Your body has given up its life inside me, for a time your arms surround me; these same clinging branches are cut down and fall tomorrow, and such is the destiny of all things kissed by the sun.

AN AMAZING VIDEO ABOUT ART CONSERVATION, the career that I chose in the 1980s for the reasons shown and explained in the video (never have I regretted that choice). It illustrates why conservators can be valuable resources in studies of age, attribution, and authenticity, because they spend years studying the chemistry, degradation, and preservation of cultural property - and - years looking very closely at objects. But - and this is important - do not expect most conservators to say whether an object is authentic or inauthentic, misattributed or correctly attributed, old or period, because codes of ethics and guidelines for practice for conservators require a sound basis for such opinions (not mere speculation), and offering such opinions can open them to liability. Rather, listen closely for what conservators say or don’t say about authenticity, attribution, and age; for example, “wouldn’t it be interesting to have this object examined in a laboratory” or “You might ask [so and so] to look at this.” That might be what they are able to say, that you should hear. Hope this helps.
So much work goes into an exhibition before we open our doors. For months, our conservators, curators, and beyond have been busy preparing works for our big fall exhibition “Georgia O’Keeffe and Henry Moore," which features more than 150 works and recreations of each artist's studio. Organized by The San Diego Museum of Art, the exhibition is an unprecedented collaboration with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and the Henry Moore Foundation. 🗓️ Member preview begins October 9 before the exhibition opens to the public on October 13—reserve your timed-entry tickets now! http://ms.spr.ly/6044mtYAy

My latest article for #TheArtNewspaper on a play by activist investors to shutter a museum and potentially liquidate its collection all in the name of better shareholder returns. It may looks like an art museum but through the eyes of Hong Kong-based #OasisManagement the Kawamura Memorial Museum of Art, which houses one of the most impressive collections of 20th Century Western art in Japan and one of only four #RothkoRooms in the world (along with Contemporary Japanese art), is little more than an underperforming capital asset that needs to be sold off and downsized or shut down. As part of this move the museum's entire collection has been listed with a book value thatis far below the amount the museum sold a single work by Barnett Newman in 2013 ... Known as #vultureinvestors, #OasisManagement has a track record of upending companies and ousting board members and CEOs to get their way. Despite the mayor of Sakura City and the Governor of Chiba prefecture publilcy putting their support behind a petition it was up to a concerned local to start one - if you inclined here's the link ->https://chng.it/8gmYtmRmSn #profitsoverpeople #corporatesocialresponsibility
The Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum Art, operated by the chemical manufacturer DIC and home to one of world's only four Rothko rooms, may have to downsize or close for good https://ow.ly/e6bF50Teznh
