New Media Art

What exactly constitutes this type of art?

The Fossil Industry

The Fossil Industry

Excavation methodologies have evolved from the simple basket and pickaxe used in the earlier centuries, and prices have risen to a headline-worthy status—but our passion for connecting with and collecting prehistory remains as strong as ever.

MONTECRISTO Magazine: Contemporary Ceramics

Contemporary Ceramics

Long regarded as a “minor craft”, ceramics have emerged from the annals of antiquity and shelves of granny’s china cabinet to become a platform for social commentary, a place to confront tradition, and a medium in which to explore form over function.

MONTECRISTO Magazine: Surfing for Art

Surfing for Art

MONTECRISTO Magazine: Art Vandalism

Art Vandalism

MONTECRISTO: Public Art

Art in Public Spaces

Early manifestations of public art were memorials, behemoths feting victories of warfare or commemorating leaders. Today, public art’s relevance is manifold as a vehicle for, commentary on, and reflection of social, political, and cultural experience and change.

MONTECRISTO: Middle Eastern Art

Middle Eastern Art Markets

While talk of Egyptian art at auction typically bends one’s thoughts toward antiquity, the sale of artist Mahmoud Said’s The Whirling Dervishes for over $2.5-million could be seen as a turning point in the fluorescence of the Middle Eastern modern and contemporary art market.

MONTECRISTO: Lending artworks for exhibition

Lending Artworks for Exhibition

Sometimes the loan of an art object to a cultural institution can be more than an act of philanthropy, a contribution to scholarship or a strategic financial calculation; it can be an act of peace between nations.
