“When you prick the tip of your finger, the blood is this beautiful shade of dark red. The color does not last very long—as the blood dries, it goes brownish and looks horrible, but for a fraction of a second it’s incredible. Discovering that you have cut your finger can be distressing and painful, of course—but looking at that magnificent shade of red is a beautiful distraction. I long to work with fabric in that color, and I am always looking for it, but I’ve never found it. I have seen reds in Francis Bacon and Mark Rothko paintings that are as intense as blood red, with the same violence and fear and with a kind of perversion. All those layers of red paint, one on top of the other, feel very sexual.”

— Haider Ackermann

And how did the Duchess find Mr Fox’s speech? I must confess I am not at ease with political speeches. Their very form tends to obstruct my view of their actual meaning, if such there be. In which particular section of the speech did the message elude Your Grace? Well, I have great sympathy with your sentiments in general, but I fail to fully comprehend how far we, the Whig Party, that is, are fully committed to the concept of freedom. We intend to extend the vote. To all men? Heavens no, but certainly to more men. Freedom in moderation.

A woman bought a sculpture at Goodwill for $34.99. It actually was a missing ancient Roman bust.

An ancient Roman bust from around the first century that had been missing for decades has finally made its way into the San Antonio Museum of Art, and all it took was for one artist to buy it from a Texas Goodwill for under $40.

In 2018, art collector Laura Young was shopping at a Goodwill store in Austin, Texas when she stumbled upon a sculpture on the floor beneath a table, according to the San Antonio Museum of Art. Someone that looks for undervalued or rare art pieces, Young told The Art Newspaper she bought the piece for $34.99, and a picture of it after she bought it shows it buckled up in her car with a price tag on its cheek.

After buying the bust, Young noticed it looked very old and worn, so she wanted to find out when and where it came from. Read more.
