  • The Independent (UK) – "Contemporary Art is a Fraud," Says Top Modern Art Dealer
    "Last week Sir Anthony Caro, 84…bemoaned the fact that the market value of paintings had become more meaningful to artists than creating beautiful work. 'Some art has got some stupid, outrageous values and it is very sad that money has become a very important part of the art world,' he said…

    'Because of this crisis, something will change in art and there may be a rethinking of value. In my time, art was never about money. I am not a millionaire. I have tried to make good art.'"

  • Art Law Blog – Las Vegas Art Museum in Closing
    Museum will close Feb. 28. Museum will remain an entity and keep its name so that it can possibly reemerge when the economy improves.

    The Museum was formed 59 years ago as an art league. In 1974 it became a fine art museum and in 1997 it moved to its current location at the Sahara West Library.
