.- French curators had worked for a decade to prepare a major exhibition marking the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci. When it opened, though, the most talked-about painting they had planned to show Salvator Mundi, the most expensive work ever sold at auction was nowhere to be seen.

Ketterer Kunst to offer an impressive work of art made by Gerhard Richter

Ketterer Kunst to offer an impressive work of art made by Gerhard Richter
Gerhard Richter, Abstraktes Bild, 2001. Oil on Dibond. 50 x 72 cm / 19.1 x 28.3 inches. Estimate: 600.000-800.000 / US$ 690,000-920,000.
MUNICH
.- Mission accomplished. Gerhard Richter has completed his pictorial uvre at the age of 89. His paintings made in squeegee technique mark the peak of his creation. A particularly fine example of these internationally sought-after works will be called up in the Ketterer Kunst auction in Munich on June 18/19 with an estimate of 600,000-800,000.
Gerhard Richter is more than the superstar of the German art scene. His name is of global significance, as grand exhibitions and retrospectives, at, among others, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York as well as Tate Modern in London, show. Accordingly, the art world was all the more shocked when the artist unpretentiously announced Things come to an end at some point last fall. So this is it then; at least as far as his impressive squeegee works are concerned

BRISTOL
.- A team of scientists, led by the University of Bristol, with archaeologists from Oxford Archaeology, have found the first evidence of a religious diet locked inside pottery fragments excavated from the early medieval Jewish community of Oxford.
Keeping kosher is one of the oldest known diets across the world and, for an observant Jew, maintaining these dietary laws (known as Kashruth) is a fundamental part of everyday life. It is a key part of what identifies them as Jews, both amongst their own communities and to the outside world.

.- People talk a lot about getting back to pre-COVID normal. But our traditional art museums can forget about that. After a year of intense racial-justice reckoning, a paralyzing pandemic and crippling economic shortfalls, aging hidebound institutions are scrambling just to stay afloat. And the only way for them to do so is to change. Strategies for forward motion are needed. One is in play here at the Speed Art Museum, in the form of a quietly passionate show called Promise, Witness, Remembrance, which might, with profit, be studied by other institutions in survivalist mode.
