In February 2017, the Charlottesville City Council had voted to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee from a public park, and Unite the Right members demonstrated against that decision on August 12. Counter- demonstrators marched through Charlottesville in opposition to the beliefs of Unite the Right. One participant was accused of driving a car into a crowd and killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer. The country was horrified. A national discussion on the use of Confederate symbols and monuments was already in progress after Dylann Roof murdered nine black church members at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Charleston, South Carolina, on June 17, 2015. Photos of Roof posing with the Confederate flag were spread across the internet. Discussion of these events, including the origins of Confederate objects and images and their appropriation by groups today, was a backdrop for President Dudley’s appointment of the commission on Aug.

    THE JEAN-NOËL HERLIN ARCHIVE PROJECT Jean-Noël Herlin New York City 2005 Table of Contents Introduction i Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups 1 Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups. Selections A-D 77 Group events and clippings by title 109 Group events without title / Organizations 129 Periodicals 149 Introduction In the context of my activity as an antiquarian bookseller I began in 1973 to acquire exhibition invitations/announcements and poster/mailers on painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance, and video. I was motivated by the quasi-neglect in which these ephemeral primary sources in art history were held by American commercial channels, and the project to create a database towards the bibliographic recording of largely ignored material. Documentary value and thinness were my only criteria of inclusion. Sources of material were random. Material was acquired as funds could be diverted from my bookshop. With the rapid increase in number and diversity of sources, my initial concept evolved from a documentary to a study archive project on international visual and performing arts, reflecting the appearance of new media and art making/producing practices, globalization, the blurring of lines between high and low, and the challenges to originality and quality as authoritative criteria of classification and appreciation. In addition to painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance and video, the Jean-Noël Herlin Archive Project includes material on architecture, design, caricature, comics, animation, mail art, music, dance, theater, photography, film, textiles and the arts of fire. It also contains material on galleries, collectors, museums, foundations, alternative spaces, and clubs.

  • Style in My Mortal Enemy by Janah R
    Secreted Behind Closed Doors: Rethinking Cather‘s Adultery Theme and ―Unfurnished‖ Style in My Mortal Enemy by Janah R. Adams June, 2011 Director of Thesis or Dissertation: Dr. Richard Taylor Major Department: English In recent years, My Mortal Enemy (1926) has been virtually ignored in Cather scholarship. I place the novel in its literary and critical context by building on information from the critical reception and recent scholarship on Cather's work to see how My Mortal Enemy fits into the expectations of Cather's writing at the time. A rejection of Cather's changing style at the time of the novels‘ reception and in more modern criticism has led to a rather narrow assessment of the novels‘ more ambiguous scenes and an overwhelming hostility toward its protagonist, obscuring the existence of other, more positive interpretations. I provide a close study of the novels‘ ambiguous scenes in relation to Cather‘s own discussion of her ―unfurnished‖ style, and explore how critics may have misread these scenes and how we might utilize a new approach, one that takes into consideration Cather's interest and relation to the visual art scene of the time, to rethink assumptions about the novel and about its protagonist. I use Cather's 1923 novel A Lost Lady and the criticism that surrounded it to rethink My Mortal Enemy and provide a new way of reading the novel, solidifying My Mortal Enemy’s place in the Cather canon and strengthening its value to the study of her life and works. By suggesting a fresh approach to the novel, I encourage readers of Cather‘s work to return to My Mortal Enemy to see what they too may have overlooked or misread in their first reading, in context of the novel itself, other novels by Cather, and the spirit of the time in which Cather lived and worked.

  • Art Dealer Is Arrested on Charges of Selling Fake De Kooning Artworks
    AiA Art News-service Art Dealer Is Arrested on Charges of Selling Fake De Kooning Artworks Brian Boucher, Thursday, February 4, 2016 Eric Ian Hornak Spoutz lecturing at the Washington County museum of Fine Arts in 2013. Photo: Natasha M. Spoutz, via Wikimedia. A Michigan man with several aliases has been arrested on charges of selling forged works by Abstract Expressionist masters. Eric Ian Hornak Spoutz, 32, who also reportedly used the names Robert Chad Smith, John Goodman, and James Sinclair, allegedly forged paper trails to substantiate provenance for dozens of artworks by Willem de Kooning,Joan Mitchell, and others. The arrest happens to come amid an epic fraud trial involving numerous forged paintings, also by Abstract Expressionists, that New York gallery Knoedler & Co. sold for many millions of dollars. Preet Bharara, US Attorney General for the Southern District of New York, and the FBI's Diego Rodriguez announced Spoutz's arrest on Wednesday. Bharara has charged Spoutz with wire fraud, which could send him to prison for twenty years . The arrest concludes an investigation that's been ongoing since 2014. Spoutz allegedly sold some works via a Connecticut auction house on eBay. According to the complaint, the house allegedly sold two pastels, purportedly by Mitchell, on April 29, 2010, for $28,800 and $38,400, respectively. Those two prices match works sold at Shannon's Fine Art Auctioneers, according to artnet's price database. Spoutz allegedly began to use the aliases after a fraud accusation in 2005, creating fake receipts, bills of sale and correspondence in order to provide a paper trail for the phony works, which he supposedly inherited or bought himself.
