Sinopsis

Art Provenance explores the crucial role of an artwork's history in establishing its authenticity, value, and historical significance. It reveals how provenance research is essential for art historians, collectors, and institutions.

 
The book examines the methodology of tracing an artwork's past, utilizing archival documents, auction records, and exhibition catalogs to reconstruct its ownership timeline. Intriguingly, a well-documented provenance can either support claims of authorship or raise red flags regarding an artwork's origins, influencing its market value.

 
Additionally, the book addresses the ethical considerations surrounding provenance, particularly concerning looted or stolen art, emphasizing the need for due diligence. The book systematically defines provenance and its significance, delving into specific case studies that illustrate how provenance research has uncovered forgeries and resolved ownership disputes.

 
By focusing on Western art traditions, Art Provenance offers a deep dive into the methodologies and challenges of provenance research within this context. It demonstrates how a clear and complete provenance provides crucial insights into an artwork's reception, influence, and broader historical narrative, moving beyond simple monetary valuation.

BLADE RUNNER 2049 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Blade Runner 2049 is a neo-noir science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve, set 30 years after the events of the original Blade Runner (1982). The story follows K, a replicant blade runner played by Ryan Gosling, who uncovers a long-buried secret that could alter the balance between humans and replicants. As he investigates, K grapples with his own identity and purpose in a world where artificial beings struggle for autonomy. The film explores themes of humanity, memory, and artificial intelligence, set against a dystopian backdrop of environmental decay and corporate control, all while examining the complexities of existence. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
"Director Denis Villeneuve's first choice for the role of Niander Wallace was David Bowie, but sadly, he passed away before filming began." 
  
"The opening scene where 'K' (Ryan Gosling) confronts Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista) mirrors an unused scene from the original Blade Runner (1982). In that scene, Deckard was supposed to shoot a Replicant and remove its artificial jaw, but the sequence was ultimately abandoned." 
  
"To emphasize Joi's artificial nature, editor Joe Walker experimented with freezing her image for nine frames just before she responds to a question, creating a brief pause as if her processor was occupied. However, this approach felt forced, so it was dropped in favor of other visual cues, like her changing costumes."

George Michael's Faith

Matthew Horton

On Saturday, June 28, 1986, George Michael picked up his tasseled leather jacket, walked out of London’s Wembley Stadium and cheerfully tore up five years of glittering pop history. He’d just disposed of Wham!, the band he’d formed with school friend Andrew Ridgeley when they were teenagers, and now, at 23, he knew he was all grown up. He just needed to convince everyone else. Faith is what happens when you’ve outstripped your dreams, your peers, your friends and your fans, and no one’s caught up yet. It’s about pouring all of that confusion, insecurity and sizzling ambition into music that comes out confused, insecure and ambitious – and then selling 25 million copies of it. George Michael was always preparing for this and, in the process, he set a template for all disaffected singers making that move. This book examines that model and the themes that went into Faith – from engaging in politics to crossing over to a Black audience and writing classic pop songs to endure – and speaks to the surviving key players to tell the story of how it was made.
