Turner’s “Bamborough Castle,” a watercolor 광명출장마사지 not seen in public since 1889, went on exhibit at Sotheby’s in New York on Friday before its Dec. 5 sale in London. Considered Britain’s greatest watercolorist, Turner executed his painting of a castle on the edge of the North Sea in the mid-1830s. In 1890, the painting passed into the hands of the Vanderbilt family, where it remained for several generations, becoming effectively lost to much of the art world. The work is considered one of the finest watercolor drawings in the world, according to the auction house, and is expected to fetch from $3 million to $5 million. The highlights of Sotheby’s sale of impressionist and modern art next Wednesday and Thursday in New York include Paul Gauguin’s “Te Poipoi” (“The Morning”), a portrait of a Tahitian woman expected to bring up to $60 million. Van Gogh’s “The Fields (Wheat Fields),” painted in early July 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, may be the last landscape ever painted by the artist, who died later that month. Its sale price was estimated at between $28 million and $35 million. The sale also includes Pablo Picasso’s 31½-inch sculpture of artist Dora Maar – Picasso’s muse, model and lover – that Sotheby’s describes as the finest sculpture by the artist ever to appear at auction. It could sell for as much as $30 million. 2Christie’s sale...

(CBS News) The rapidly deteriorating situation in Syria is directly affecting all of its neighbors, including the kingdom of Jordan. The King of Jordan, Abdullah II, who has ruled Jordan since the death of his father King Hussein in 1999, told “CBS This Morning” that Syria’s president Bashar Assad will continue to “stick to his guns” indefinitely. “He believes that he is in the right,” Abdullah told Charlie Rose in Amman on Sunday. “I think the regime feels that it has no alternative, but to continue. … I don’t think it’s just Bashar. It’s not the individual. It’s the system of the regime. So if Bashar was to exit under whatever circumstances, does whoever replace him, have the ability to reach out and transform Syria politically? So for Bashar, at the moment, if I if I’m reading the way he’s thinking, is he’s going do what he’s going to do indefinitely.” Though he thinks there’s still hope, Abdullah said, “I’m worried about the longer we take to find a political solution and the more the chaos continues then we may be pushing Syria into the abyss. So my point of view is let’s move as quickly as possible. I mean, conference after conference is great. International forums where we get the Russians and Chinese involvement is fine. But we can’t afford time. … There’s a reality on the ground...

MOUNT BENTAL, Golan Heights – As Syrian regime forces clash with rebels close to the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, this windswept plateau has become a front-row seat to Syria’s escalating civil war. Curious Israelis and foreign tourists toting binoculars have been drawn to the area to try to get a glimpse of the fighting, even as others sit in a cafe overlooking the Syrian frontier area, sipping from tiny cups of espresso and frosty glasses of beer. The thud of exploding mortar shells and smoke billowing from Syrian territory below have drawn Israelis to lookouts along the suddenly tense frontier, including this spot on Mount Bental — a former Syrian army post that Israel seized when it captured the strategic plateau from Syria in 1967. The deteriorating situation in Syria has become a mounting concern for Israel, which fears the unrest will spill over the border, and the long-quiet frontier area will become a new Islamist front against the Jewish state. Meir Elakry, an off-duty Israeli security guard who lives just 10 miles from the Syrian border, said he was afraid Syrian President Bashar Assad would become desperate and turn his guns on Israel. “I want to know what the danger is to my house,” said Elakry, clutching a pair of binoculars. “I don’t believe Assad will be quiet if he falls.” Warfare in Syria’s biggest city ragesOfficial: Israel to...
