German Art Discovered
Last year the news of $1 billion dollars worth of stolen historical art kept in Cornelius Gurlitt’s, apartment in Munich, Germany came to light on November 6, 2013. During the spring of 2011 many of the art pieces stolen by the Nazi’s were found due to an investigation by Bavarian tax authorities who broke in Gurlitt’s apartment for a suspected tax evasion.
Aversion Exhibit and Art Open House
After enjoying the production of Handel's "Messiah" Sunday evening at the Whitlock Music Center, several students along with the Greenville community made their way over to the Maves Art Center for the Messiah "after party", as some liked to call it. This "after party" was in fact an art exhibit that included a senior exhibition presented by Rebecca Frazier, the Art Department's Annual Art Open House, and even orignal music provided from DJs Pete Snacks and Komono.

There’s no way that the man with the iconic voice and extensive list of film can do even more, right? Wrong. The 67-year-old celebrity recently opened an art exhibit featuring his very own work. Selecting around 30 pieces from the past four decades, the appropriately titled “Sylvester Stallone. Art. 1975-2013” exhibit has opened at The Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Stallone is serious about his artwork.
