changing world that was the 1960’s With the dawn quartz technology on its way Patek sought a watch that was both unisex in its design and also immediately ‘Patek’ in its aesthetic Patek debuted the Golden Ellipse to immediate success as a result of its novel and forward-thinking design and luxurious construction Made from 18k yellow gold and powered by an automatic cal 3604 that we have here showcases the whacky and wonderful designs that brands created in the 1970s thanks to its hulking 37mm rounded rectangular construction which has earned it its “TV-Screen” nickname Offered on a silky intricate integrated bracelet and featuring a “brun soleil” (brown sun) dial that hosts a reddish brown color along with an appropriate sunburst effect this example is extravagant in just about the best way possible Discontinued in 1980 after being produced for a few years 3604 is one of several Golden Ellipse variants that have proven to become a true cult-classic in recent years as collectors begin to shine a light on the collection as whole Easily situated among the most iconic dress watches ever the Patek Philippe Calatrava embodies the very essence of what a classically-styled timepiece should look like Defining the entire market niche in 1932 when it debuted the Calatrava has become the foundation of Patek Philippe’s elegant offerings with the collection growing to include a multitude of references of various designs across a variety of dials complications and more – which the example we present here proves 5153G features the collection’s emblematic round case with a solid hinged caseback which provides a beautiful view of the gorgeously finished automatic cal 324 movement found beneath it when its opened With straight soldered lugs featuring screw-in bars further emphasising the historical officer watch aesthetic 5153G is a distinctive watch in its unique design as a modern Patek Philippe With a glossy black dial featuring case-matching 18kt white gold hands and indices 5153G is a monochromatic beauty that will look immaculate on any wrist and stand proud with its distinctive design language that we seldom see any more in today’s horological landscape the World Time Chronograph Complications ref 5935A boasts two design tenets that Patek Philippe collectors cherish the most especially when in Patek’s more complicated offerings; a salmon-colored dial Combining two of horology’s most impressive complications which is inextricably linked to Patek’s heritage 5935A epitomizes Patek Philippe’s impressive horological roots 5935A’s salmon dial features a set of charcoal grey 18kt gold hour markers a “carbon motif” decoration in its center and a series of concentrically-brushed rings along its periphery that house the city names and hours to power its world time function Patek’s first world-time model to be made of stainless steel 5935A is quite a historical piece for the Genevan Giants especially considering how important the world time complication is to their identity CH 28‑520 HU movement which is on display behind an exhibition caseback inside of its 41mm stainless steel case while also retaining a rather elegant and luxurious air to its impeccably crafted construction Launched in 1982 and remaining in production until around 1987 or “The Greek” is perhaps one of the most unique watches from within Patek’s storied historical offerings Speaking to the whacky and wonderful design themes that had become common place by the late 1970s and early 1980s Patek decided to derive inspiration from classical Greek architecture and other Greek design motifs Boasting Corinthian columns as the branchards of its 24mm x 30mm 18kt yellow gold case Greek key patterns in its dial and an ornate bracelet that speaks to Greek proportions and balance the Les Grecques is one of the most esoteric Powered by a quartz movement and featuring a salom-colored dial 3975 is watchmaking design and artistry at its very best –

prestigious photo competition in the country of Georgia Not to be confused with the state of Georgia the awards intend to link international photography to Georgia The organizers of the Kolga Tbilisi photo competition have been hosting the presentation of the winners in Cologne Germany as part of its intent to foster the international position of Georgia This year’s competition was judged by an international jury: Vanessa Winship and George Georgiou This year’s competition broke out into five categories: Documentary Series Entry fees were used to fund for the winners’ prize fund The winners in the first three categories received $1,500 each and the Mobile Photo – one shot category winner received $500 Below are the winning images from each category Photographer Emily Ducke was crowned the winner of the Documentary Series category for the series titled “The River Between.” “The Ket River was once a major Siberian thoroughfare it connected two of Russia’s biggest river basins In a region where extremes of weather turn overland roads from inaccessible ice to muddy rubble and back and where driving distances are measured in days and weeks the corridor the Ket River created was a key resource “But when the Trans-Siberian railway was built west-to-east traffic on the Ket River – the farmers and traders and Tsarist troops – began to dwindle “Fewer and fewer travelers needed the Ket and today its banks are home to just a few scattered and solitary settlements.” Photographer Alessio Paduano took top honors in this category for his series documenting the Coronavirus pandemic in Italy 2020 is a central date for the Italian story related to the new coronavirus several cases of coronavirus emerged in the Lodi area of Lombardy: these are people who do not come from China a new outbreak whose extent is still unknown 2020 the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte during a speech to the nation declares the entire Italian territory a “protected area” 2020 “World Health Organization” general director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced in the Geneva briefing on the coronavirus epidemic that Covid-19 “can be characterized as a pandemic situation” “Italy remains one of the deadliest hot spots of the coronavirus pandemic 2021 more than 99,000 people have died in the country according to Johns Hopkins University.” The Conceptual photo category hosted two winners: Jennifer Crane for her series “Outlaw (and other failed portraits)” and Andrea Pietro Signori for “Suspended: The rural life of Syrian refugees in Marjayoun in the middle of the Lebanese crisis.” “I consider the portrait as a trace of the body or performance for the lens the photographic portrait has been used to honor or vilify the human subject Initially my interest was in exploring family portraits this led to further explorations into portrait photographs in the public context such as museums institutional archives and in the news media In these images I pose my own body before the lens using a long exposure of several minutes rather than the conventional fraction of a second They are made using wet collodion one of the first photographic processes that requires the light sensitive emulsion to stay wet while exposure is made resulting at times in presence of liquid residue markings that interrupt the surface of the image and draw attention to the materiality of photograph which in most portraits remains invisible Through the creation of this fictional archive I seek to engage with issues of surveillance authenticity and archival practices.” “The crisis that has hit Lebanon put on knees Syrian communities This is the case of Marjayoun where about 5000 Syrian refugees live since the war broke out in Syria in March 2011 with many children whose majority was born in Lebanon serving as laborers in the service of Lebanese landowners The salary ranges from 4000 to 5000LL which is gradually losing purchasing power people are suffering the consequences of the heavy inflation Since the revolution broke out the official exchange rate of 1$=8000 LL (variable every day) has been joined by a parallel market “The concept involves the use of nylon used to cover

fantastico" the monographic exhibition dedicated to Cifrondi curated by Enrico De Pascale with Luca Brignoli representative of the different fields practiced by the artist: sacred painting will be open from April 15 until September 3 Cifrondi was a leading exponent of that Lombard artistic tradition otherwise known as the “painting of reality” (whose exponents include Moretto which has in its human and sincere adherence to the facts and people of daily life its distinctive feature Remembered by the sources for his executive rapidity and technical virtuosity Cifrondi who was a contemporary of Fra’ Galgario and slightly older than Giacomo Ceruti known as il Pitocchetto produced over the course of half a century more than four hundred works (altarpieces scenes of everyday life) partly still preserved in churches and private homes in the Bergamo and Brescia area the two canvases with Stories of Cambises painted by the painter around 1690 return to Palazzo Marinoni Barca after exactly one century there will be a projection on the Fanzago Astronomical Clock Tower in Piazza Orologio of the new videomapping dedicated to the “Cifrondi ’23” project The second project that the Municipality of Clusone dedicates to Antonio Cifrondi in 2023 with the aim of offering a widespread path of discovery and enhancement of a precious collective heritage is the first online cataloguing of all the painter’s visitable works preserved in public places - churches institutional buildings - of the city of Clusone Lovere and the cities of Bergamo and Brescia An activity realized with the

with essays and entries by Enrico De Pascale For information: www.visitclusone.it/mostra-cifrondi “Bergamo Brescia Italian Capital of Culture: an exciting challenge which stimulated us to want to imagine and promote a project that would be able not only to highlight Clusone but also to connect Bergamo and Brescia and the territory of the two provinces This was the motion that drove the Administration in the search for an initiative capable of combining the totality of these aspects the painter Antonio Cifrondi was identified as the figure that encapsulates the essence of the challenge we set ourselves: he is Baradello by birth worked and spent the last years of his life in Brescia leaving a very rich and varied pictorial production Through a conspicuous nucleus of carefully selected works-some of which have never been exhibited before-from museum institutions and private collections in Italy and abroad it will be possible to discover the style and work of one of the greatest artists from Cluson was greater: to leave a mark of this initiative over time something that would remain even after the exhibition was over the City of Clusone has therefore shared and created a significant itinerary through the places where it is possible to admire the works of Antonio Cifrondi: an action that looks beyond borders uniting more than twenty municipalities and intending to return to citizens the beauty and passion for culture as an invitation to live and experience art knowledge and the charm of the heritage that surrounds us,” declare Massimo Morstabilini Mayor of the City of Cl usone and Alessandra Tonsi Events and manifestations of the City of Clusone “The promotion of tourism in the territories and the emergence of local vocations,” explains Regional Councillor for Tourism “is one of the main objectives of my councillorship I am really pleased that the OgniGiorno inLombardia call represents an opportunity to enhance the artistic tradition of Lombardy through an intervention that fits fully into the concept of the great event ”Bergamo-Brescia capitale italiana della Cultura 2023." “The exhibition Antonio Cifrondi ”pittor fantastico" (the definition is by an 18th-century historian) comes seventy years after the celebrated exhibition I pittori della realtà in Lombardy (Milan 1953) that revealed Cifrondi to the general public and forty from the last anthological exhibition held in Clusone (1983) in the rooms of Palazzo Marinoni Barca (now home to MAT) It is an initiative that puts to good use the results of the most recent research on the painter-conducted for the most part by brilliant young scholars-which has helped to clarify many aspects (not all) of the artist’s boundless catalog and his biographical story The different sections of the exhibition and the catalog restore his multifaceted production in the areas of sacred and history painting over a sufficiently broad chronological span - from about 1690 to 1730 - to grasp his important advances on a stylistic and technical level," comments Enrico De Pascale
