Although he has become one of the most eminent and collectable artists working today, he remains all but anonymous; almost no details about his life, including his name, are publically known.

The conviction of the boyfriend of the Olympian Myriam Bédard for theft of paintings of the late Ghitta Caiserman-Roth. Nima Mazhari was convicted on the 5th of June of stealing the paintings worth $100,000. And in Milwaukee a Delacroix drawing has been returned to the gallery from where it was stolen two years ago, by a man who said he found the drawing in the trash. Director Michael Goforth said “I was literally crying when he returned this … It’s irreplaceable.” The drawing worth over $45,000 was of the entry of the crusaders into Constantinople. Mr Goforth added it is a French national treasure.” Mon, 11 Jun 2007 00:17:57 +0200 http://www.art4aid.org.uk/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=13 This Months Favourites    Tue, 09 Jan 2007 18:54:53 +0100 http://www.art4aid.org.uk/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=10 A newly discovered collection of French Erotic Engravings collected by Tsar Nicholas I, is featured in a current exhibition on Art and Seduction in 18th Century France. The exhibition "The Triumph of Eros" is in the Hermitage Rooms until the 8th of April 2007  and includes paintings by Boucher, Watteau, Natoire, Lancret, and sculpture by Falconet. Secret Art; 18th Century France was a cauldron of seduction, sexuality and desire, seduction was fast becoming an art form and the many images off erotic desire were devoured by art connoisseurs and rich gentlemen. While the exhibition examines the extraordinary resurgence in the Roman and Greek Gods of erotica and erotic passion, it will almost certainly re-open the debate on the desirability of pornographic art and the distinction between art in a private collection and porn is surely a tenuous one. The exhibition is in the Hermitage Rooms from now until the 8th April 2007. Hermitage Rooms. Art Daily. More on Erotic Art ..... invest or buy as a present.
