Empire    WEDNESDAYS on FOX

Galerie Myrtis is pleased to announce that artwork by Jamea Richmond-Edwards, Jeffrey Kent and Arvie Smith will be featured on Fox’s new drama series Empire. The first episode will air January 7, 2015.

Synopsis: Hip-hop artist and CEO of Empire Entertainment, Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), has always ruled unchallenged, but a medical diagnosis predicts he will be incapacitated in three years, which prompts the sharks to circle. Without further damaging his family, he must decide which of his three sons will take over. The reappearance of Cookie, his ex-wife (Taraji P. Henson), complicates things; she says he owes her for taking the fall for the drug-running that financed his early career.

The Exhibition

The World’s Most Expensive Paintings

Talk also included a viewing of the BBC documentary The World’s Most Expensive Painting which addresses provenance.

The basic structure was a chart-style rundown of the 10 most expensive paintings ever sold at auction, with a top three consisting entirely of works by Picasso. The stories of the individual sales were fascinating enough in themselves – even if most of the buyers were unavailable for interview (not least because they don’t want us to know who they are). Taken as a whole, though, the program added up to a lot more than that.
