Fine Art Rescue– “Damaged” Art Steals and Thrills
December 15th, 2008
I’ve recently come upon an interesting website that just may allow your collection dreams to come true! Fine Art Rescue showcases art pieces that have seen better times. Damaged by accidental piercings, smoke, water, fire, and varying insect munches (and now repaired), these paintings and sculptures are available for sale in their restored condition. This is a bargain-hunter’s dream if said hunter is willing to invest in previously damaged, restored artwork.

Kathleen Peterson at Zion’s Bank 11th Art Show
November 10th, 2008
This year’s Zion’s Bank Art show, last Thursday November 6th, was incredibly well organized. Parked patrons were escorted to a tour bus which drove the few blocks to the art show. This is one of the best “free,” public events that I have attended all year. The selection of artists was incredibly varied, from contemporary favorites like Wendy Chidester and Dave Hall, to traditional Utah favorites Michael Coleman and Richard Murray.
Counterfeit Bronze Sculpture
November 6th, 2008
Bronze sculpture, and especially sculpture in editions, call for careful consideration before purchasing. In this internet-friendly generation we see troubling issues of copyright infringement and outright copying and counterfeiting of bronze work. Jane Dedecker and Gary Price are two of the most well known artists whose work has been copied thousands of times over and cast in mixed metals and other substances “posing” as bronze.
