The model for the portrait of Brunelleschi in the memorial in the Florence Cathedral has been foundFLORENCE.- The Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore has purchased an previously unknown early Renaissance sculpture, a portrait of Filippo Brunelleschi, the great architect already lauded by his contemporaries for his great feat of designing the dome of the Florence Cathedral, and as a leading figure in the early 15th-century Renaissance arts. The work is a head in terracotta (25.6 x 22.1 x 20.2 cm) sculpted rather than cast from a compact and almost solid block of clay, as its considerable weight confirms (7.1 kg). Andrea di Lazzaro Cavalcanti, called Il Buggiano (1412 - 1462), adopted son and sole heir of Brunelleschi, modelled the work following his adoptive fathers death. The art historians Giancarlo Gentilini and Alfredo Bellandi are behind this exceptional discovery. They identified the sculpture as the model created by Il Buggiano, ... More Ringling College of Art and Design announces inaugural Carl Foreman Award winnerSARASOTA, FLA.- A film student and a father living with Alzheimers are at the center of Matthew Petersons Swan Song, winner of Ringling College of Art and Designs inaugural Ringling College Film Carl Foreman Award. The award, to be given annually, recognizes a graduating senior majoring in film or creative writing for outstanding achievement in screenwriting, directing or producing. The student winner receives a monetary award of $5,000 as well as a Will Kane bronze statuette, inspired by the lead character in Foremans 1952 western High Noon. The Will Kane statuette was created by sculptor, illustrator, Ringling College faculty member and alumnus Alexander Snyder. Having Ringling College of Art and Design chosen as the new home of the Carl Foreman Award, out of all of the other film schools in the country, is a ... More Don Perlin, comic book artist who found success late, dies at 94NEW YORK, NY.- Don Perlin, a veteran comic book artist who, after decades in the industry, helped create the popular but nontraditional superheroes Moon Knight and Bloodshot, died May 14 in Jacksonville, Florida. He was 94. His death, in a nursing home, was confirmed by his stepson Leslie Blumenfeld. Perlin began working in the comic book industry in the late 1940s, but some of his greatest successes came later first in the 70s and later in the 90s. In 1974, he was recruited by Roy Thomas, an editor at Marvel, to draw the series Werewolf by Night. The next year as part of that series, he and writer Doug Moench created Moon Knight, a mercenary armed with silver weaponry to slay supernatural creatures. In 1976, the creative team introduced the idea that Moon Knight had multiple identities, which would eventually be revealed to be ... More 'Furiosa' is a box office dud, adding to Hollywood woesLOS ANGELES, CA.- Hollywood expected Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga to scorch the box office over the holiday weekend. Instead, the big-budget Warner Bros. prequel iced it over. Furiosa, which cost $168 million to make, not including tens of millions of dollars in marketing costs, collected an estimated $25.6 million in the United States and Canada from Thursday night to Sunday. Box office analysts expected the film to take in about $5.4 million on Monday, for a holiday-weekend total of $31 million. That would be the worst Memorial Day weekend result in 43 years after adjusting for inflation ever since Bustin Loose, a comedic drama starring Richard Pryor, collected $24 million in 1981. (Box office records exclude 2020, when most theaters were closed because of the coronavirus pandemic.) The franchises previous chapter, Mad Max: ... More ONE AND J. Gallery presents an exhibition of works by Suh YongsunSEOUL.- ONE AND J. Gallery is presenting Suh Yongsuns solo exhibition New Works from May 12th to June 23rd, 2024. Suh Yongsun(b. 1951, Korea) has been exploring the subject of human nature since the 1980s, and over the last forty years, he has created a spirited body of work. This new exhibition New Works features works that reflect on the artists time living in the cities of Seoul, New York, Beijing, and Paris between 2007 and 2024. These works capture Suhs emotions while living in these cities and his wide-ranging observations of himself and the people who live there. Suh Yongsun has long focused on capturing specific scenes within his paintings. Recently, however, he has adopted a more unrestricted approach that involves incorporating his observations of people and the city into his paintings. Although the emotion that initiates ... More Solo exhibition of recent paintings and pastels by Darius Airo opens in Los AngelesLOS ANGELES, CA.- Abigail Ogilvy Gallery x WhiteBox.LA present Mickeys Mirror, a solo exhibition of recent paintings and pastels by Darius Airo. Airos latest works are vibrant abstractions featuring monolithic cartoon characters depicted on tables and abstracted through internal mirrors. Airo utilizes rhythms and content as compositional tools, creating an autobiographical alphabet rearranged according to mood or space. The images explore the collapse and explosion of elements such as the monolith, mirror, and table, with the characters serving as symbolic and self-referential figures that shift formally within their environments, reflecting mood and space. In a recent essay, Terry R. Meyers explores the significance of Airos visual choices: Not made with any audience in mind, done, as he told me, as if he were in some type of trance ... More Michel Rein opens Edgar Sarin's fifth solo exhibition at the galleryPARIS.- Michel Rein is presenting Edgar Sarins fifth solo exhibition in the gallery: Nouvelles uvres.

Edgar Sarin has been working for over a decade on new exhibition models, in the ambition to create a space for discovery with heuristic potential. In 2015 he founded his first research group around this matter, Le Cercle de La Horla, which in 2020 would become La Méditerranée. Over the years, Edgar Sarin has developed a somewhat unique working strategy, building up a spectacularly organic and natural body ... More Metal sculpture and fine art lead Michaan's Auctions May Annex SaleALAMEDA, CALIF.- Michaans Auctions May Annex Sale, held on Monday, May 13th; Tuesday, May 14th; and Wednesday, May 15th; generated nearly a 92% sell-through rate as Michaans Auctions realized another successful sale for its consigners.

More Zack Norman, actor who juggled multiple professions, dies at 83NEW YORK, NY.- Zack Norman, who made his mark as an actor in films such as Romancing the Stone and Cadillac Man and with appearances on television shows such as The A-Team and The Nanny, and who, as a producer, also became known for a star-crossed movie that became a running punchline on the show Mystery Science Theater 3000 died April 28 in Burbank, California. He was 83. The cause of his death, at a hospital, was bilateral pneumonia related to the coronavirus, his daughter Lori Zuker Briller said. Although best known for scene-stealing appearances as a supporting player, Norman was always more than a character actor. He was also a painter, a real estate developer and an art collector who in the 1980s mingled with the likes of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Starting in the early 1970s, Norman ... More Michael Sugrue, whose philosophy lectures were a YouTube hit, dies at 66NEW YORK, NY.- The college lecturer, in a uniform of rumpled khakis and corduroy blazer, paces on a small stage, head down. The lectures youre about to see, he says in introducing a series of talks, videotaped in somewhat hokey lo-fi style in 1992, cover the last 3,000 years of Western intellectual history. The lecturer, Michael Sugrue, would go on to teach Plato, the Bible, Kant and Kierkegaard to two generations of undergraduates, including for 12 years at Princeton University, without ever publishing a book an academic who hadnt really had a career, as he told The American Conservative after retiring in 2021. But that same year, in the depths of the pandemic, Sugrue uploaded his three-decade-old philosophy lectures to YouTube, where many thousands of people whose aperture on the world had narrowed to a laptop ...
