  • Painted Wood: History and Conservation
    PART FOUR Investigations and Treatment 278 Monochromy, Polychromy, and Authenticity The Cloisters’ Standing Bishop Attributed to Tilman Riemenschneider Michele D. Marincola and Jack Soultanian 1975, Standing Bishop was acquired for The Cloisters collection, the Metropolitan Museum of IArt, New York. This piece—considered at purchase to be a mature work of Tilman Riemenschneider (ca. 1460–1531), a leading German mas- ter of Late Gothic sculpture—was intended to complement early works by the artist already in the collection. The sculpture (Fig. 1) is indisputably in the style of Riemenschneider; furthermore, its provenance (established to before 1907) includes the renowned Munich collection of Julius Böhler.1 The Standing Bishop was accepted as an autograph work by the great Riemenschneider scholar Justus Bier (1956), who was reversing his earlier opinion. It has been compared stylistically to a number of works by Riemenschneider from about 1505–10. In the 1970s, a research project was begun by art historians and conservators in Germany to establish the chronology and authorship of a group of sculptures thought to be early works of Riemenschneider. The Cloisters’ sculptures, including the Standing Bishop, were examined as part of the project, and cross sections were sent to Munich for analysis by Hermann Kühn. This research project resulted in an exhibition of the early work of Riemenschneider in Würzburg in 1981; The Cloisters sent two sculptures from its collection, but the loan of the Standing Bishop was not requested. Certain stylistic anomalies of the figure, as well as several Figure 1 technical peculiarities discussed below, contributed to the increasing suspi- Standing Bishop, attributed to Tilman cion that it was not of the period.

Viking art, Snorri Sturluson and some recent metal detector finds. Fornvännen 113. Stockholm. This paper seeks to contribute to a recent debate on the use of private metal detect- ing and its value within archaeology. Specifically it explores – by presenting some recently found Viking Period artefacts from Denmark – how private metal detect- ing can contribute to our understanding of Viking minds. By bringing together the myths as related by Snorri Sturluson in the early 13th century with the artefacts, I argue that thanks to private metal detecting through the last decades, our ability to recognise Viking art as narrative art has improved substantially.

  • Filibuster 2008
    Filibuster 2008 Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him to the public. Sir Winston Churchill Directly From the Editor!! Friends, full fraught with war-sweat glaring, kismet-dashed with derring-do, doth here present case: Alas the day when all voices cease and the final hours of coiling conundrum crash all together like minute pawns against the wagerly knights and evening kings and kingly queens in furious disparagement dispatch- ing the last breaths of mighty air! Not really. So, as both an editor and a writer, my chiefest frustration is also the greatest gift: I’m not included in this issue! “Humbug!” says Scrooge; “Hilarious!” says I! Aye. The focus changes when a feverish brain must reach for words other than its own, and here presented is the fruit of my labor(ers). No, I didn’t hire a score of goblins to sit in a dungeon and swim through page after page of unfaltering text. No. I swam through page after page, and one of the hardest things an editor must, MUST, do is say “No” to someone. I had to turn down some submissions. Sounding the trumpet from the blistering recesses of the computer lab to the towering heights of the Library’s tenth floor yielded a great wealth of submissions, for which I among others am thoroughly grateful.

  • Art of Burning Man 2013 Art of Burning Man 2013
    Art of Burning Man 2013 Art of Burning Man 2013 The playa is a tabula rasa, a blank canvas upon which many a fantastic vision has been realized. Submarines, gigantic ducks, swimmers, fire-breathing thistles, serpents, chan- deliers, grandfather clocks and balsa wood temples have emerged from the playa. The projects featured in this guide were selected as Honorarium projects for 2013. Ev- ery year Burning Man allocates a percentage of its revenue from ticket sales to funding select art projects that are collaborative, community-oriented and interactive. We do this in order to support the Burning Man art community, and to facilitate the creation of outstanding art for Black Rock City. The vast majority of art installations on the pla- ya, however, are not funded. In 2013, a percentage of your hard-earned ticket money BLACK ROCK CITY helped to fund the following art installations, for all Burning Man participants to enjoy. GO CU This guide was put together using availble information on the web and references ma- CAR LT terials that origninate from the artists’ websites, fundraising projects and press. Photos used are also from these sources and may not credit the original photographer (please forgive us for that!). We hope this guide will illuminate the artists’ vision, and illustrate the immense amount of work that goes into bringing their magic cargo to the playa. 2013 Come visit the Artery in BRC at 6:30 and Esplanade to pick up self-guided tour maps that make a great companion to this guide.
