BERLIN.- Monika Sprüth and Philomene
Magers
present an exhibition of new works by Andreas Gursky in Berlin. The
series of
works represents an important new development in Gursky’s practice in
which the
artist reassesses the way he works with photography. Like many of
Andreas
Gursky’s works, the new, six-part series Ocean I-VI (2009-2010) goes
back to a
spontaneous visual experience. As the artist relates, while
flying one
night from Dubai to Melbourne he stared for some time at the flight
monitor: the
Horn of Africa to the far left, a tip of Australia to the far right –
and there
in between the blue void. Then all of a sudden he saw the graphic
representation
on the monitor as a picture.
AMSTERDAM (AP).- Nearly all of Anne Frank’s diary
went on display for the first time at the Dutch house where she wrote it

Anne
Frank House museum to mark 50 years since it opened its doors to the
public.
Dutch Queen Beatrix opened the exhibition, then attended a commemoration
at the
17th century Western Church a few dozen steps from museum.
