DIEGO VOCI #ART – “THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE! NOT EVEN ONE!”

“The faces of the women”, Christine Khan replied to Coop #Cooprider just three years ago when asked, “What attracted you to Diego?”

Like so many DIEGO collectors Christine could not stop at having one Diego and she is hoarding them and enjoying them to this day. Christine Khan owns more than 3 dozen DIEGO artworks, but states very clearly in the interview with Coop (and Helga as a witness): “THEY ARE NOT FOR #SALE –  NOT EVEN ONE!”

Above, you see “TWO WOMEN”, 27 in. x 20 in, Painted on #Copper Plate.

In Diego and Helga #Voci’s home in Taunusstein, #Germany (near Wiesbaden) Coop Cooprider, with his daughter Kendra and her son Ian, made video clips of their interviews. With Helga and Alessandra Voci to join them that Saturday before #Easter of April 7, 2012, Christine Khan recounted her memories of Diego and her relationship with the #Artist and his family. Stay tuned for more fun facts about the #Painter, #Father, and #Friend.  See more:  https://www.pinterest.com/diegovoci/

Italy Risks Priceless Riace Bronzes for Cash

Alexander Forbes, Thursday, August 21, 2014 (Click on Link above to artnet)

“Italian culture minister Dario Franceschini is weighing whether to ship the world-renowned #Riace Bronzes from their home in #Calabria, over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) north to Milan, the Corriere della Sera reports. In the proposed plan, the pair of statues would travel to the next Universal Exposition, EXPO 2015, for a period of six months. However, many experts believe that even a slight movement could result in the nearly 2,500-year-old-statues’ destruction. There’s no telling, they say, what havoc such a lengthy trip could wreak.

Known interchangeably as the Riace Bronzes or the Riace Warriors, the pair of life size statues depict naked Greek warriors and were created between 460–420 BC. They are currently housed at the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia in a climate controlled room on pedestals designed to minimize even the slightest movement due to seismic or other activity. First discovered in 1972, they underwent nine years of conservation before emerging to great fanfare in 1981. They recently underwent a second round of restoration from 2010–2011 while the museum was also undergoing renovations.”
