Experts Predict Art Market Trends, Part 4: Tim Blum, Philippe Segalot, Sanford L. Smith, Marc Spiegler. This is the fourth of a four-part series from Art+Auction magazine in which key art-market players weigh in on the future of the field. Over the past few years, the attention L.A. receives has been steadily increasing. But in the last three to five months we’ve seen a lot more people.

Groups on Pacific Standard Time tours aren’t just visiting museums; they’re seeing the galleries, too. Pacific Standard Time was a vital thing to have happen because it was so content-oriented as opposed to personality-based.

Two of the skeletons were of people born outside Britain -- one of a man linked genealogically to eastern Europe and the Near East, the other of a teenage girl with blue eyes from north Africa.

The injuries to the man's skull suggest that he may have been killed in the city's amphitheatre before his head was dumped into an open pit. Both the man and the girl were suffering from periodontal disease, a type of gum disease. Art prices, art appraisal - Search free.
