Mapplethorpe art and brotherhood
From New York, how Edward Mapplethorpe got his name back: His long, tortured road through art, drugs, and brotherhood; an article on how to rebuild the Guggenheim: The museum’s next director, whoever he or she is, has to do one thing first: Dump Thomas Krens (and who should get the job?) Is there any common ground between a man with a skull tattooed on his face and a man who conceives of a skull worth $100 million? From City & Time, Luiz Manuel do Eirado Amorim and Claudia Loureiro (UFPE): The space of architecture and a new conservation agenda. Time for some Moore: An outdoor exhibition showcasing the works of Henry Moore is poised to restore his standing as a sculptor of world importance. Rent-A-Treasure: How to eliminate the black market in stolen antiquities. Rescued from the brink of extinction: A plant closure and the rising cost of resin almost killed off the world's most iconic lawn ornament.
