The following information was compiled from a number of written sources based on language research and ethno-historic observations. It should be noted that the information provided here does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Gunditj Mirring people regarding their tribal affiliations and boundaries. Aboriginal occupation of the Portland region has been dated to at least 11,000 years ago, with use of the coastal regions demonstrated by the presence of recorded shell middens and artefact scatters (Freslov 1992; Kellaway and Rhodes 2002).

The restoration of works Tof art can alter the perception of authenticity, and may result in the creation of fakes and forgeries. These interactions set the stage for the subject of this book, which initially examines the conservation perspective, then continues with a detailed discussion of what “authenticity” means, and the philosophical background. Included are several case studies that discuss conceptual, aesthetic, and material authenticity of ancient and modern art in the context of restoration and forgery. • Scott Above: An artwork created by the author as a conceptual appropriation of the original Egyptian faience objects.

    Heritage Place Name Eastern Market Gates (Former) - Altona Memorial Park Address Dohertys Road, Altona North Heritage Overlay No. Not applicable Heritage Precinct(s) Not applicable Significance Local Style & Type Victorian wrought iron gates Significant Dates 1880, 1968 Designer Reed & Barnes Builder Unknown Statement of Significance What is Significant? The Eastern Market Gates (Former), originally constructed in 1880 as part of the Eastern Market complex in the City of Melbourne and relocated to the Altona Memorial Park in 1968, at Dohertys Road, Altona North. How is it Significant? The Eastern Market Gates (Former) are of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay. Why is it Significant? Historically, they are significant as perhaps the only publicly surviving remnant of the famous Eastern Market of Melbourne. They are also of interest for their associations with the notable architectural firm of Reed & Barnes. (AHC criterion B2) Aesthetically, they are significant as fine examples of their style and type and provide an appropriate formal note to the entrance to the Memorial Gardens.

Although the Trust took out an option on this land in 1947, the new Cemetery did not open until 1961.

The group of eight houses, including two pairs of semi-detached houses and one detached house at 110- 118 Barkly Street and a terrace of three houses at 2-6 Blanche Street, St Kilda, constructed from 1910 to 1912 by builder James Downie, is significant. The high timber picket fences on each property are not significant. Non-original alterations and additions to the houses and the modern timber carport at 2a Blanche Street are not significant. How is it significant? The houses 110-118 Barkly Street and 2-6 Blanche Street, St Kilda are of local historic, representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Port Phillip. Why is it significant? The group is of historical significance for their association with the residential development of St Kilda after the economic depression of the 1890s. Built between 1910 and 1912, at a time of increased population growth and economic recovery, they are representative of Edwardian-era speculative housing development on the remaining vacant sites in St Kilda. (Criterion A) They are representative examples of Federation/Edwardian housing built as an investment by a single builder using standard designs to ensure the houses could be built efficiently and economically, but with City of Port Phillip Heritage Review Citation No: 2409 variations in detailing to achieve individuality and visual interest and avoid repetition.

  • Forensics and Microscopy in Authenticating Works of Art Peter Paul Biro
    Forensics and Microscopy in Authenticating Works of Art Peter Paul Biro 4 ISSUE 1 MARCH 2006 Fingerprints have been used around the world for identifying individuals since 1908. The availability of such evidence on works of art has been overlooked until the authentication of a Turner canvas in 1985. Since that case, a new methodology has been developed and the new discipline of forensic authentication was born. More recently, the concept of fingerprinting encompasses not only the marks left behind by our fingers but also the materials and working methods, widening the available ways to identify an artist. This innovative forensic approach has helped resolve equivocation and identify numerous important works of art as well as opening up a new field of research in art. bout 20 years ago, a client hang it as a demonstration.
