More Ontsteking presents "The Vessel"GHENT.- The ever-changing nature of humans relationship to history makes us, as individuals, face a series of questions that urge us to reflect not only on ourselves but also as a collective. After all, one of the definitions of the term is man in time, coined by Marc Bloch in 1953, meaning that history is the product of human action, creativity, invention, conflict, and interaction. We are bound to make and shape our actions and narratives -whether conscious or unconscious- in an inescapable quest to make sense of it all. During this process, the initial intention to remain objective can derail any attempt to discover the underlying merits of mankinds past. One might rightfully argue that the goal of absolute objectivity is merely impossible, so this should come as no surprise. Once we let go of this need, we can discover the various ways ... More 'Heinz Berggruen, a dealer and his collection' opens at the Musée de l'OrangeriePARIS.- Along the same lines as Paul Guillaume, German dealer-collector Heinz Berggruen built up an exceptional collection of 20th century masters. This exhibition explores the relationship of this unusual gallery owner with his artists and his art market network in post-war Paris. It would be wrong to describe the life of Heinz Berggruen as destiny. He was born to a Jewish family in Berlin, and sought refuge in California at the dawn of the Second World War. After studying in France, his first contacts with the art world were in San Francisco. When the war was over, Berggruen preferred to return to Europe, first to his native country as a journalist, and then to the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. He became weary and little by little made his way into the art market: first he had a gallery on Place Dauphine, and then moved permanently ... More Smithsonian welcomes papers of the late Jerome H.

More Tom Brady's watches and treasures unveiled at Sotheby's this DecemberNEW YORK, NY.- On 16 April 2000, Tom Brady was selected by the New England Patriots with the 199th overall pick in the 6th round of the 2000 NFL Draft.

Brady would win five more Super Bowls with the New England Patriots as well as one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on his way to becoming the best quarterback, and arguably player, in the history of the sport.
