Ephesus, one of the most important cities of the ancient world, serves as the murder scene of Cleopatra’s sister Arsinoë IV in 41 BCE. Who ordered her assassination?

When a collector once asked Jean-Michel Basquiat for his C.V., the artist offered to draw around the outline of his hand. I imagine Alma Allen’s hands, too, as a record of his experience: whorled and rubbed, smoothed and shattered — ‘plump with struggle’, as one critic described Allen’s life story. Though his sculptures take their final form in the hard stuff of stone, wood and, more recently, metal, each one still begins, as they have since he began carving with a pocketknife as a… More

A forgotten 17th-century tapestry begins its journey back into the spotlight in Florence

For nearly a century, a magnificent tapestry depicting the mythological story of Cupid and Psyche has remained out of sight, carefully stored away in the collections of Florence's Museo Nazionale del Bargello.

On October 19, The Banquet of Psyche, a monumental tapestry woven from wool and silk, left the museum for the first time in preparation for an extensive restoration. Its destination was not far away: the spe…

For many collectors, the story behind a watch is as compelling as the craftsmanship within it. Beyond mechanical ingenuity, rarity or aesthetic distinction, a timepiece carries the history of its ownership – a connection to the person who first acquired it, the life it accompanied, and the story it carries into the future. Provenance lends a watch an additional dimension of meaning, enriching its appeal with a human narrative that transcends its material value. In this respect, original ownership represents somethi…
