SALZBURG.- This first exhibition of Hans Josephsohn’s (1920–2012) works at Thaddaeus Ropac presents sculptures and reliefs from the mid-1970s to the early 2000s, tracing the Swiss artist’s stylistic development over the course of three decades, and placing an emphasis on his late work. Josephsohn’s practice is characterised by his lifelong preoccupation with the human form as the starting point for his art. Throughout his career, he developed a wholly unique visual language, pushing the boundaries of figurative representation and placing emphasis on the very substance of the human form.

‘Unique opportunity’ to see Italian Renaissance drawings in London

It was a Night at the Museum for special NBC Olympic correspondent Snoop Dogg, and a history lesson unlike most. As the 2024 Summer Olympic Games continue in Paris, Snoop was given a private, after-hours tour of the Louvre, home to some of the world’s finest art, as seen in a Thursday, August 1, 2024, promo clip on TikTok by NBC Olympics. The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper was guided through the grandiose empty wings to do some “snooping around,” avoiding the tens of thousands of tourists who visit the museum daily.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

LONDON.- On a fine, bright morning last Friday, just like so many other fine, bright mornings, Gary Pickles took a walk. Pickles, a ranger who works at Northumberland National Park in England, just south of the Scottish border, was inspecting a route that wends past Hadrian’s Wall, constructed by the Roman army in the second century. He walked past the cleft where the Sycamore Gap tree had famously jutted out into the landscape before it was illegally cut down last year, and he bent down to its stump.

A 2000-year-old hunk of metal with gears on it was found near the island of Antikythera in Greece 120 years ago and left people questioning everything we know about computers. The piece of metal was anything but ordinary. It is now believed to be the oldest known computer on the planet and was found among various other things in a shipwreck near the island, per BBC.
