Of leather tooling and love
(Tag mini bang 2021)
Here’s my story for @tagminibang. I want to thank @tracybirds for their amazing art and working with me. Also, I thank them being extremely patient with learning about leather tooling and for adapting to the time zone difference to get this put together.
(I added my own art piece - “John’s” astronomy cuff… mark I, and will link directly to tracybirds’s art when I can fully figure this out).
Tumblr media
•••••••
John Tracy was mad... so mad he was making an indelible mark that would take forever for someone to wipe away or cover up.
Fortunately it was leather, and he was tooling a design so no one would really want to cover it up, but he still was at points surprised he wasn't punching holes in the design… or the table.
A chirp however made him question the latter.
“John, please do not hit the table so hard. You are making my processors overload,” gently scolded EOS as the man was swinging the rawhide mallet.
While fortunately her interruption didn’t make him miss, allowing him to add to the octopus design, John set the leather tools down and sighed. “I’m sorry EOS,” he said gently.
“I accept your apology, but I do not understand why stamping cowhide will help your anger,” said the AI.
“As I said, it’s leather tooling, and it’s better to use my anger for something creative,” John said quietly.
“Even this … item?”
He looked at the cuff he was working on again and gave a half smile. “Even this wallet,” the astronaut chuckled.
After giving EOS a task to do, reminding her not to adjust the gravity back to zero to avoid any spills from his work, John looked at the project again.
He sighed, understanding his curious “data child’s” curiosity. Leather tooling, while a bit outdated in some people's eyes, was one of the few learned talents and gifts he still had from his Grandfather as well as his Dad.
And - it reminded him of Gordon, in good and bad times.
Gordon… his brother with the wacky sense of dress.
The aquanaut preferred to wear on average two leather bands and then a woven smaller band with the first two oyster pearls he found.
That's why he stopped - at the moment, it felt as though if he took out more anger on the mallet and metal stamping tool, he was hurting Gordon. Triple if he managed to hit it so hard it tore through the damp leather.
Who knew Gordon’s penchant for being the only one to wear leather wrist bands would save his life?
A week and a half prior... he chose to wear two broader bands on one arm and his usual one on his other.
They were nearly the width of a cuff, with designs that took forever to explain to EOS. It was an unusual decision, but one that the brothers were thankful Gordon made.
They had been called out to a rescue - a skyscraper fire in Houston, and all land based brothers had been called as it required high rise rescue.
Gordon had been on level 70 of the building, rescuing an unconscious woman. He had secured the victim in with his harness and started to use the pulley to get them to the top of the building for Thunderbird to lift them to safety.
An explosion had knocked them for a loop, smashing Gordon into the building.
Gordon took the brunt of the hit, slamming into the frame.
In spite of the helmet, he too was knocked out. Worse, the grapple slipped, and glass shards, still stuck in their mounts, sliced down his forearms.
It cut the neoprene... and through part of his thick leather cuffs.
When they recovered both victims, Virgil and John immediately triaged the two. She had a minor concussion and smoke inhalation.
Gordon however not only too had the bump on the head - thanks to the helmet taking the brunt, he also a dislocated shoulder, and a few cracked and broken ribs.
But what was the immediate concern at the time of the rescue was his arms, particularly the wrists. They took the brunt of the damage.
The leather bands however, saved his life. They made what would've been life threatening - if not fatal, slashes on his wrist to mostly superficial cuts.
The bands though were completely destroyed as far as wearability. Virgil would have to apologize for cutting them completely off - but not why - later.
Gordon was taken to a hospital in Houston's esteemed Medical Center, where he went through multiple surgeries, a few pints of blood, and lots of rest.
That was a week ago, as Gordon had a healing rib rebreak, nicking his lung. It was repaired, the bleeder stopped, but Gordon had to be put under sedation for a couple of days to ensure the site healed.
Though they had lifted the sedation the day prior and were waiting for Gordon to come out of it, the family would have to wait couple of days before he could return to Tracy Island.
That lead to where he was today.
John sighed, and looked around Thunderbird Five.
He had been practicing some leather tooling at University of Houston's art department.
That was before a space rescue needed both him and Alan, and afterword, he stayed on Five to keep apprised of a possible hurricane.
Well that and have an excuse to decline another lecture invite from NASA.
John was thankful that U of H understood his need for privacy, and that having a PhD in Aeronautics and Space allowed him some special favors.
The positive it included the use of one of the art studios to leather tool...
The negative? The trade off was as long as he also donated one of his famous astronomy tooled leather cuffs for a fundraiser.
He had already finished the band for the auction two days prior, complete with the antique leather dye, golden paint accents in the star constellations, and steampunk like swing hinge cuff. Not the easiest to make, especially setting the rivets for the cuff.
Worth it to John - small price to pay, but would reap rewards for U of H’s generosity. He’d bring it to them when he visited Gordon again.
The astronaut then looked at the octopus carved and stamped on the wallet. "It was too damn close," he said out loud, but at the same time, he was thankful. This was for Gordon later on.
John then smiled at the thought. It was indeed for his aquanaut brother, one they could’ve lost in that fire.
He was about to stamp the leather again... when a beep startled him.
The astronaut asked EOS to answer it, and the image of Virgil came out of the monitor.
"Gordon's come to," said Virgil.
"Fully?"
The older brother shrugged. "Mostly, but he should be fully alert by the time you get to the hospital," he said, then frowned. "He's asking about the leather bands... especially the one that was 'Mom's belt'."
John furrowed his brow.
Yes, that belt bracelet.
Fortunately the one bracelet Gordon hadn't worn that day.
Unfortunately, the one Gordon duplicated - with varying degrees of success, he did wear nearly daily.
John could imagine Gordon’s initial reaction… he’d feel the same way.
"Virgil, Gordon didn't wear that cuff that day," he said. "He intentionally put a small Thunderbird stamp on his so he didn't confuse the two."
Virgil nodded. "I know, but you know him and anesthetics... gives him the wrong memory if he's not goofy from it," he said, then chuckled. “Last time he was trying to feed Parker poster pancakes on the USS Lexington.”
John scoffed at the memory. "That one still has Parker perplexed," he said, then stood, stretching. "Try to talk him down from his confusion. I'll be there in a few minutes. I need to get something."
Virgil noticed John’s labors on the table and quirked an eyebrow. "What about the wallet you're working on?"
"It'll be fine. The leather can be dampened again to finish it up. I expected it to be a longer project over the bracelets I made at U of H,” he said, putting the stamping tool and mallet down.
The artist noticed John’s attempt to deflect, and his eyes twinkled in mischief. "So… how many projects did the University ‘con’ you out of for the auction this time?" said the artist with a teasing smirk.
He wasn't going to give his younger brother too much grief - he still owed the University at least one hand blown glass vase.
"Just the one - the astronomy cuff."
Virgil gave a soft whistle. "That one? You won't even make that one for me."
"Then bid on the one they're selling," snarked John as he cleaned up the rest of the leather tooling supplies.
Virgil merely laughed - yeah, he was going to bid if anything to help a department who helped his brother cope through this.
John then picked up a box wrapped in sea turtle wrapping paper. "I'll be there shortly,” he said walking to the space elevator.
“FAB.”
********
Gordon Tracy looked out the windows of his hospital room from his hovering hospital bed and signed.
He was thankful he wasn't stuck with a view of the generators. The hospital still hadn't gotten over teasing him - gently - about calling them "Donald Duck" in a post-anesthesia comment the other time he was there for an injury.
Here, it was a view of one of the garden parks the area had.
What he wasn't thankful for was the fact he lost the leather band that was made from his mother's belt.
He looked at the long bandages wrapped on his wrists and lower arms and sighed.
Sure, Virgil kept insisting it was not the band, but he knew his bracelets.
Yes, he had to admit they had to be fully cut off too keep him from bleeding out through his wrists - he knew one cut was still too close.
Still though... he had to concede if it was gone, it was his mother protecting him.
Even Scott had told him point blank it was the only time he was thankful Gordon had forgotten to take the bands off.
Rumor had it Scott was even considering consulting with Brains to create leather arm bracers.
His theory was if it worked for the cowboys in the 1800s and 1900s, why not the technological cowboys of today?
Gordon looked at the sky and smiled. "Thanks Mom for watching over both that woman and me," he said, then looked at the bands.
There were blood stains on them, which were not going to come out.
Sure, they could be dyed dark before being stored, most likely black, and he could have John help him there. That said, it was not going to matter when they had been made unwearable when Virgil cut them off.
There were the button and hole fixtures sure... but the aquanaut understood Virgil was going to slice first, apologize for saving Gordon's life later.
Blood loss didn’t wait for bracelets.
A knock at the door shook him out of his thoughts. "Come in," he said, adjusting the bed to where it floated back to connect with the main vitals scanner.
John entered and smiled at seeing his alert brother, the first time he'd been fully awake since before the accident.
"Hi Gordon, how are you feeling," he said, wincing slightly at the cliche.
His fish loving brother just smiled, but the astronaut didn't miss the sadness in the cinnamon colored eyes. "I'm having a whale of a time... too bad the lake below probably only has ducks," he said, chuckling slightly.
“Must be going ‘quackers’ then,” joked John, only to watch as Gordon fiddled with the remains of the bracelets. John coughed. "Gordon..."
"I know. They had to be cut off in order to save my life," the aquanaut said, sighing. "It's just... this was mom's - look at the paisley here..."
John put his hand over both his younger brother's and smiled. "It isn't the one made with Mom's belt, trust me,” he said, smiling, then pointing to a detail. "See? Here's the thunderbird stamp you used for yours."
Gordon took a closer look, and his eyes widened slightly.
John was right... it was indeed there, just had been cut in half by the cutting tools. Well he hoped so and not the glass, but that was a story left unsaid at the time.
"It's not mom's," the aquanaut whispered instead, tears of happiness flooding his eyes.
The astronaut smiled and gave his brother a gentle hug. "No it isn't. I made sure the one with Mom's was in the fire safe - just in case, on the Island before Alan brought me to the hospital," he said gently.
The two hugged gently for a while, the mix of hospital bluster and soothing sounds from the Muzak in the hallways mingling between the brother's hushed tones.
After a few minutes, Gordon sat up, and noticed the sea turtle box his brother was holding. "Funny looking NASA paper," the aquanaut teased, chuckling softly when John rolled his eyes.
He knew John tried to avoid the facility if possible.
Not because he didn't enjoy it, but because the last time he visited the center, Mission Control crowded him the point he fainted from the social claustrophobia.
Alan found it amusing.
EOS found it amusing to force Alan to eat freeze dried brussel sprouts and liver with onions meals every day his last rotation on Thunderbird Five for his "rude behavior."
Both men chuckled in the memory, and John handed his brother the box. "Nope, this is for you, a get well soon present," said he said.
Gordon carefully opened up the box, which John had purposely wrapped the two parts separately due to the shoulder being strapped, and gasped.
Inside were two bracelets.
One was similar to his mother's belt, but the paisley and flower design that was in his mom's band was adjusted slightly to include southwestern printed sea turtles and a squid stamp John had custom made. Like his mother's, it was dyed a medium brown.
The other... took Gordon's breath away.
The edges were done in a simple border - scalloped with the occasional octopus and sea turtle stamp in between the scallops. It was dyed mahogany.
It was mostly just border stamped... because the concho fastened in the center was the showstopper.
It was a golden sea turtle, swimming in the middle of a pewter center. “How?…”
Seeing Gordon's eyes water, John chuckled. "Yes, I remembered that concho. Had trouble finding it, but fortunately the store on the Sam Houston Tollway found one and put it aside for me," he said as he put a hand on his brother's uninjured shoulder.
Gordon put the box down and wiped away the tears with his good hand. "Got a bit of hand sanitizer in my eyes. Strong stuff," he said, and John scoffed.
"Yeah, sure... you want me to help put it on your … good wrist?" John said, and coughed when Gordon shot the arm out. "Whew... you weren't kidding on the hand sanitizer,” he laughed, waving the fumes away.
"Yeah... apparently it's 'essense of moonshine' I think. It probably kills germs 10 years before they’re born," Gordon smirked.
The bands fit perfectly, and had a simple button and hole fastener so the doctors or even Gordon could take it off with a push if needed.
John watched his brother admire the bracelet, even taking a few photos of the laughs and chuckles his brother made as he showed it off.
Gordon then paused and looked at John. "You made these right?" he inquired, looking at the antiqued looking band.
The astronaut nodded, and Gordon continued, grinning slightly in memory. "How many bands did the University get you to make in exchange for the use of the studio this time?"
"One - and before you ask, the astronomy one,” John said, touching a button on his baldric to ensure EOS didn’t talk about the wallet. She still had a proclivity to ruin surprises - especially if it was one of John’s younger siblings.
Gordon, knowing how much money usually got raised to but one of these bands, looked at the bands and then John. "Worth every cent," he said, smiling warmly as the nurse came in to check Gordon's vitals and bring dinner.
John took this as a note to head out, but before he left, he looked at his brother, who was bragging about the bracelet his older brother made.
And making it very clear how to take it on and off so this one was not cut off.
The astronaut gave a gentle wave to his brother. "I'll be back later," he said, and headed out.
Hearing the chuckles Gordon made again, John's smile broadened. "Yes, it was worth every single minute and cent to hear that laughter," John murmured, but it was priceless to have his brother saved by those other bands.
Now... how he was going to steal the remnants of the old bands to repurpose into a hippie cuff for Gordon was another story

Lucien Torel. French father, Italian mother, although the family has Spanish, German, Dutch etc ancestry so on top of having had to move around a lot as a child Lucien has never really felt himself to be a Frenchman.The family has lived in the UK, Brazil, Spain, France, Italy. They often returned to Italy because of Lucien’s maternal grandparents. He has fond memories of reading, sleeping and exploring the summer countryside, the sight of scuffed white sneakers as he trekked up a dirt path in the white glare of noon while the adults slept off the heat. He has four siblings, two older brothers and sister and a younger sister. I keep forgetting his siblings’ names and I need to update his parents’ names, will get back to that later
His great, great grandfather was an art dealer and owned a modest shop that eventually became Vidal’s, an international auction house dealing in fine art, antiques and luxury items. There’s a Vidal’s in London, New York, Monaco, Hong Kong, St Petersburg, Singapore, Madrid, LA, Houston etc. It’s one of the few international auction houses that is still a family owned and run enterprise and begins to face serious financial trouble by the time Lucien leaves the business. It may eventually be bought by a conglomerate formerly owned by Semyon.
His disposition is about as cool and aloof as his face is sweet. Extremely intelligent and well read. An avid collector of knowledge with a prodigious memory, always curious and open minded. Went into university early where he had difficulty choosing between humanities or focusing on maths or computer sciences (he often has to explain to people that the disparity between languages, art and math is really not that large at all). Still considers himself something of a jack of all trades despite ultimately deciding to join his father and older siblings at the auction house by focusing on art history (medieval-18th century European visual arts). Extremely introverted, not shy but finds the social contract bewildering and has had to apply himself diligently to understanding it. (I've been asked if he's autistic and I don’t think so? Or rather, he does have traits that make him seem like he’s on the spectrum but like my other characters who appear to ping on the scale I’ve never really considered it. Maybe he is, but he’s never been diagnosed or seen a psychologist for that.) Not particularly outgoing but can happily talk on at length about his interests with persons who share these interests. Has inadvertently bewildered and charmed persons into buying art objects they had never considered by earnestly and passionately extolling the merits and history of said objects
Genuinely moral and gentle if somewhat unsure about how to relate to other persons. Quick tempered but not malicious. Often distracted but not clumsy or forgetful. Intense, focused, prefers the world of the intellect to the physical. Has very little patience for incompetence or persons who can’t keep up with his conversation or thought processes. Tends to get a little glazed when people around him begin to talk about interpersonal matters, gossip or embark on detailed deconstructions of the minutiae of social interactions (”Then what did he say after that?”)
Shifted focus to Asian art and European-Asian 15th-18th century maritime trade goods after a month long trip to Japan where he struggled to order meals and gawked at the massive serene golden buddhas in their dark, quiet sanctuaries. Frustrated by his complete inability to communicate, intrigued by Eastern spirituality and embarrassed by his European insularity he began to study and read. Eventually he moves to the Asian Antiquities department at Vidal’s and lives briefly in Hong Kong while working as an assistant to the director of operations there.
He was deeply touched and intrigued by the story of the Dragon Maiden from the Lotus Sutra. Possibly he wrote a paper on the story.

Texas’ Retired Police Dogs No Longer Have to Be Sold or Euthanized
A new state amendment allows handlers and other qualified caretakers to adopt retired police pups at no cost
By Jason Daley
NOVEMBER 7, 2019
This Election Day, voters in Texas banded together to pass a constitutional amendment on a decidedly bipartisan issue: dogs. The new ruling allows retired police dogs to be adopted by their handler or another qualified caretaker at no cost. Previously, Texas’ K-9 cops had to be euthanized or auctioned off upon reaching retirement.
As Chase Karacostas reports for the Texas Tribune, state law classifies retired law enforcement animals as surplus government property not to be used for private benefit. The amendment offers a workaround to this stipulation, enabling police pups to stay with their human partners indefinitely.
“It’s the right thing to do,” Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner, chair of the local sheriffs’ association’s legislative committee, tells the Washington Post’s Karin Brulliard. “There’s been a lot of great dogs with great handlers, and the right thing should have been done by them. But it’s better late than never.”
Skinner, who assumed leadership of the local sheriff’s office in 2017, served as a K-9 handler in the Air Force nearly 40 years ago. He extended his tour of duty in the Philippines multiple times in order to spend more time with his furry partner, Jessie. According to Karacostas, Skinner knew that Jessie, a military service dog classified as government property, would likely be euthanized upon retiring.
The federal government reversed its stance on the issue in the early 2000s, but Texas’ law remained on the books.
Shortly after becoming sheriff, Skinner was tasked with deciding the fate of two “old and ailing” two K-9s in his department—an experience that led him to partner with sheriffs in neighboring counties to champion changes to the state constitution.
Some Texas law enforcement officials found ways of working around the antiquated law. In Austin, reports the Statesman’s Nicole Cobler, the police department sells retired dogs to their handler or another employee for just $1. Skinner, meanwhile, kept the two dogs up for retirement on the books but off active duty. Although this measure allowed the K-9s and their handlers to stay together, Brulliard writes that it prevented the department from recruiting replacement dogs.
Other Texas departments have followed the letter of the law, euthanizing or auctioning off retired police pups.
“There’s different ways that people have tried to deal with this,” Skinner tells the Post. “But here’s the reality: We’re peace officers, and we stand for the rule of law, and we want to do the right thing. We’ve asked for this exception, to not treat these animals like property, for all the obvious reasons.”
According to the Houston Chronicle’s Raga Justin, the proposed amendment—dubbed Proposition 10—made it onto the state ballot after receiving unanimous approval from Texas legislators this past summer. On Election Day, an overwhelming 94 percent of nearly two million voters voted in favor of the change.
“Police dogs develop a special bond with their handler, and—after a lifetime of public service—deserve to spend their golden years with their companion,” State Senator Jane Nelson, co-author of the amendment, says in a statement. “These dogs should not be auctioned off as property.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 2100, a companion motion authored by Nelson and fellow State Senator Brian Birdwell, into law this May. The bill allows the families of handlers killed in the line of duty to adopt their loved one’s K-9 partners. It also ensures that retired law enforcement animals not adopted by their handlers can be taken in by other qualified caregivers.
Over the past decade, law enforcement animals’ contributions to public safety have received increasing recognition. Over the summer, the city of Chicago announced plans for a memorial plaza honoring seven canine and three equine officers killed in the line of duty, and in April, the United Kingdom unveiled a National K-9 Police Dog Memorial.

Here’s Where You Can Find these Famous Romantic Movie Locations IRL
Tumblr media
A film’s great location can lead to it becoming an iconic landmark. Just look at The Lord of the Rings series and how it established New Zealand as the perfect “Middle-earth.” The country played a huge role all throughout the series, making it as critical as the film’s story.
  Romcom is one other such genre that where the movie’s setting usually plays a huge role on the development of its characters. Listed below are just some of the romantic movies that captured the perfect formula for an unforgettable movie.
  Notting Hill
The 90s was all about Hugh Grant, and the film Notting Hill cemented his leading man status. Before the millennium closed, the film was released to critical and box office success. One of the most iconic locations that the film used is the famed blue door, the entrance of Grant’s character’s flat. The door is so famous that tourists flocked the location and got auctioned off; it was replaced with a black door, but the current owners graciously painted the door back to its famous color.
  280 Westbourne Park Road, Notting Hill, London
  Another famous location is the bookshop. During the film’s opening scene, Grant’s character can be seen walking towards his shop, all the while giving us a little tour of Notting Hill. It is the same bookshop where his meet-cute with A-list star Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) happened. IRL, the bookstore was never a bookstore; instead it was an antique arcade then a furniture store. The real bookstore that inspired the movie was located just around the corner and was also called The Travel Bookshop.
  142 Portobello Road, Notting Hill, London
  La La Land
It’s not an Academy Award winning film for nothing: Damien Chazelle’s masterpiece perfectly exhibit what Los Angeles is to all dreamers: tragic at times, but mostly magical. One of the highlights of the film is the scene between the two characters, Mia and Sebastian, starts to realize their feelings for each other while enjoying the beauty of the iconic Griffith Observatory.
  2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA
  A movie about Hollywood wouldn’t be accurate without a cameo of at least one studio lot. Mia, a struggling actress, works as a part time barista at a coffee shop (Café Sur Le Lot) located at the Warner Bros. back lot. Mia takes Sebastian on a tour inside the studio lot when the latter visits him after their date.
  3400 W. Riverside Dr. Burbank, CA
  When Harry Met Sally
The quintessential romcom gave us not only important conversations about relationships, but also one of the most popular scenes in romcom history. Katz’s Delicatessen became a landmark in the Lower East Side thanks to that scene, even having a specific sign where the lead characters sat. The deli also made a few cameos in films such as Donnie Brasco and Across the Universe.
  205 East Houston Street
  Two prominent yet very opposite scenes were filmed in the Puck Building; the first scene that featured the building is when the couple’s respective best friends marry on the building’s 7th floor, and in which they broke off their almost relationship. The couple’s reconciliation happened during a New Year’s Eve party which took place at The Grand Ballroom of Puck.
  295 Lafayette St.
  Love Actually
Our ultimate go-to films come the holidays, Love Actually acts as a love letter to London and its citizens. The film was mostly shot in and around London’s top tourist destinations. One of the more notable scenes in the film was Mark’s (Andrew Lincoln) declaration of his love to Juliet (Keira Knightley), which happened in London’s most IG-worthy street, St Luke’s Mews.
  St Luke’s Mews, London
  One of the most poignant scenes in the film happened in Gabriel’s Wharf, where Liam Neeson’s character holds a heart-to-heart talk with his stepson about the total agony of being in love.
  Upper Ground, South Bank, London
  Me Before You
Even with the film’s tragic ending, Me Before You gave us some of the most breathtaking sites that helped brought to life the story. The picturesque Pembroke Castle served as the Traynors’ massive estate; the castle is famously known as the birthplace of King Henry VII.

Hyperallergic: Art Movements
Norman Rockwell, “Shuffleton’s Barbershop” (1950). The painting is one of two Rockwell’s owned by the Berkshire Museum (image via wikiart.org)
Art Movements is a weekly collection of news, developments, and stirrings in the art world. Subscribe to receive these posts as a weekly newsletter.
According to Le Monde, authorities are investigating three individuals following the abrupt closure of the Amedeo Modigliani exhibition at the Doge’s Palace in Genoa. Twenty-one works, all considered likely forgeries, were confiscated by authorities last week after art critic and collector Carlo Pepi filed a formal complaint with the Carabinieri art fraud unit. Those under investigation include curator Rudy Chiappini, Massimo Vitta Zelman (president of Mondo Mostre Skira, the organizer of the exhibition), and art dealer Joseph Guttmann.
In a joint statement, the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) and the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) criticized the Berkshire Museum’s decision to auction 40 works of art from its collection, including two paintings by Norman Rockwell. “Actions such as those being proposed by the Berkshire Museum undermine the public’s trust in the mission of nonprofit museums,” the statement reads, “and museums’ ability to collect, teach, study, and preserve works for their communities now and into the future.” The museum — an accredited member of the AAM — plans to deaccession the works to fund a $40m endowment and $20m refurbishment rather than fund future acquisitions — a direct violation of the AAM’s code of ethics.
A number of arts journalists, writers, and cultural figures signed an open letter to Peter Barbey, the billionaire owner of The Village Voice, accusing him of attempting to weaken the paper’s historic union. Barbey’s management team have purportedly sought to eliminate the paper’s diversity and affirmative-action commitments, reduce the amount of leave for new parents, and terminate the union’s ability to negotiate over healthcare. Signatories of the open letter include Hilton Als, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Jerry Saltz, Peter Schjeldahl, and Amy Taubin.
A group of local artists and activists published an open letter to the ICA Boston requesting that the museum pull its Dana Schutz exhibition.
Architect Shigeru Ban signed an agreement with the United Nations to design 20,000 new homes for refugees at Kenya’s Kalobeyei Refugee Settlement.
Vogue commissioned Elizabeth Peyton to paint a portrait of Angela Merkel. The work appears as part of a profile on the German Chancellor.
Alan Boyson, “Three Ships” (early 1960s), Hull, England (via Flickr/El Toñio)
According to the Hull Daily Mail, a request has been submitted to review the decision not to include Alan Boyson‘s “Three Ships” (aka the Co-Op Mosaic) to the UK’s national register of historic listed sites. The mosaic, which contains over one million cubes of colored Italian glass, is thought to be the largest of its kind in the country.
Germany’s State Paintings Collection agreed to retain a Renaissance painting from its holdings by purchasing it from the heirs of its Jewish owner. The work was looted by the Nazis and was later acquired by Hermann Goering.
Brothers Irving and Samuel Morano, the owners of Metropolitan Fine Arts and Antiques, pled guilty to illegally selling and offering to sell over $4.5 million in ivory. According to Cyrus R. Vance Jr., the Manhattan district attorney, the ivory recovered from the Morano’s store was the largest seizure of illegal elephant ivory in New York State history.
An Andy Warhol painting owned by rock star Alice Cooper was rediscovered in a storage locker where it lay forgotten for over 40 years. Cooper’s ex-girlfriend, Cindy Lang, gave Warhol $2,500 for the work — a red silkscreen of “Little Electric Chair” (1964) — in 1972. The painting, which is unsigned, has never been stretched on a frame.
Author Richard Polsky published an unofficial “addendum” to the Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné. According to an announcement, the addendum will focus “on genuine paintings that, for various reasons, were not included in the official Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné.” The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts ceased to authenticate artworks in 2011 after a number of protracted legal battles with collectors who fought against the foundation’s rulings on the provenance and authenticity of their works.
Cady Noland filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against art dealers Chris D’Amelio and Michael Janssen, collector Wilhelm Schurmann, and Berlin’s KOW Gallery. Noland claims that the group is responsible for a “forgery” of her sculpture “Log Cabin Blank with Screw Eyes and Café Door (Memorial to John Caldwell)” (1990). Noland disowned the work in 2014 after claiming that she was not consulted about its restoration. Her suit describes the work as a “reproduction,” arguing that the restoration process effectively destroyed the work’s original state.
Sydney’s Sirius building, widely considered an outstanding example of Brutalist architecture, was spared from impending demolition after a judge ruled that the former heritage minister Mark Speakman made legal errors when he decided not to include the structure on the State Heritage Register. Campaign group Save Our Sirius have fought against plans to replace the building with a new housing complex for well over a year.

Paula Pape, the daughter of artist Lygia Pape, filed a lawsuit against LG Electronics, alleging that a cellphone wallpaper created by the company is an “unauthorized derivation” of her mother’s 2003 installation “Ttéia.”
Ken Simons, Tate Liverpool’s art handling manager, will curate a show of work drawn from the museum’s collection prior to his retirement. The exhibition, Ken’s Show: Exploring the Unseen, is slated to open at the museum on April 2, 2018.
Microsoft made MS Paint available as a free app following reports that the program would be discontinued in Windows 10.
The National Museum of American History digitized 80 of Crocket Johnson’s Mathematical paintings.
The British Museum published the first 3D model of the Rosetta Stone.
The British Museum‘s annual accounts revealed that it lost a £750,000 (~$979,939) Cartier ring in 2011.
Transactions
Marcel Sternberger, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, 1952, Mexico City (image date 1952, print date 2017), silver gelatin print, gift of Robert and Malena Puterbaugh in memory of Anne Tucker, recipient of the 2008 Harrison-Hooks Lifetime Achievement Award, Polk Museum of Art
Robert and Malena Puterbaugh donated a Marcel Sternberger photograph of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera to the Polk Museum of Art.
Telfair Museums acquired a Nick Cave soundsuit for its permanent collection.
Jack and Sandra Guthman donated 50 photographs by contemporary women photographers to the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.
The South Street Seaport Museum received a $200,000 Maritime Heritage Grant from the National Park Service. The grant will be used to fund the restoration of the 1930 Tugboat W.O. Decker, the last surviving New York-built wooden tugboat.
The Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation awarded a $100,000 grant to the Parrish Art Museum [via email announcement].
The Getty Museum announced a major acquisition of drawings, including works by Michelangelo, del Sarto, Parmigianino, Rubens, Goya, and Degas.
The San Antonio Museum of Art acquired 31 photographic portraits from Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’s Latino List series.
The Nationalmuseum acquired two Italian scenes by Martinus Rørbye (1803–1848) and Constantin Hansen (1804–1880).
