How Nazi-looted treasures ended up in a Jewish-owned collection

(The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Galleries. © Victoria and Albert Museum, London) LONDON (Jewish News) One day in 1969, Arthur Gilbert, a Jewish immigrant to Los Angeles from London, wandered into an antique shop on the city’s upscale Rodeo Drive – and fell in love. Specifically, he fell in love with an almost forgotten and startling art form what Gilbert called micromosaics thousands and thousands of tiny pieces of glass that form a picture, almost indistinguishable from a painting. The technique, developed in Rome in the 18th century and applied to objects ranging from exquisite tabletops to snuffboxes, became the core of one of the most extraordinary collections of decorative arts in any museum: the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection, on permanent loan at the Victoria and Albert Museum since 2008.

Offices have become museum pieces – in the case of Stephen Hawking s, literally

Introducing Rakewell, Apollo’s wandering eye on the art world. Look out for regular posts taking a rakish perspective on art and museum stories. With most people working from home for the last 14 months, few would be surprised if the office as it once was became a museum piece. Metaphorically, that is: nobody’s really expecting museums to start displaying staplers, ring binders, watercoolers and the like, plus that unfortunate Xerox from the office Christmas party, in vitrines to inspire the white-collar homeworkers of the future. One office is heading to a museum, however. The contents of the late Stephen Hawking’s office are heading to the Science Museum, with a selection of his papers and personal effects going on display at its headquarters in London next year. Hawking’s archive has been allocated to Cambridge University Library.
