DENVER — Colorado sports fans experienced the wild highs and lows of dueling Game 7s on Saturday night, and unfortunately the Colorado Avalanche feel like they missed out on a great opportunity by losing to the Dallas Stars. “At the end of the day, the reality is that the Avs have been bounced in round one of the playoffs in two out of the past three years, and this was supposed to be the best roster they've had right then raising the Cup,” Denver7’s Bradey King said. In this week’s Talk of the Town, King and Nick Rothschild break down the future of the Colorado Avalanche, including possible moves among management. “I have trouble seeing where this team can improve,” Rothschild said. “That worries me and kind of can create a stale atmosphere.” Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets blew out the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 7 to advance to the second round of the NBA Playoffs where they’ll face the best team in the west — the Oklahoma City Thunder. “Take advantage of people doubting you, no one expects much of you,” King said of the underdog Nuggets. “Go in there with no expectations and just play loose.” “For me, Aaron Gordon is the guy that drives the success for this team,” Rothschild said. Find out why Rothschild believes Aaron Gordon is Denver’s x-factor, plus see who the Denver7 crew thinks will win this series, in Talk of the Town!

Eleanor and Edward (1790) Guercino: Private Collection Two remarkable works from the collection of the late financier philanthropist and cultural leader Jacob Rothschild are joining two London institutions the National Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) under the UK’s acceptance in lieu (AIL) scheme a commanding oil painting by the Bolognese master Guercino where Rothschild was chair of trustees from 1985 to 98 There it will join two related works by Guercino both of which were painted as pendants to King David Edward and Eleanor (1790) by the leading Neoclassical sculptor John Deare Both works go to the respective institutions as part of the UK’s AIL scheme in negotiations brokered by Christie’s heritage and taxation department those liable for inheritance tax can in certain circumstances cover this liability by giving art or heritage property providing they are of “pre-eminent” importance or associated with a historic building The items are then assigned to an appropriate museum or a heritage body whereby they are kept in the UK and made accessible to the public The acceptance of King David in lieu of inheritance tax on Jacob Rothschild’s estate settled £5.6m in tax was one of the most influential and consequential figures in the British art world and a noted collector of both historic and contemporary work As the leader of institutions such as the Heritage Lottery Fund Somerset House in London and Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire he changed how the UK’s heritage is regarded Rothschild made Waddesdon—one of the great Rothschild treasure houses which he managed and financed through a family foundation which leased it back from the National Trust—an award-winning museum and home to loan exhibitions The house and estate were at the heart of his concern with making the experience of art open to all Set up in 1994 to distribute the money allotted to heritage causes by the UK’s newly launched National Lottery Rothschild was also the first chairman of the Heritage Lottery Fund He played a transformational role in the country’s arts sector as the fund distributed over £900 million ($1.46 billion) for more than 1,600 projects in its first three years of operation also a former chair of the National Gallery said that her father “regarded Guercino’s King David—a masterwork of the Italian Baroque—as one of the crowning acquisitions of his lifetime It was his wish to see King David reunited with its two Sibyls at the National Gallery and his family is grateful to the AIL panel and to the National Gallery for giving it a distinguished home amongst such illustrious company.” "The exquisite marble relief by John Deare,” Hannah Rothschild said “is of such rarity and importance that my father…felt it must find its home in a national institution Our family is delighted that the AIL Panel and the V&A have accepted this bequest fulfilling his vision with such care and distinction.” The Cumaean Sibyl with a Putto and The Samian Sibyl were all commissioned from Guercino in 1651 by his patron Prince Giuseppe Locatelli The Samian Sibyl was painted as a replacement pendant to King David after another client acquired The Cumaean Sibyl from Guercino’s studio in Bologna before it had been delivered to Locatelli This duly came to pass after Mahon died in 2011 King David and The Samian Sibyl had meanwhile been bought from the Farnese collection in Rome in 1768 by John Spencer joining his celebrated collection held at Althorp House in Northamptonshire Athenian Stuart designed imposing Neoclassical frames for both Guercino canvases which were hung on either side of the doors into the Great Room at Spencer House the 7th Earl Spencer moved both Guercino works to Althorp for safety At the National Gallery, King David will be on display in Room 32—alongside other 17th-century Italian works by artists such as Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi—as part of C C Land: The Wonder of Art, the rehang of the National Gallery which will be unveiled to the public on 10 May. John Deare, Edward and Eleanor (1790) Courtesy of the estate of Jacob, 4th Baron Rothschild The Rome-based British Neoclassical sculptor John Deare created the relief of Edward and Eleanor in 1790, eight years before his death at 38. There are just 50 documented works from his short career—of classical and allegorical subjects or related to English history—and few of these are known today. This makes the work allocated to the V&A a great rarity, by one of the most accomplished and subtle stone carvers of his day. The relief shows Eleanor of Castile sucking poison from the wound of her husband Prince Edward (who succeeded as King Edward I in 1272), cloaking a scene from English medieval life in Neoclassical vein. Previously, only two other marble sculptures by Deare were in British public collections: Cupid and Psyche (1791), at the Bradford District Museums & Galleries, and Julius Caesar Invading Britain (1796), acquired by the V&A in 2011, where it is on display in the Hintze Gallery. There are plaster versions of the Edward and Eleanor composition in the collections of Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire, and at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. The work is of particular scholarly value to the V&A, as it predates the Julius Caesar Invading Britain relief. The museum also holds several albums of drawings by Deare, including a study believed to be preparatory for the figure of Eleanor. Edward and Eleanor will be the focus of a spotlight presentation at the V&A this month as part of an international conference at the museum on sculptural exchanges between Italy and Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. Tristram Hunt, Director of the V&A, said: “These remarkable acquisitions, made possible by the Acceptance in Lieu scheme, will forever represent Lord Rothschild’s legacy as a great connoisseur, champion of the arts and relentless supporter of British cultural institutions.” Meanwhile the reopening of the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery on 10 May, following its renovation and reordering by the architect Annabelle Selldorf, will serve as a reminder of the pivotal role Rothschild played. As chairman of trustees he worked with the brothers John, Simon and Timothy Sainsbury to provide the London museum with an important new extension in 1991. The wing, again with substantial financial backing from the Sainsbury family, will remain home to the gallery's remarkable collection of early European art, and will be established as the gallery's permanent entrance, remodelled to provide a newly welcoming entrance, in line with Jacob Rothschild's core belief that art should be open to all. the Heritage Lottery Fund and Waddesdon Manor news30

1990From the archive | Jacob Rothschild restores Spencer House, the Princess of Wales’s family house in LondonSome of the house's 18th-century furniture has been lent back by the Victoria & Albert Museum but other pieces and paintings integral ot its design have left Britain for good Professor Rachel Rothschild played a key role in developing a newly unveiled framework for regulating chemicals particularly in marginalized communities Rothschild—who has a strong practical and academic background in environmental regulation—was part of an interdisciplinary team based at the University of California-San Francisco that developed the framework The project is “a step-by-step guide to how to think about these issues throughout the process of deciding whether to control a toxic chemical,” she explained.  the scientific analyses and the cost-benefit analyses of toxic chemical controls have been pretty limited,” Rothschild said and representatives of environmental justice groups came together to propose a better framework for how the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or a state legislature can decide if a toxic chemical is harmful and worth regulating.” She recently answered five questions about the framework, which was just formally announced and published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology: some communities have been disproportionately exposed to toxic chemicals because of structural barriers to equitable treatment in a decision about where to site a toxic waste dump those communities’ wishes are not fully taken into account Or the residents work in jobs where they may have disproportionate exposure to toxic chemicals.  the EPA usually only quantifies and monetizes cancer harms They’re not trying to quantify the benefits of reductions in birth defects or reductions in heart problems or reductions in autoimmune diseases—all sorts of health effects that can result from toxic chemical exposures So this combination of historic discrimination and a lack of community engagement has left many people disproportionately exposed to toxic chemicals.  Probably the best example is a place called Cancer Alley in Louisiana where you have a lot of major chemical facilities and it’s a historically Black community where there’s a legacy of racial discrimination Those communities have much higher rates of cancer and other health harms than the general population.  You just have to look to Flint to see some of this here in our own state.  to try to provide a useful framework for better quantifying and monetizing these harms to try to better articulate how environmental justice concerns should be taken into account in the regulatory process.  the EPA has to consider the costs and benefits of regulations before it can issue them This paper is hoping to contribute by making sure that these other really important benefits of regulations are taken into account in that process by better quantifying them and then also reframing how we think about environmental justice concerns.  We put it this way: For the regulation of a certain chemical the cost might outweigh the overall benefit to society But if you focus on the particular community that’s going to be exposed This framework is trying to focus the agency’s attention on not just overall society but also on individual communities we haven’t had very strong action coming from the federal government The hope when we started doing this over the last few years was that we would have an administration coming in at the federal level that would take this seriously and implement it in EPA regulations.  I don’t think that’s going to happen in the Trump administration.  the publication is a bit bittersweet because I think we will probably not see progress on this front at least while we have the current administration in office this will be a really valuable resource States have recently been at the forefront of trying to protect their citizens against toxic chemicals and federal law leaves some opportunity for that As long as the federal government hasn’t made a decision that a certain chemical is not dangerous states are free to move forward with controls.  For example, many states have been very concerned about a class of chemicals called PFAS and have been moving forward on this ahead of the EPA This framework could give some guidance to them about how to think about what types of regulations to put in place some of the organizations that we work with will be able to take this framework and advocate for it Giving those community groups this tool is really helpful Rather than saying simply that they want their input taken into account now they can show exactly how to do it There has not been as much attention to the risks from toxic chemicals as there has been to other prominent environmental issues having a focus on toxics is a very recent thing.  This is an area where so much good could be done but there’s a need for resources and public attention So one thing that somebody who cares about this could do is simply talk to their representatives to let them know this is something they care about Tell the people in power that this matters to them and their family and their community because it has been a very under-recognized area of environmental harm Having more attention to it among the general population would be so valuable Sophie

Tap to enable a layout that focuses on the article Print The L.A County medical examiner’s office said William de Rothschild’s death in November was an accident.Neighbors previously told The Times that the man said he was a member of the Rothschild banking family but his brother refuted that claim.De Rothschild’s body was found after his Laurel Canyon house was badly burned in a fire The death of William de Rothschild — the Laurel Canyon man who neighbors said claimed to be a member of the prominent Rothschild banking family — was an accident with heart disease and smoke inhalation as contributing factors De Rothschild, 87, was found dead at his fire-damaged Laurel Canyon home after the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a blaze at the Lookout Mountain Avenue residence Nov Neighbors said the classic-car-collecting man had told them he was a Rothschild, a member of the prominent European family whose collective fortune is worth billions of dollars. But De Rothschild did not appear in the official genealogy maintained in the family’s archive and other details of his life that were shared by acquaintances could not be verified A 1955 yearbook photo of William Kauffman, known as William de Rothschild. (North Salem [Ore.] High School) The Times reported in December that De Rothschild was born William Alfred Kauffman and adopted the famous surname in 1985 according to a name-change petition he filed with Los Angeles County Superior Court The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s website said De Rothschild’s death was an accident caused by “hypertensive cardiovascular disease,” commonly known as heart disease It also listed “inhalation of products of combustion” — an apparent reference to the fire that tore through his home — as a secondary issue A spokesperson for the medical examiner said Rothschild was “positively identified by DNA” on Jan California A man found dead after a fire at his Los Angeles home was said to have been part of the Rothschild banking family, but The Times has found no evidence supporting the claim. The Rothschilds, a sprawling Jewish family originally from Frankfurt, Germany, long dominated European banking, with its English and French branches playing major roles in finance and politics, most notably during the 18th and 19th centuries. At one point, the Rothschilds were widely considered to have amassed the largest private fortune on Earth. Today, the family is spread across the globe and maintains interests in financial services, energy, real estate and other sectors, while several of its prominent members have become high society and philanthropic fixtures in London, Paris and elsewhere. Oregon resident Richard Kauffman reiterated that his late brother was not a Rothschild, telling The Times on Monday, “I am 100% sure my brother was a Kauffman and not a Rothschild.” Until December, when he was contacted by a Times reporter about De Rothschild’s death, Kauffman had thought that his brother died decades ago. At the time, Kauffman — who noted that he and his kin were not Jewish — said his brother had “disappeared” from their home state of Oregon in the 1960s or ‘70s. The elderly man’s body was discovered after his home on Lookout Mountain Avenue burned Wednesday afternoon “I had no communication with my brother,” Kauffman said “I was glad to know he actually did [live] a long life It would be nice if the fire was not the cause of death I would not want anyone to experience death by fire.” Public records show that Margaux Mirkin married De Rothschild in Nevada in 1999. Mirkin, a daughter of the late Morris Mirkin, founder of Budget Rent a Car A covered vehicle sits outside the fire-damaged home of William de Rothschild Neighbors say he had a major car collection (Gina Ferazzi/Los Angeles Times) There have been a few notable Rothschild impostors over the years who posed as Anna de Rothschild while visiting President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in 2021 Kauffman said he would remember De Rothschild as an artist. He said his brother had been a gifted painter and sculptor as a boy growing up in Salem, Ore. “The artist part of him was the line that went through his whole life when I knew him,” Kauffman said. “He worked on that constantly. That was his passion.” Daniel Miller is an enterprise reporter for the Los Angeles Times, working on investigations and features. An L.A. native and UCLA graduate, he joined the staff in 2013.

A name that evokes dazzling wealth, sublime power, marbled hallways, fine wine and high finance. A dynastic thread, strung with grand houses and gilded lifestyles. A bank whose backing has been sought by sovereigns and statesmen, whose decisions could move markets, and whose prominence has endured two centuries of breakneck historical change. The Rothschilds’ opulence and influence has become the stuff of legend, not to mention countless sinister conspiracy theories. The Duke of York's daughter posted the image alongside a number of other snaps as she marked Mother’s Day photographed at the FT Weekend Oxford Literary Festival on April 9 The story is more complex than it seems at first glance The Rothschilds’ grand houses and collections easily mistaken as proof of immemorial wealth were in fact gathered hurriedly in the mid-19th century by a newly affluent banking family seeking to fit in among an aristocracy that looked down on them as Jewish The Rothschilds were the nouveaux riches of their day a family who’d burst out of the bleak and oppressive Frankfurt ghetto determined to reinvent themselves they looked around them to learn how dynasties were most effectively forged The author and filmmaker Hannah Rothschild has compared her ancestors’ approach to that of modern oligarchs and sheikhs: ‘They tend to emulate who they think is spending money well.’ and latter-day Rothschilds are more at ease doing things their own way Nowhere is that truer than among the family’s women The current cohort includes socialites such as Nicky Hilton Rothschild as much as literary scholars and economists With that decree, Mayer Amschel had preemptively consigned his female descendants to the footnotes of the family’s history. It left me full of questions. What had the Rothschild women done in response to that exclusion? Had they challenged it, evaded it, resigned themselves to it? What kind of lives and experiences had been lost from the historical record? These women were in the room, and yet they went unseen. To discover their voices, I read Hannah Rothschild’s biography of her great-aunt Nica and Miriam Rothschild’s essay on family lore for the Frankfurt Jewish Museum. I dug up old newspaper columns and memoirs, sparkling letters, short stories and painfully honest private journals. ‘We Rothschilds are inveterate scribblers,’ wrote one. And nobody who has been through the family’s papers would disagree.

celebrated financiers has been accused of exploiting his position at the storied bank to abuse women who worked with him come from several women who said they felt unable to raise their concerns while he was still alive because of his position within the bank and the British establishment They spoke to the Guardian on condition of anonymity Among the allegations are that he seriously sexually assaulted and harassed several women in the mid and late 1990s when they worked for NM Rothschild De Rothschild had a reputation for being autocratic and feared with one source describing him as “totalitarian” He was a financial adviser to the late Queen Elizabeth their claims are likely to raise questions about the working culture experienced by women within the Rothschild banking empire which comprises a complex range of wealth advisory and investment banking services was chair of NM Rothschild for more than 20 years and also served on the boards of the Economist and the parent company of the Daily Telegraph A scion of one of the most famous dynasties in global banking he spent 44 years working within Rothschild family businesses According to sources who spoke to the Guardian a stone’s throw from the Bank of England in the City of London to force himself upon women over several years described incidents dating from the mid and late 1990s multiple sources claimed that this kind of misconduct by De Rothschild went unchecked for decades Sources alleged that he would “take his pick” of junior staff at the bank and shower them with attention before behaving inappropriately towards them Their accounts described incidents in the financial group’s old London offices partly now demolished and rebuilt on St Swithin’s Lane the site first occupied by the bank in 1809 The claims include serious sexual assaults One included a violent assault of a member of staff when she was a young woman working for him Another allegation is that he put his hands down a different woman’s top and under her underwear to grope her And a third woman claimed she was forced to perform a sex act on him while he sat on his desk The Guardian also asked about the bank’s current and historical approach to complaints about sexual and other non-financial misconduct The claims against Evelyn de Rothschild are likely to raise questions about the working culture experienced by women within the Rothschild banking empire the banking group said: “We deal with any complaint quickly and decisively We prize the culture we have developed over the years and there is no place for such behaviour in our culture.” They added: “If any inappropriate behaviour is alleged we seek to establish exactly what has happened Whilst a formal complaint may not always be made we investigate allegations of behaviour that falls below our standards.” Sources claimed De Rothschild would encourage women to think he could help with their careers presenting himself as a potential sponsor or advocate in financial services He would then request that they attend in his office on the pretence of a task or work-related conversation before harassing or assaulting them If they expressed concerns about his actions to other members of staff they would have their employment terminated if they agreed to keep his activities confidential “He would ask questions aimed at finding out if you were well connected then I think you were more likely to be regarded as fair game,” one woman claimed Free daily newsletterGet set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning A different source alleged: “It was his kingdom and he enjoyed a sort of absolute rule people knew about payouts and saw staff who all looked the same being churned through.” Rothschild is one of the City of London’s most renowned institutions and is among the most storied European banking institutions with origins tracing back to 15th-century Frankfurt The Rothschild family remains entwined with the institution As well as being a financial adviser to Queen Elizabeth II De Rothschild also founded a charity with Mark Shand the late brother of the current queen and was frequently pictured in conversation with King Charles when he was the Prince of Wales He shared a passion for horse racing with the royal family and was chair of United Racehorses which owned race courses at Sandown and Epsom A range of high-profile figures attended his funeral and his eulogy was delivered by Bill Clinton which combines an array of financial services including investment banking and wealth management was at the heart of the UK’s privatisation wave in the 1980s was founded in 1809 by Nathan Mayer Rothschild Such was the sharp rise of its merchant banking activities that by 1826 it effectively saved the UK’s central bank with a loan of gold NM Rothschild & Sons later merged with another arm of the family’s European banking empire the company rebranded from NM Rothschild & Sons to Rothschild & Co the parent company of the Rothschild Group also changed its name to Rothschild & Co The claims against De Rothschild come against a backdrop of historical complaints against men who held positions of power notably the former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed a number of women have come forward to make allegations against Fayed with incidents dating back to the mid-1970s Rothschild & Co investigated complaint against the late financier in 2003 and he left shortly afterwards The financier Sir Evelyn de Rothschild left the bank that bears his family name in 2004 after an investigation into a sexual misconduct complaint Staff at Rothschild & Co were told on Wednesday that the late banker who was a financial adviser to Queen Elizabeth II left in March 2004 after the complaint in late 2003 The Guardian revealed on Tuesday that several women had accused De Rothschild, who died aged 91 two years ago, of exploiting his position at the bank to abuse them while they worked with him Prior to publication of the Guardian’s story the banking and financial services group that succeeded NM Rothschild repeatedly refused to answer whether there was information related to misconduct by De Rothschild of any kind They were also asked specific questions about the alleged events in the 1990s They stated that an “initial review of their records for the periods up to ‘the late 1990s’ has revealed nothing” but also said they did not have enough information to investigate further staff at the investment bank were sent an email that confirmed De Rothschild had been subject of a complaint about sexual misconduct in late 2003 The email was first reported by the Daily Telegraph “Some of you may be aware of an article that was published by the Guardian yesterday,” staff were told “We are naturally appalled by any allegation of conduct that is so at odds with the culture we strive to foster within the group No colleague should be subjected to inappropriate sexual behaviour the Guardian contacted us requesting information on some unspecific claims from the 1990s We repeatedly tried to engage with them to establish the facts “Despite the difficulties in investigating claims which are alleged to have taken place almost 30 years ago we made extensive inquiries and conducted a thorough search of our internal records and found nothing that would support the allegations from this period “We discovered a single complaint of sexual misconduct in late 2003 with full support for the colleague concerned and led to Sir Evelyn de Rothschild leaving the group in March 2004 “We have found no record of any other complaint relating to Sir Evelyn We do not tolerate and will never tolerate behaviour of this nature at the company We work hard to create an environment in which all can thrive and we encourage the highest standards of professionalism.” De Rothschild was chair of NM Rothschild for more than 20 years and

This year’s chosen artist, Gérard Garouste. Photo: © Bertrand Huet / Tutti Garouste takes a keen interest in the roots of Western culture, the legacy of the Old Masters and the myths that are the springboard for his work. His paintings teem with sometimes fantastical animals and distorted human figures, drawing on sources that range from the Old Testament to popular culture and literary greats such as Cervantes and Rabelais. The most recent of many collaborations between the vineyard and artists — a tradition that stretches back to 1924 — Garouste’s label for the 2022 vintage, Hommage au Baron Philippe (‘Tribute to Baron Philippe’), commemorates the centenary of Baron Philippe de Rothschild being entrusted with the running of his family’s wine estate in Médoc at the age of 20. ‘Baron Philippe was a man of great elegance, very hard-working, and he had the look of someone very sure of himself, with a mischievous side,’ says Garouste. ‘That is what I have tried to capture in the way I have portrayed him.’ Château Mouton Rothschild 2022: Unique Lot and Experience The lot comprises a unique assortment of formats of Château Mouton Rothschild 2022: six bottles a double-magnum whose label will be signed by the artist and the members of the owning family and the only nebuchadnezzar available to date Sold for €106,250 on 11 December 2024 at Christie’s Online Carlu responded with a fittingly modern illustration It featured a dynamic Cubist ram and a quiver of arrows — part of the Rothschild family’s insignia were the words ‘Ce vin a été mis en bouteille au château’ indicating that the wine had been made and bottled by the producer This pioneering label is one of the earliest examples of an artist being commissioned to work with a prestigious company Château Mouton Rothschild’s monumental cuvier where the vinification of the wine takes place accompanied by the year and the words ‘année de la victoire’ underlining the commission’s prestige features the ‘V’ for victory to mark the end of hostilities in Europe Jeff Koons turned to the classical world for inspiration reinterpreting a Pompeian fresco of the birth of Venus According to Triptree, however, the ultimate prize among collectors is a complete ‘vertical’ — featuring a bottle from every vintage of the last century. ‘Someone I know in London built a huge wooden and glass display cabinet to show off theirs,’ says the specialist. ‘I’ve known others to frame prints of their favourite labels and hang them on their walls.’ Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s radical decision to bottle the entire vintage on site led to the creation of Château Mouton Rothschild’s Great Barrel Hall in 1926. The building is 100 metres long and can hold up to 1,000 casks.

Every artist is given free rein to create what they wish, although, according to the château, themes of ‘the vine, the wine and the ram have proved a particularly rich source of inspiration’. Indeed, the ram and the vine both appear in Gérard Garouste’s label design. ‘I find it fascinating that Baron Philippe chose the ram’s head as a symbol, as it features in both Greek and biblical mythology,’ he says. ‘I also included the fruit of the vine, and all the symbolism of a wonderful wine that was his life’s work.’ Château Mouton Rothschild 2020.
