Actuellement au Louvre, ce chef d'œuvre de Pierre Puget, était à l'origine, en 1685, l'un des deux groupes qui ouvraient le Tapis Vert à Versailles, l'autre étant le Milon de Crotone. Désormais à l'abri des intempéries, je rêve du jour ou un moulage viendrait redonner à Puget la place qui manque à Versailles de ce grand sculpteur du XVIIe, et rappeler que Versailles est d'abord une expression du baroque en France.

Artist Ashley V Blalock crochets enormous red doilies that she then installs in site-specific configurations ranging from galleries to stairwells to trees outside. Her ongoing project, Keeping Up Appearances, began in 2011 and has been installed at museums, galleries, and gardens across the United States. The artist describes the meaning behind Keeping Up Appearances: “Although non-threatening in a domestic setting, in the gallery and at this scale the [doilies] overtake the viewer and cover the walls… Inherent is a compulsion to arrange and place and decorate in order to control or influence a perceived outward appearance.

Ossip Zadkine, (born July 14, 1890, Smolensk, Russia—died November 25, 1967, Paris, France), Russian-born French sculptor known for his dramatic Cubist-inspired sculptures of the human figure. As a boy, Zadkine, the son of a professor of Greek and Latin, preferred clay modeling to his studies. In 1905 his father sent him to stay with relatives in England in order to learn “English and good manners.” He attended art school and eventually worked for a wooden-ornament maker in London. After living alternately in London and Smolensk, in 1909 Zadkine moved to Paris, where he briefly studied at the École des Beaux-Arts;
When Lotta Blokker (Amsterdam 1980) first encountered the work of the french sculptor Auguste Rodin, during a secondary school excursion to the Musée Rodin in Paris, Lotta Blokker felt that her destiny had been determined. "This is it", she thought, looking at Rodin’s works. At the age of nineteen she travelled to Italy to study sculpture at the Florence Academy of Art. Her talent was obvious and she started teaching even before she had graduated. The programme had a strong focus on learning the technique of sculpting. Observing, interpreting, drawing, modelling: the hand should follow the eye.

According to the archaeologist Manolis Andronikos, the Royal Tombs of Vergina, in northern Greece, belong to King Phillip II (388-336 BC) and his wife. However, D. Papazois, a retired Major General and a meticulous historical researcher, has a different view. After over a decade of research through the historical sources and through detailed examination of the remains and all the funeral artefacts, the author presents a thorough argument claiming that Tomb II belongs to Alexander the Great himself. According to historical sources, all the Royal Tombs of Aegae (today’s Vergina) were pillaged by Pyrrus, the king of Epirus, in 274

Based in Seoul, Korea, Kyuin Shim is a digital artist and sculptor who executes dark and poignant visions by altering the human body. His latest sculptural series "Black Black" features several monochromatic renditions of mannequin-like figures whose bodies seem to disintegrate before one's eyes. In Korean, the title of the series has two meanings: "Black" and "Sound of Crying." The characters' flesh becomes consumed by bubbling matter that eventually turns into a downpour of water from their limbs and orifices. A recent series of digital 3D renderings, "Small Place," similarly abstracts the human body, this time in all white. Featuring different groupings of feet sticking out from under a cubicle-like prism, the piece evokes the smothering closeness of an unhealthy relationship. Take a look at some of Shim's work below.

Chie Aoki's sculptures are very mysterious and so is the artist. There's a complete loss of identity in the glistening black faceless forms. Aoki is an exception to the rule that an artist has to have information, a website, and gallery exhibitions that are available to peruse online, instead there is hardly a trace of the artist's identity available the web. This unusual lack of a significant online presence seems to continue the underlying theme of these beautiful sculptures; that they are a mystery and the work speaks itself. See more after the jump!
