Items of particular Interest "First Photographs" Showing through 2003-02-16 International Center of Photography New York City, NY, USA One of the great innovators in the earliest years of photography's development was Englishman William Henry Fox Talbot who is credited with the invention of the calotype.  To make a calotype, the image on a negative is transferred onto chemically treated paper; creating a positive image.  Talbot's estate, Lacock Abbey near Bath, is a museum that houses his equipment and personal effects, and many of his photographs.  Opening at the International Center of Photography in New York City through February 16 and then at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, from March 30 to June 15.  First Photographs: William Henry Fox Talbot and the Birth of Photography.  The exhibition includes more than one hundred prints, negatives, and daguerreotypes.  An illustrated catalogue with essays by Michael Gray, Arthur Ollman, and Carol McCusker; may be obtained at: 800-288-2129. "Michelangelo drawing found in storage box" Showing through 2003-02-02 Chicago Art Institute Chicago, IL, USA A small miracle, a Michelangelo candelabra study was discovered by Italian Renaissance Scholar Sir Timothy Clifford, among the contents in a box of drawings featuring lighting designs at the Cooper-Hewitt in New York.  This find has received considerable publicity.  Lost Art is pleased to report that this find is included in the Chicago Art Institute exhibit: "The Medici, Michelangelo, and the Art of Late Renaissance Florence" until February 2. The drawing is small, faintly drawn, and easy to miss.  It is on the right as you enter the gallery dedicated to Michelangelo's work.  Drink it in as you can in the available light.  The entire exhibit is highly instructive.
