"A new exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, called Made in Ancient Egypt, reveals untold stories of the people behind a host of remarkable objects, and the technology and techniques they used. The Art Newspaper 's digital editor, Alexander Morrison, visits the museum to take a tour with the curator, Helen Strudwick. One of the great revelations of the past two decades in scholarship about women artists is Michaelina Wautier, the Baroque painter"
"And this episode's Work of the Week is Robert Rauschenberg's Bed (1955), one of the most important works of US art of the post-war period. It features in the exhibition Five Friends: John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, which this week arrives at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne. We speak to Yilmaz Dziewior, the co-curator of the exhibition."
Made in Ancient Egypt at the Fitzwilliam Museum presents untold personal stories of the people responsible for remarkable objects and examines the technologies and techniques they employed. The presentation foregrounds craft, production methods, and the human agents behind ancient material culture. Michaelina Wautier is identified as a major rediscovered Baroque painter active in mid-17th-century what is now Belgium, with a large exhibition opening at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna and later traveling to the Royal Academy in London. Robert Rauschenberg's Bed (1955) is highlighted as a pivotal post-war US artwork appearing in the Five Friends exhibition in Cologne.
