BELLAGIO HOTEL BACKS OUT OF ITS LATEST BET ON ART

BRITISH MUSEUM IN CRISIS: CUTS NEEDED TO STAVE OFF A SECOND £3 MILLION DEFICIT
LONDON. The British Museum (BM) is facing its most serious financial crisis in years. Fierce spending cuts are now being introduced to stave off a severe deficit. The museum’s deficit last year was just over £3 million and there would have been a similar deficit this year, unless drastic action had been taken. The cuts will lead to shorter opening hours, a rota of closed galleries, cancellation of exhibitions, reduced building maintenance, a reduction of education programmes, a freeze on most new posts, and the requirement for foreign borrowing institutions to meet the full costs of loans, including curatorial time. http://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/article.asp?idart=7911
TATE BRITAIN: SUGAR BARON’S DREAM COMES TRUE
LONDON. British painting will finally be displayed in its full glory in London with the opening of the Centenary Development at Tate Britain on 1 November. This major internal expansion provides additional galleries in the north-west quadrant of the museum, as well as a new entrance in Atterbury Street. Display space has now been increased by 35% with the extra galleries and last year’s removal of modern international art to Tate Modern. http://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/article.asp?idart=7910
YUGOSLAV GENERAL SURRENDERS TO HAGUE TRIBUNAL
LONDON. General Pavle Strugar, 68, has surrendered to the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague. General Strugar is one of four former Yugoslav officers accused of shelling the city of Dubrovnik between October and December 1991 by the International Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (TPIY). http://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/article.asp?idart=7873
ITALIAN MINISTER TAKES POT SHOT AT CONTEMPORARY ART
ROME. Vittorio Sgarbi, Italy’s headline-grabbing Under Secretary of State, has caused another rumpus by criticising Yannis Kounellis and other “over-rated” contemporary artists. He is alleged to have described their work as “escrementizia” (excrementitious), banal and an excuse for art. http://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/article.asp?idart=7872
FIRST PHASE OF MORI ARTS CENTER OPENS
TOKYO. Tokyo's art world descended on the entertainment district of Roppongi for the champagne- fuelled launch of the city's newest art space, the "New Tokyo Life Style Roppongi Think Zone". The space, which will fortunately be known by the more concise title of "Zone", is part of the pre-opening phase of the ambitious Mori Arts Center which will open in autumn 2003 in Roppongi Hills, a 2.5 billion dollar multi-purpose development currently under construction on an adjacent site. http://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/article.asp?idart=7871
ITALIAN ART SALE REPORT: PRIVATE BUYERS TO THE FORE
LONDON. Traumatised by the international situation and the recent air crash in Milan, Italians have been chary of travelling by plane, with the result that fewer of them made the trip to Sotheby’s and Christie’s sales of Italian art this month. http://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/article.asp?idart=7870
