he was one of the art dealers selected, one of the 14 to move works of art that had been removed by german museums, it was considered and they exchanged them into some of thee works of art and the collection came out of the german museums and that is a complicated case the likes of which we haven't seen on this scale before. others have been purchased in our markets and may be for sale. there've been a few that have been identified as highly suspect. the germans mistake was to allow it to be treated as a tax matter for the first two years and only to disclose when reporters got wind of it and they were going to write the story. but by then of course the public opinion back to that had cast them in a very bad light for not grabbing hold of this and seeing what an explosive topic it was. more time is going to have to pass. the numbers that have speculated our ridiculously too high and no one has seen the work of art or how anyone can come up with a value that is pretty good i guess at that stage, but it's worth a lot of money and it's a case that needs to be resolved and it's bringing that h

is the art ofnt compromise, as i would like to of it is not simply the art the best or the art of the possible, but the art of the best possible. so too fast forward to the ofning lines to the preamble the constitution, it is "we the people, in order to create a more perfect union," it does not say to create a perfect union. but it doesn't say we will put up with the union we had before. because we know there were problems with the union we had before. union can beno perfect. so how do we make something more perfect? we could make it perhaps perfect if we got rid of liberty. why do we have faction? because we are free to be naughty. of it andd get rid give everybody the same interest, the same passion. "brave new world," those things are thinkable. int is opted -- opposite addition to what i've mentioned. art of of the best, the the possible, the art of the best possible and i am going for the art of the best possible. i think that is what the constitution managers to achieve. what else should we look at in terms of opposites when we look at the art of compromise? aten, i learn by loo

street art is ephemeral. metre high art works that grace entire facades are made for eternity. and buildings can get torn down or repainted so legal or not street art is transitory by nature. now the urban nation museum in berlin is out to bring street art indoors it's one of the world's first prominent museums for contemporary urban art. but can art born on the street really work in a museum. through the heart of the street art belongs on the street and should stay there here at the urbanization museum and we asked one hundred thirty artists who normally decorate building walls to come up with an artwork measuring one metre by one metre fifty for the museum. from when these are kinds of done in but at the same time we will continue to work with these artists on large outdoor projects of halls and with. the aesthetics and styles of various street artists are now captured on canvas this helps visitors identify the artist's work out on the street. it's been positive i'm surprised to see street art in a museum park who can spread patients were high but now it's amazing like the th

this is what is possible. >> why is it that arts is first thing that gets cut, art and music gets cuthen we have budget issues? you know, that s you as a states attorney who has to deal with what happens when people run off the rails and their lives go into a ditch, and you think if only they -- >> an outlet, you know. >> an outlet or something that inspire them or gave them something to pump through their hearts. >> i think you're right. it is a misguided strategy that says we should eliminate the things that make us human. when we see how often it is to dehumanize an individual, to commit a crime against a person, and we find that hurt people hurt people. there has to be a way to heal the things that hurt us, especially in childhood. what is it we have to turn to? art tends to be that sort of healing force, a place toes express themselves, to express everything about life, that which is great, that which is troubling. heart does that and it heals. it is unifying, a universal language that connects people of all backgrounds and cultures and socioeconomic status. it is fantastic. we n

she is a dedicated advocate for the arts. in lisa's words, there is nothing that holds us together more as americans or human beings as what comes to us through the arts. the u.s. capital historical society was honored in 2004 to be awarded the humanities medal. with a ceremony in the white house, a very exciting moment for the society, and personally for me. so, i would like to now bring to the podium senator lisa murkowski. [applause] senator murkowski: ron, thank you for that. it is indeed an honor to be with you this evening. to the family, mr. and mrs. miranda, wonderful to have you with us as we recognize this evening, lin-manuel miranda. there may not be many americans who are familiar with the u.s. capital historical society and the role that it plays. it is an incredibly important actually, because not only does the society preserve the past and history through programs like the freedom award, but the society helped americans see the living connections between the past and where we are today. thatlps us to understand

it is a form of reproduction of art. it is not art. imean, it reproduction of art. it is not art.is not creating a piece, it is reproducing apiece. and i think any kind of reproduction of art does help people, and whether it isa art does help people, and whether it is a poster or a postcard or anything. but that is not much better than, you know, anything. but what happens when another artist wa nts to what happens when another artist wants to come and spoil the fun? geo— tagging their own work in the same place? well, new york based sebastian has created the first example of ar vandalism. using his own app, he geo— example of ar vandalism. using his — d a example of ar vandalism. using his own app, he geo— tagged a vandalised version ofjeff koons's sculpture in the same location in new york's central park. which may have scandalise him but would in effect those using snapchat anyway. although it does raise questions about the future of this sort of art and virtual public spaces. for a company to have the freedom to gps tag whatever they want is an enormous luxury that we should n

art of the possible, the art of the best possible and i'm going for the art of the best possible. and i think that is where the constitution manages to achieve. what else should we look at in terms of opposites as we go through this art of compromise. often i learn by looking at opposites, what things might not -- might not be. so for example, this is the 230th anniversary but nothing particularly entertrinning tra entertaining or grabbing about 30 or if you are over 30 and don't trust anybody and don't trust anybody under 30 and you don't understand that joke unless you lived in the '60s. but there is nothing particularly interesting or compelling about 230. maybe there le will be at 250. but there was something compelling at 150. and that was during the great depression and fdr. and he gave the 150th anniversary talk at -- of the constitution -- the signing of the constitution. and the phrase which he thought was the most important phrase in the entire constitution was we the people. and the way in which he and his associates interpreted that phrase is there ain't nothing that w

seeing how art can apply to something creative and rebellio rebellious.ove to the new punk rock which is hip-hop. i like the idea of using art to reach a lot of people not in a populous way. if you are taking the time to communicate visually, why not have it being meaningful. >> back to the story of your life, your biggest work -- the most rex neuroscienceabcognizab. >> that's global instantly. >> obama's popularity is what propelled that. i was lucky to create something that i think people thought it was compelling enough to become the symbol. >> yes. you bet obama? >> yes, i have. >> what did he say to you about the poster? >> well, he said that he was really grateful for it and that he thinks artists are an important thing and he learned enough about my background. he had several people that worked with him that knew my history and things i have done against the iraq war and the patriot act. i think that he was flattered that ill potentially sacrifice my street credit to do something for him. it was really cool that he got that deep on it and you know

you talk about art, you talk about how we deal with visual images. essays reminded me of people likejohn berger, for example, writing in ways of seeing, which was almost a revolutionary book. he was writing from a marxist perspective but it was all about how we look at things, which most of us are often not conscious of. yes, i think the way we frame questions in the culture is vital, and i think we need multiple frames. so, if you are literate in both the sciences and the humanities, you have access to a number of different perspectives and that allows you to dance, as i call it, among those perspectives and solve problems in the particular discipline that you are working in. that's the crucial point. you are... not uniquely but you are splendidly placed to do this because you are a novelist, a very successful novelist, you love the visual arts but you also, as we speak you are on your way to deliver a paper at a neurology conference. you are making a case for the importance of thinking, of looking at an image and trying to work it out, of looking a
