Thief steals $25,000 worth of equipment from St. Pete landscaping business

A thief stole about $25,000 value of gear and weighty machinery from a St. Petersburg tree and landscaping small business, and the proprietor hopes the group will assistance him uncover who’s liable.

Submitting a law enforcement report was the very last thing Ronnie Pownall predicted soon after Christmas. He owns Tree Ninjas Tree Solutions on 38th Avenue North in St. Pete.

“So I gave the men off and arrive again to my property to obtain out my machines and my skid steer and a great deal of things were stolen off the residence,” claimed Pownall.

He reported a thief hit his enterprise on Wednesday about 12:30 a.m., driving up to the entrance right away and applying bolt cutters to lower through the property’s gate. The St. Pete Law enforcement Division is investigating the burglary and theft of the trailer.

“We had a 20-foot devices trailer that is double axel. We had a skid steer that was tied down. It claims Tree Ninjas all above it the skid steer. It’s blacked out but has our emblem on it,” mentioned Pownall. “There was a pink scooter and a black gas-driven bicycle along with other items stolen.”

Pownall stated the burglar drove a white Chevy truck, and surveillance online video displays the vehicle driving by without the trailer then afterwards hauling it away.

“The primary products that was stolen is termed a Vermeer skid steer. It’s a grapple that picks up the tree trunks. It is only 36 inches extensive, provides it from the yard to the front lawn,” said Pownall.

The equipment does significant lifting and not just for trees.

“Predominantly for me, this was the major supply of revenue we have to deliver for my staff and their kids and their households. Now, we’re all set to go back to function following week, and we’re like we never have the appropriate products,” Pownall said.

So the operator is established to get solutions, posting images and security clips in social media groups.

“People from the town have been assisting try out to identify this,” claimed Pownall.

He has faith another person will obtain his property or at the very least share information and facts to aid.

At the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the female painter’s gaze is on display : NPR

For decades, women artists have been fighting to get their work on museum gallery walls. Recently, the battle is being won: Various exhibitions across the country feature female’s work. Once visitors notice the change, they see that art can be different when women wield the paintbrushes. Sometimes. And sometimes not.

Nothing much different there, except all the blue, and the beauty of the model and the painting. It’s called Queen Jane Approximatelylike the Bob Dylan song.

Gangloff doesn’t seem to be painting blue-as-in-sad. This blue is meditative, relaxed, reflective. The woman, former model and fashion designer Jane Mayle, is a friend — as are all of Gangloff’s models, says Andrea Karnes, curator of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth exhibition Women Painting Women.

The acrobatic Iraqi women below may be friends (although how long would you shoulder responsibility for a friend this way?). To me, they look more like relatives, maybe sisters, with their beautiful black hair, brows and red, red lips.

Kahraman paints this woman often. Contorted and multiplied as she is here, I see incredible strength. Those powerful legs, the steady gaze and humor — I laughed at first glimpse. But curator Karnes says it’s a salute to “countless displaced women, past and present.” Women who have suffered “disfigurement, violence, sexual abuse,” standing on the shoulders of their predecessors.

So, how do women paint women? It’s less about seeing them differently from men, than showing them different. For centuries, artists’ male gaze saw women as objects of desire, idealized and voluptuous, with luscious white skin and dimpled knees. Women artists in this exhibition, like Alice Neel and Emma Amos and others, show women as differently beautiful: pregnant, overweight, sometimes despondent. As we are, wrapped in our truths.

Arpita Singh’s mother has seen and lived through so much conflict: the bloody partition of India and Pakistan, with its religious divides, political disputes, loss and deaths. At the top of the canvas, like a frame, Arpita has written the words, “Between what I say and what I keep silent.” The mother clutches her hands. Her sari is white — in India, the color of mourning. Near her, a row of dead bodies. Surrounded by chaos, the mother is … what? Silent? Steady? Firm? Stalwart? What do you see in her face, reader?

Like so many of the 46 female artists in this exhibition, Luchita Hurtado had no money to hire models. But she had the wealth of her talent, and the will to make art. Again, like so many of these artists, Hurtado was driven to make art. She had responsibilities: a husband and children. At night, after dinner, when they’d gone to bed, curator Andrea Karnes says, “she would go into the closet and paint.” Driven, “even when there was no market for her work.” Hurtado said for her painting was a constant — “a need, like brushing your teeth.” And when she lacked money for models, her own body became her favorite model. Hurtado didn’t idealize herself. But she viewed herself from a perspective no man (or woman, for that matter) could share. Looking down toward the geometric Navajo rug, she painted her breast, her belly, hand, leg with clarity and tremendous confidence.

Do women paint themselves and one another differently? “Women artists look beyond the ideal beauty — the archetype” Andrea Karnes declares. In doing so, they create a portfolio of new archetypes.

Yours for $200m: why Warhol is now worth more than Picasso | Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol: obsessively commercial pop artist, the patron saint of reality television, Facebook, Instagram, selfies, TikTok and every other imaginable fulfilment of his prophecy that in the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. Or so it might appear. But that is not the real him. Warhol was a seer whose surfaces conceal mysterious waters. “What people think is Andy Warhol isn’t Andy Warhol,” says Tracey Emin.

Try an experiment to understand this. Start recording video and sit in front of the camera for three minutes. You are not to speak. You are not to leave your seat. Just look into the camera. “Be yourself.” But who is that?

This is what Warhol subjected people to in his Screen Tests, filmed at his New York studio the Factory in the 1960s. His subjects look dazed by an unblinking scrutiny. They can’t win. Whatever they do, the unmoving, unstopping film camera records it as the truth of who they are. Bob Dylan squirms and grimaces, openly contemptuous of the exercise – for which it’s said he grabbed one of Warhol’s Elvis paintings as “payment” – yet that becomes his portrait, and it is painfully callow. A young Lou Reed is soft and vulnerable, but in a later appearance he has learned the game, or thinks he has, and tries to stonewall the camera by keeping his black shades on while drinking a bottle of Coke in a sarcastic dig at Warhol’s pop art. Again, it’s a perfect portrait of who he was at that moment. So if social media were really like Warhol’s Screen Tests, we would be constantly facing our sins in a confessional. We would live in truth.

A more famous Warhol portrait will go on auction at Christie’s in New York in May: his Marilyn, the most iconic face of pop art. Warhol first created it in 1962, the year Monroe took her life, by cropping a publicity still from her early film Niagara to focus solely on her face, then getting a silkscreen mesh made so he could print it on canvas as many times as he liked, adding hand-painted colours. It’s probably his most recognised work, “one of the rarest and most transcendent images in existence”, if you believe the Christie’s blurb, which compares it to the Mona Lisa and Botticelli’s Venus. If Christie’s has got its estimate right, his 1964 painting Shot Sage Blue Marilyn will sell for about $200m (£150m). That will make it the most expensive 20th-century work of art ever auctioned. The current record is held by Picasso. So Andy will be established as bigger than Pablo and therefore the greatest artist of the modern age – at least according to an equation of artistic and monetary value he himself invented.

In 1962 Warhol started to literally print dollar bills. He churned out multiple images of the almighty dollar, not as forgeries but works of art. Money is beautiful, these early works of pop art whisper. Later he would get philosophical on the subject. “Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.”

But what is it that makes Shot Sage Blue Marilyn so apparently valuable? In 1964 a visitor to Warhol’s studio named Dorothy Podber created her own moment of performance art by pulling a gun and shooting a newly silkscreened Marilyn in the forehead. The shot went through the stack of canvases behind it; the one on sale still bears the poorly concealed scar. That frisson of violence and chaos adds to the sales pitch. But it’s all just the market’s way of catching up with the outrageous and unlikely fact that Andy Warhol is the greatest and most profound artist to have worked anywhere since 1945.

Warhol’s portrait of Marilyn seems to sum up so much about him. He made the word “superstar” famous, applying it to anyone who took his eye and could hold their own in the amphetamine-fuelled, sarcastic atmosphere of the Factory. His studio and hangout with silver foil walls came to define 60s Manhattan and regularly gets recreated in films as a plastic fantastic party venue. Warhol mixed adoration of “real” stars such as Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Elvis with a levelling belief that anyone can be a celebrity, at least for a moment. There’s a story that Judy Garland attended a party at the Factory only to be studiously ignored. Warhol made himself a celebrity, too, paving the way for today’s artists with his conscious exploitation of the media in everything from chatshow and soap appearances – albeit monosyllabic ones – to a burger ad that has become a posthumous viral hit. His 70s Polaroid portraits even made the rich and famous pay to become Warhol subjects. He fabricated his own image as an enigmatic svengali figure, portraying himself in half shadow, in shades, in drag.

There’s a better Warhol just behind the one we think we know. His greatest version of Monroe is not Shot Sage Blue Marilyn. It is Tate Modern’s 1962 Marilyn Diptych, painted just after her death, which repeats her face in bright colours on one canvas while on the other she fades to grey in a haunting film strip of memory failing, fame decaying, time running out. The inner Andy has taken over, and he has more on his mind than fame or money.

Emin admits it was only fairly recently that she saw Warhol’s true nature. Like any future artist and David Bowie fan growing up in 70s Margate, she was fascinated by him. “When I was at school I used to imagine that I would go to New York by boat and when I walked down the gangplank Andy Warhol would be there waiting for me.” But later, as a young artist, she would ask herself: “Who would you rather be – Andy Warhol or Joseph Beuys?” In those days Beuys appeared the true visionary to her, the shaman. He was a rear gunner in a Stuka dive bomber in the second world war who got shot down over the Crimea and saved – as he told it – by Tatar shamans who covered his burns with felt and fat. These substances became his ritual materials. Warhol, by contrast, was born in Pittsburgh in 1928, became a successful advertising artist drawing shoes in 50s Manhattan, then turned to fine art at the beginning of the 60s when contemporaries such as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Roy Lichtenstein were proving art could be made out of the stuff of everyday life and pop culture. “Warhol always looks external, but he was the real shaman,” Emin thinks now.

A shaman can shapeshift and enter other worlds to communicate with spirits and the dead. Take a look at Warhol’s 1963 painting Five Deaths on Orange. In the shocking news image that Warhol has silkscreened in black on an abstract plane of fiery colour, a young man and woman are crawling out of an upside down car. They look back into the twisted metal cage they have escaped, where a woman lies among dead bodies, her eyes blankly staring at yours. Is she dead, near death, dazed? She seems to have seen things the living don’t see. The two survivors look as if they are peering across a mortal threshold, while her eyes meet ours from the far side.

If I was going to fork out $200m for a Warhol it would be one of the Death and Disaster series to which this belongs. In fact the current record price for one of his works is held by Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster), which sold for $105m in 2013.

The Warhol we think we know didn’t last long. In 1962, he put on a sensational show of carefully painted Campbell’s soup cans at the Ferus Gallery, Los Angeles. The same year he started silkscreening Marilyn’s face. But by 1963 he and his assistant Gerard Malanga were ransacking tabloid news photos, some of which went back to the 1940s, of car crashes and suicides, and silkscreening these as black stains in fields of purple, red, green, silver. That same year John F Kennedy was shot dead and Warhol portrayed Jackie Kennedy at his funeral, her veiled face wounded by the nation’s disaster.

In Green Car Crash he repeats over and over, as if he can’t quite believe it, an image in which a man has been thrown out of a car and impaled on a tree. The car burns below his suspended corpse. A witness walks nonchalantly by, apparently unconcerned by this scene of extreme suffering.

That indifferent onlooker is exactly what many assume Warhol to have been himself: an unmoved spectator who celebrated not caring, the silver-wigged voyeur numbly pointing a camera. His harshest critic, Robert Hughes, called it “diligent and frigid” in an essay dismissing Warhol as one of the “affectless heroes” of the media age. But in Green Car Crash it is Warhol who portrays, and criticises, such emotionless looking; the man who walks on by is even scarier than the burning car. What the passerby ignores, what we modern secular people are schooled to ignore, is the miracle, the sign, amid the horror. For the man hanging from the tree has been turned into an image of Christ, his body fixed up there for all to see.

John Richardson, Picasso’s biographer and a friend of Warhol, revealed in a speech at the artist’s memorial service in 1987 that Warhol attended church regularly all his life and served secretly in soup kitchens. The world has had more than three decades to assimilate this information of Warhol’s religiosity, yet for many it is a bitter wafer. His latest biographer, Blake Gopnik, tries to dismiss the idea of Warhol as a Catholic artist. “Warhol certainly lived a less holy life, made more profane art and committed more mortal sins than should have been on the conscience of any devout Catholic, as defined by his era.” But since when were Catholic artists pure? From Caravaggio, to the novels of Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene, the most powerful religious art is often driven by a sense of damnation. “Warhol was so spiritual about everything,” says Emin.

You can go from seeing nothing but materialism in Warhol’s art to seeing the spirit everywhere. Soup cans? The sacrament. Marilyn’s mysterious face? A Byzantine icon; Warhol’s parents were from what is now eastern Slovakia and he was brought up in the Byzantine Catholic faith. And in the Marilyn diptych he explicitly uses the tradition of the medieval Christian altarpiece to depict Monroe as a modern martyr.

If that all seems excessive, Warhol managed to leave a very clear final testament confirming his worldview: an epic series of paintings of The Last Supper, silkscreened from a cheap repro of Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, in 1986, the year before he died. His life had been shadowed by frailty ever since he was shot, in 1968, by Valerie Solanas. He showed his wounded torso to be photographed by Richard Avedon and painted by Alice Neel, offering the image of himself as tortured saint, flagellated Christ.

Emin, who is the same age now that Warhol was when he died, and who recently survived cancer after life-changing surgery, is particularly fascinated by the late Warhol. “I really respect what Andy Warhol did after he was shot. He said all the tax has got to be paid, we’re cleaning up … He just grew up. He got rid of the Factory and got an office and everybody wore suits and ties. He realised all he could really give was to be an artist.”

In The Last Supper it is that moment we see. It is his own valedictory feast. For me, the disciples at the table are people from the Factory: Candy Darling, Edie Sedgwick, Billy Name, Ondine.

The Factory was not just a party scene. It was Warhol’s most risky venture into the extremes of sin and salvation, a theatre of human possibility and suffering in which the actors didn’t go off stage after two hours but played out their parts to the sometimes awful end. To just see it as the beginning of multimedia art and the death of painting doesn’t quite capture the strange authority of this artist and the milieu he wove around him. When Warhol moved out of fine art it was to let in the life of the streets, where the choices you make are moral, not just aesthetic. “Andy Warhol made the real more real,” says Emin.

He could do a very good impression of someone who didn’t give a damn. “Do you think when Edie jumps she’ll let us film it?” he is reputed to have said, apparently hoping Sedgwick would attempt suicide on camera. Yet he too was a character in this morality play, or Catholic novel. Is Warhol the devil leading sinners on an amphetamine-strewn path to hell, the bad Samaritan who does nothing – or rather, the recording angel who sees all?

In his Screen Tests the camera is the eye of God. Nothing gets past it.

If this all makes Warhol sound a bit romantic, that is exactly what he was. He is one of the few artists in recent times who lived up to the 19th-century cult of the artist as someone other, bohemian, able to see what others don’t. Adopting a distant mysterious persona, surrounding himself with people living on the edge, he took Romanticism into a new realm of modernity. He licensed such inspired chaos it got him shot.

So it’s not surprising that this artist so full of mystery and surprise is poised to outsell Picasso and become, by commercial acclaim, the god of modern art. But could we end up killing the thing we love? There’s an edge to Warhol that doesn’t let him slide smoothly into the mainstream. Constant subversion of the pop culture he seems to crave is what makes him so enduring. Christie’s sale of one of his less emotional Marilyns celebrates a middlebrow saint, but he’s not that. “Andy Warhol was not a popular artist,” Emin points out. “He was always alternative: alternative to everything that was going.”

Endless assortment, eye for design leads to growth for Forth Worth retailer

Fort Truly worth, Texas-dependent retailer There is No Put Like Home Furniture is opening a second shop this month.

FORT Value, Texas — In a minor extra than two a long time in organization, owner Abby Slayton-Tobin has built her shop, There’s No Put Like Residence Furnishings, like no location in Fort Value.

For starters, Slayton-Tobin has merchandise from some 800 distributors accessible via her retail outlet, which features circumstance items, upholstery, mattresses, rugs, lighting, décor pieces, wall art, residence office environment, outside and a lot more. It also presents comprehensive interior design and style services with degreed designers on staff members. It’s gotten recognized, as There is No Place Like Home has received honors for best home furnishings retail outlet in Fort Truly worth for 12 years operating. The keep is also increasing, as There is No Put Like Residence Two (Two, as it is acknowledged colloquially) gentle-opened on Dec. 18.

So how does a retailer showcase solution from that several suppliers in a footprint of close to 4,800 sq. toes?

“We have the most choice of any home furniture shop in Texas,” Slayton-Tobin told Home furnishings Nowadays. “What we do is present one particular sample piece from each individual producer in our showroom so folks can see the excellent, the development, the aesthetic of that business, but we can source everything from any of people producers.”

Slayton-Tobin mentioned, with relationships in place with so lots of suppliers, her store hasn’t been squeezed as really hard by supply chain constraints. Buyers have comprehensive access, and any merchandise purchased are fall-transported.

“We buy direct from the company. For the reason that lead instances are gradual appropriate now and stock is a pressure stage with furnishings, because we have so a lot of strains, we have a whole lot more resources to locate that piece of home furniture the purchaser needs that is in stock and prepared to ship,” Slayton-Tobin claimed.

“We can convey to them up entrance the specific a single they want may well be eight months out but we have seven extra that are identical or identical that we can get within 4 months. That cuts the hold out time down mainly because we have so quite a few manufacturers to supply from. For the reason that we really do not continue to keep stock, our rates are likely to be lower than a regular household furniture retail keep. We don’t have that overhead of stock.”

The employees designers operate with clientele at home and in the retail store, and get extensive notes and photos to create types and look books. Their comprehensive notes arrive in helpful for people shoppers who want to do a venture space-by-place alternatively than in one particular shot.

“Nothing’s as well modest, and nothing’s also big. We can do in-house design and style visits for our consumers, and our designers can set jointly a glimpse reserve for every single space,” Slayton-Tobin stated.

She observed layout small business and customers routinely arrive from all throughout the area. Underscoring that place, she explained that modern deliveries have incorporated Houston and Tulsa, Okla. “We have consumers who come from all about the condition.”

Whilst the to start with There is No Place Like Home, located at 855 Foch St., has come to be a thing of a spot, Slayton-Tobin is hopeful that Two, which is at 4854 White Settlement Road, can realize a equivalent standing in its neighborhood. So significantly, Slayton-Tobin said there are two present organizations there, but it’s attracting loads of new inhabitants, which bodes well for likely expansion.

“We’re in a pretty chaotic spot our first site is kind of a location location. We’re surrounded by museums and are living new music venues and a large amount of new household substantial rises. We’re exceptionally hectic here,” she claimed. “There’s a new place that is up and coming, the River District, and there are a whole lot of ideas for that location. I can envision, in a calendar year or so, obtaining a whole lot of foot site visitors and new individuals to the space in strolling distance from the new retail outlet. I’m seeking to support build that place up.”

And though Two will be about 50 percent the size of the authentic retail outlet, Slayton-Tobin feels that will not be a hindrance, only due to the fact she’s obtained a strategy that functions.

“The dimensions doesn’t make any difference since of all the distributors and lines we have, we’ll have the exact sum in the lesser store,” she mentioned. “Even even though it’s scaled-down, the availability of objects will be specifically the exact.”
