Austrian artist Tobias Pils presents a new body of pencil and ink drawings at Galerie Eva Presenhuber in Vienna, in an exhibition titled "Blende zum Morgen / Fade to Morning. Zeichnungen / Drawings." The show features works that are finished pieces rather than preparatory sketches, highlighting the dynamism of drawing as a medium. Pils, known for his monochromatic paintings blending figuration and abstraction, here eschews color entirely, allowing the raw qualities of ink and pencil to reveal the core of his creative vision.

louvre museum to install 100 surveillance cameras anti intrusion systems

The Louvre Museum will install 100 surveillance cameras and anti-intrusion systems following the theft of France’s crown jewels last month. Director Laurence des Cars announced the measures to the Committee of Cultural Affairs of the National Assembly, noting that the cameras will monitor the building's exterior for "complete protection of the museum's surroundings." The anti-intrusion systems will be operational within two weeks, while the cameras are expected by the end of next year. The theft involved disc cutters used to break glass display cases in the Apollo Gallery, a method des Cars said had not been anticipated when the cases were replaced in 2019.

oliver gabet louvre director decorative arts le monde interview

Olivier Gabet, director of decorative arts at the Louvre Museum, has publicly opposed suggestions to replace the French crown jewels with copies or move them to less accessible storage after a theft on October 19. Thieves broke into the Apollo Gallery, stealing nine objects including Empress Eugénie’s crown, which was dropped and damaged during the escape. Two suspects were arrested on October 24. Gabet told Le Monde that the crown was deformed and flattened as thieves extracted it through slits cut in the glass case, but it has been recovered and is deemed restorable by experts, with only a few small diamonds and one gold eagle missing.

louvre laurence des cars senate hearing

On Wednesday, Laurence des Cars, president and director of the Louvre Museum, testified before the French Senate about the theft of nine pieces of France's crown jewels from the Apollo Gallery. The heist occurred on Sunday when robbers used a cherry picker and angle grinder to steal jewelry worth an estimated $102 million in under eight minutes. Des Cars revealed that security cameras were outdated and inadequate, with only one camera covering the breached balcony, and that she offered her resignation afterward, which the French Minister of Culture refused. The museum had previously faced criticism over security, including a staff walkout in June over staffing and safety concerns, and an official report had flagged outdated systems and lack of CCTV.

ian jones dead tali lennox boyfriend

Authorities confirmed that a body recovered from the Hudson River near Poughkeepsie is that of 32-year-old Ian Jones, the boyfriend of artist and model Tali Lennox. Jones went missing after their kayak overturned; Lennox was rescued by a passing boat after 20 minutes in the water. The cause of death was drowning, and neither was wearing a life vest. Jones was a photographer and model who appeared on the cover of L'Officiel Hommes and walked in the Berluti runway show. Lennox, daughter of Annie Lennox and Uri Fruchtmann, posted a tribute on Instagram calling Jones her "soul mate" and "partner in crime & creativity." The couple had collaborated on a portrait series called "Street Kids," featuring homeless youth from the East Village, and Lennox had her first solo show at Catherine Ahnell Gallery in Soho this past spring.
