Der rätselhafte Jüngling
Artist Danh Vo reflects on the enigmatic "Ephebe of Mozia," an ancient Greek statue housed at the Museo Giuseppe Whitaker on the island of Mozia off Sicily's west coast. Vo describes the sculpture as a work of timeless beauty, marked by fractures, mysteries, and surprising sensuality, and recounts the difficulty of reaching the remote museum location.
Film und Doku zum Kunstraub im Louvre geplant
A heist at the Louvre in October 2025, in which four masked thieves stole crown jewels worth an estimated €88 million, is being turned into a film and documentary series. The projects are based on the investigative book "Main basse sur le Louvre" by journalists Jean-Michel Décugis, Jérémie Pham-Lê, and Nicolas Torrent. The feature film will be directed by Romain Gavras, with production by Iconoclast, while a documentary series will be produced by Misfits of the Mediawan Group. The book was published on Wednesday by Flammarion, though no title, release date, or cast for the film has been announced yet.
