uncreased suit and violet collar. Sotheby’s had a strong lineup of 73 lots,
including four paintings from the “triumphant period” of Clyfford Still, an
early proponent of Abstract Expressionism. But the Dow was down three points,
the Italian prime minister had just announced his resignation over economic
turmoil, and there was a mob of about 150 protesters outside the auction
house’s glass facade, heckling the buyers and collectors on their way in.
“Shame on you! Go home!” protesters shouted as the likes of Eli Broad, Larry
Gagosian and Jose Mugrabi scurried past the picket line before being sucked
through the revolving door into the marble vacuum of the auction house. A
small brass band outside Sotheby’s pumped out a zippy rendition of “When the
Saints Go Marching In” as a pair of girls clapped and two-stepped on the
sidewalk. An older gentleman leaned over the metal barricades placed by the
police and gave a zealous thumbs-down. “Boooo!” he taunted, then turned to
_Gallerist_. “This is fun, isn’t it?”
The protesters were picketing …

Italian Art 1250-1550 $3.95 This survey of Italian Renaissance art, from a new and different perspective, shows how art was a vital part of society and how all types of art and artists reflected the needs and aspirations of the culture from which they arose. Most books on Renaissance art are based on a chronological study of the major artists and their works. In this book, Bruce Cole covers the major types of art from c. 1250 to c. 1550, discusses their origins and development, documents their use and function, and describes their form and how and why the artists shaped them that way. Art is thus firmly connected with the life and society of the Renaissance rather than viewed as a separate entity: painting and sculpture are seen in their proper context. After a wide-ranging introduction, there are chapters on Italian Renaissance art in relation to domestic life, worship, civic life, death and afterlife, and Renaissance images and ideals. |
