This unique portrait bust of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, who ruled from AD 161 to 180, was excavated in Avenches, Switzerland—the ancient Roman site of Aventicum—in 1939. Discover this remarkable object, made by hammering a single sheet of gold, and explore the history of an ancient city where Roman institutions blended with the local traditions of a Celtic tribe known as the Helvetii.

See it at the Getty Villa Museum until January 29, 2024 in Malibu, #California #Getty

THE CONSERVATION OF CAVE 85 AT THE MOGAO GROTTOES, DUNHUANG by Lori Wong and
Neville Agnew (editors, 2013).

"The Mogao Grottoes, a World Heritage Site in northwestern China, are located along the ancient caravan routes—collectively known as the Silk Road—that once linked China with the West. Founded by a Buddhist monk in the late fourth century, Mogao flourished over the following millennium, as monks, local rulers, and travelers commissioned hundreds of cave temples cut into a mile-long rock cliff and adorned them with vibrant murals. More than 490 decorated grottoes remain, containing thousands of sculptures and some 45,000 square meters of wall paintings, making Mogao one of the world's most significant sites of Buddhist art."

I've called the 1980s in commercial Unices a lost decade, before. Linux development worked from samizdat doco from the 1970s, and missed out on an awful lot of advances, some of which it has still not caught up with to this day.

Fun example: Commercial Unices got rid of #getty in 1988, almost half a decade before it got reinvented for Minix.

Hmmm... so the #NationalPortraitGallery & the #Getty have reached a deal to jointly buy Reynolds' Portrait of Mai (Omai) - a deal that has been discussed for a while... there's a little more to do to finalise it (i.e. NPG is currently about £1mn short) but looks like the new joint ownership will go ahead...

The Q. will be, how does this work; five years in London, five in LA?

If so will a constant albeit leisurely commute have an adverse effect on the picture?

Time will tell

"To get into the Bettmann Archive, about 90 minutes north of Pittsburgh, you need more than a library card. You need the proper credentials to get past the armed guards at the door. You need to be gloved and swaddled in several layers to deal with the cold. And you need to be OK with claustrophobic conditions, since the trip requires being shuttled hundreds of feet underground.

If you meet all those conditions, you might get a glimpse of Getty Images’ hidden trove of photographic history."
