To go on view again at last: Bernardo Bellotto’s “<strong>Dresden</strong><br />

from the right Bank of the Elbe with the augustus Bridge”<br />

(condition prior to restoration)<br />

Bernardo Bellotto: Der Canaletto-Blick – Das<br />

restaurierte Meisterwerk (Bernardo Bellotto:<br />

the Canaletto View – the Restored Masterpiece)<br />

26th August – 20th November, 2011,<br />

Cabinet exhibition by the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister,<br />

Semper Building at the Zwinger<br />

No painting has shaped our image of <strong>Dresden</strong> during the<br />

Baroque period more enduringly than the veduta “<strong>Dresden</strong><br />

from the Right Bank of the Elbe with the Augustus Bridge”<br />

created by the famous Venetian painter Bernardo Bellotto<br />

in 1748. Thanks to the campaign “For Canaletto” initiated<br />

by the society of friends of the <strong>Kunstsammlungen</strong> <strong>Dresden</strong><br />

“MUSEIS SAXONICIS USUI”, sufficient donations have been<br />

collected for the painting to be restored.<br />

Now, for the first time, the original signature of the artist<br />

is clearly visible and the exceptional artistry of this vedute<br />

painter can be appreciated once again. In addition, the<br />

exhibition will document the restoration work and present<br />

the research findings, enabling visitors to follow step by<br />

step the various processes undertaken by the restorers and<br />

scientists. The exhibition will also include examples of<br />

further views of <strong>Dresden</strong> in which Bellotto recorded the<br />

architecture and everyday life of the city on canvas, thus<br />

creating veritable ambassadors for the Saxon capital.<br />

16th September – 30th October, 2011, Exhibiton by the<br />

GRASSI Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig<br />

In Pro Community 2011, ARTKELCH will be bringing to Germany<br />

works of art created by the small but outstanding<br />

community­based arts centres in the Western APY Lands.<br />

Ninuku Arts, Tjungu Palya and Tjala Arts are located in the<br />

northwestern part of South Australia, just under 1,500 km<br />

from Adelaide, its capital, and a two­day journey from Alice<br />

Springs, the nearest centre in the Northern Territory. This<br />

remoteness, coupled with excellent arts centre management,<br />

is a true blessing for art from the APY Lands. The<br />

works, which are created “far away from the market”, are<br />

characterised by their originality, vitality and an exceptional<br />

degree of integrity.<br />

The artists have already been nominated for a wide variety<br />

of art prizes, even though these arts centres are relatively<br />

young. Last year’s Telstra Art Award was won by Jimmy<br />

Donegan of Ninuku Arts, for example. These arts centres<br />

– in communities whose names were, until recently, almost<br />

unknown – are therefore understandably regarded as insiders’<br />

tips in Australia.<br />
