Castello Estense di Ferrara, Ferrara, IT Italy At the Imbarcadero Rooms of the Ferrara Museum of the Estense Castle �Traces of memory� presents works - spoiled from the routines, conventions, acumulation of practicalities, liberated and delivered into the primary, sensitivity of self, of the elements. The freshness of English Gardens, the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea, hellenic Temples, the dancing Genie even when at rest, are composing the language of visual expression of Alkistis Wechsler in her recent paintings, collages, and digital compositions. A choice out of the magic box is in this year�s International collective exhibition in Ferrara, as curated by the art critic Paola Trevisan of the Trevisanarte Gallery. Also featured is 'A Whirlwind of Recollecting' by Melanie Prapopoulos. Several Premiere Portfolio Members from absolutearts.com are highlighted in the exhibition.

I am mesmerized by nature and the visual ironies with which it presents itself. The contradictions in its color palette, along with its subtle nuances, have always made a lasting impression on me. Those impressions influence my work through digital manipulation of my original photographs and mixing unconventional media with the stroke of a thick brush. Nature's elements are so intertwined with a simple complexity and strong, raw beauty that I need to bring these characteristics into my work. | | |  DANIEL WASINGER ORIGINALS

Sacrifice for Cezanne
Nicholas Forrest, Australia
 The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia is selling two major works by two Australian artists from it's collection to raise the remaining funds needed to purchase a painting by Cezanne titled Bords De La Marne. Director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Edmund Capon, is the driving force behind the purchase of the work for AUD$16.2 million from a Swiss private collection which will be the most expensive work ever purchase by a gallery in Australia. Having committed to purchasing the work without having all the funds available, Capon and the gallery have had to do everything that they can to raise the extra funds in hurry and have been begging for donations at every opportunity. The two works being sold to help fund the purchase are Balmoral by Brett Whiteley's and Pleasure Craft John Perceval's both of which are very important works by two of Australia's most important artists. Apparently the benefactor who donated the pieces has given his blessing to the sale which is all very nice but what would the artist's think and what would their opinion of the sale be if they were alive today?
