| The Best Photos of the Day |  |  | HAMBURG.- In recent years, photography has reached a new peak in artistic media. Starting with the Düsseldorf School, with artists such as Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff or Candida Höfer, a young generation of artists developed that adopted different approaches by which to present the subjectmatter of ?space? and ?place? in an era of historic change and social crises. With the exhibition Lost Places, the Hamburger Kunsthalle art museum dedicates itself to these new approaches, which document a wide range of different places and living spaces and their increasing isolation through the media of photography, film and installation works.

Children on the stairs. Toulouse, France, 1946 © Walter Rosenblum.
ST. PETERSBURG.- Walter Rosenblum is an outstanding photographer, one of the pioneers of the American documentary photography. The exhibition embraces a large body of works, dated back to all periods of photographer's life. Naomi Rosenblum, wife of Walter Rosenblum, historian of photography: «Walter Rosenblum was born in New York City in 1919 to a poor immigrant family from Rumania. Grieved by the untimely death of his mother when he was sixteen years old, he wandered the streets of his working-class neighborhood with a camera given him by an older sister and discovered the solace of photography. His early interest in the medium was fortified when he joined the Photo League, an organization of photographers interested in documenting the lives of New York’s working poor. At the Photo League, of which he eventually became President, he studied with Paul Strand, one of its founders and met the great documentarian Lewis Hine and the important city photographer Berenice Abbott. ...

CULPEPER, VA (AP).- In the crisp 39-degree air of a converted bunker in rural Virginia lies the nation's greatest collection of early film. Stacked in metal tins on shelves in 124 concrete vaults that stretch almost eight-feet high, movies that wowed audiences decades ago are meticulously stored so that one day, they may play again. The vaults at the Library of Congress' Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation in Culpeper, Va., represent decades of work by copyright officials to not only protect the rights of filmmakers, but also preserve their movies for future generations. The collection is in many ways the culmination of work that began 100 years ago Friday, when U.S.-made movies earned their own copyright designation and transformed from a fledgling industry into a global economic and cultural juggernaut.

WASHINGTON.- Vast deserts and ancient ruins have defined imagery of the Middle East since the advent of photography in the 19th century. These views of a landscape as a timeless and depopulated space have long fascinated Iraqi-born artist Jananne Al-Ani, culminating in a new work, “Shadow Sites II,” on view in the U.S. for the first time Aug. 25–Feb. 10, 2013, at the Smithsonian’s Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. The 1991 Gulf War marked a significant moment in the history of visualizing the Middle East. Military technology produced long-distance cartographic images and transmitted them around the globe, sparking artistic responses to a war that seemed more virtual than real. Struck by these images, Al-Ani began to examine the relationship between photography and the enduring perception of the region as a blank canvas. Drawing on Paul Virilio’s writings in particular, Al-Ani ... More |

NEW YORK (AP).- Dozens of tombstones and memorials have been vandalized at a historic New York City cemetery where celebrities are buried, causing $100,000 in damage.

Schwaiger’s prints and sculptures offer a quiet yet powerful contrast to the vibrant paintings of McDonald. Photo: Julie Ledet.
By: Erika Mullins
SAN ANTONIO, TX.- Elizabeth McDonald and Seth Orion Schwaiger’s joint exhibition, curated by the Lullwood Group, features paintings by McDonald and prints and sculptures by Schwaiger. The two complement and juxtapose one another as the viewer moves through the gallery. Schwaiger’s prints and sculptures offer a quiet yet powerful contrast to the vibrant paintings of McDonald. McDonald’s work is loose and energetic. The artist embraces imperfection and allows her medium to run. Her palette is rich, and her figures garner their animation through her loose brushwork. She is rather experimental in media drifting from watercolor to oil fluently and the collection varies in size greatly. The paintings are impressionistic in style and frequently ... More |

More Auction cancelled for South Dakota land considered sacred By: Kristi Eaton, Associated Press
SOUTH FALLS, SD (AP).- The planned auction of nearly 2,000 acres of land in South Dakota's picturesque Black Hills that is considered sacred by American Indian tribes has been cancelled, though it wasn't immediately clear why. Brock Auction Company planned to auction five tracts of land owned by local residents Leonard and Margaret Reynolds on Saturday. But a message on the auction house's website Thursday said it has been cancelled at the land owners' direction. The auction house and Margaret Reynolds declined comment, and tribal officials were left wondering what had happened.
