was organized by the European art organization Arthemisia, the O’Keeffe Museum and the three host museums. Future international exhibitions will include one in Tokyo in 2014.
Stieglitz is the primary reason why O’Keeffe’s fame stopped at America’s shores. As the country’s first modernist photographer and its first advocate of modern art, he resented the fact that European art was regarded with a higher degree of importance than American art. He believed American artists could create an indigenous style that would be valued as much as that of the European masters.
Stieglitz refused to send the work of any of the artists he supported, including O’Keeffe, to exhibitions outside the United States.
O’Keeffe made several trips around the world following Stieglitz death, but she remained true to her own style.
“When you look at an O’Keeffe, you don’t think Picasso or Braque or Kandinsky. You think O’Keeffe,” Buhler Lynes said. “I think she realized Stieglitz’s dream of creating a truly American art in the sense that you don’t associate it with any European movement or style.”
The flow of influence finally began to shift in the 1950s, when Europeans became familiar with Jackson Pollock and other abstract expressionists.
Still, it’s not easy to find modern art being exhibited in Rome, and organizers of the O’Keeffe exhibition describe it as a “real treat” for art lovers.
So would O’Keeffe approve of her work being shared internationally?
Buhler Lynes thinks so.
“I think she would be very happy. And if she knew the effect her work has on young women in terms of them wanting to be artists and being inspired to become artists, I think she would be very, very pleased.”
