    A Lesser-Known Venus Visits The U.S. In New Botticelli Exhibit



    Sabauda Gallery/Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

    The famous Renaissance painting of the goddess Venus, standing nude on a clam shell, has been appropriated, satirized and riffed on so many times — by everyone from Andy Warhol, to Lady Gaga, toThe Simpsons — that it's easy to lose track of its origins.

    Now, a major traveling exhibition tells the story of Italian painter Sandro Botticelli, who painted the Venus 500 years ago. "Botticelli and the Search for the Divine" features a different Venus — and many other works — visiting the U.S. for the first time. The show is a partnership between the Muscarelle Museum of Art in Williamsburg, Va., and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

    Home Is Where The Art Is: The Unlikely Story Of Folk Artist Maud Lewis




    Maud Lewis, who never had any formal art training, painted the scenes she saw around her home in Nova Scotia. She painted Coastal Scene with Gulls on particleboard in the 1960s.

    There's no rain in her clouds, no gray in her shadows; Maud Lewis' small paintings are bright with sunshine, and filled with blue skies, crystal snow and calm waters. Now, a new movie tells the true story of a painter from Nova Scotia whose joyful works hardly hint at the difficult life she led.

    With Chemistry And Care, Conservators Keep Masterpieces Looking Their Best



    Senior conservator of paintings Ann Hoenigswald works to fill in elements of Paul Cézanne's Riverbank c. 1895 in the National Gallery of Art's Paintings Conservation Lab in Washington, D.C.

    Behind the scenes at major art museums, conservators are hard at work, keeping masterpieces looking their best. Their methods are meticulous — and sometimes surprising.

    Berkshire Museum announced it would sell 40 works



    The Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield, Mass., announced it would sell 40 works to fund its renovation and endowment, raising concerns from museum organizations that the instiution is treating its collection "as a disposable financial asset." Above, an exhibit at the museum in 2003.

    A museum in Western Massachusettts has found itself as the focus of a recurrent discussion in the art world: Is it ever okay for a museum to sell some of its works for financial reasons?

    For Van Shields, executive director of the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield, the answer is a firm yes.
    In a press release, the museum outlined a funding strategy for a "reinvention plan" in which it has "a heightened emphasis on science and history as well as the arts." The museum wants to raise $60 million to carry out its new vision: $40 million to add to its endowment, and $20 million to renovate its building.
