Sarah Churchill: Duchess of Marlborough: The Queen`s Favourite

2003 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book Description A brilliant new biographer presents an unforgettable portrait of Sarah Churchill, first Duchess of Marlborough (1660-1744), the glamorous and controversial founder of the Spencer-Churchill dynasty that produced both Winston Churchilland Lady Diana Spencer. Tied to Queen Anne by an intimate friendship, Sarah hoped to wield power equal to that of a government minister. When their relationship soured, she blackmailed Anne with letters revealing their intimacy, and accused her of perverting the course of national affairs by keeping lesbian favourites. Her spectacular arguments with the Queen, with the architects and workmen at Blenheim Palace, and with her own family made Sarah famous for her temper. Attacked for traits that might have been applauded in a man, Sarah was also capable of inspiring intense love and loyalty, deeply committed to her principles and to living what she believed to be a virtuous life. Sarah was a compulsive and compelling [detailed...]

Sarah Lucas: Exhibitions and Catalogue Raisonne 1989-2005

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: GOD IS DAD. That was the title of Sarah Lucas`s last show in New York, in which the pun-prone artist assembled an array of sculptures constructed from cast concrete forms, tacky beige nylon stockings, and random metal objects. These typically abject art pieces fit right into the body of work Lucas has been building since the early 1990s from apparently banal, everyday materials. Old, worn furniture, clothing, food, newspapers, cigarettes, cars, resin, plaster, neon lamps, and light fixtures combine to form grungy assemblages whose appearance belies the serious and complex subject matter they address. Through the slyly anthropomorphic character of her sculptures, Lucas makes constant reference to the human body, questioning gender definitions and challenging male-dominated culture, especially that espoused by the sensationalist British press. She subverts sexual stereotypes in her appropriations of the tabloid vernacular and by making unexpected juxtapositions of objects, often [detailed...]

Sarasota was a place in which innovation and experimentation were the order of the day, a place where an architect might run into the local watering hole to shout: `I just invented the sliding glass door.` Such was the confluence of art and architecture that laid the groundwork for the Sarasota School of Architecture, so named after the fact by architect Gene Leedy at an American Institute of Architecture (AIA) conference in the 1980s to refer to the unique architecture of this region, an architecture that is wonderfully responsive to Sarasota`s sub-tropical environment and which [detailed...]

Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionThe Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was signed into law on July 30, 2002. Although vastly complex, the legislation has a fairly simple aim, namely, to reform a number of business and accounting practices that significantly distorted the economic performance of Enron and WorldCom to the detriment of their investors. Corporate America is now spending millions of dollars complying with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley. The prevention of consumer confusion as to either source of origin or sponsorship has historically been viewed as trademarks` primary raison d`etre. However, trademarks afford their owners far more than just the legal right stop newcomers from using similar marks in ways that are likely to cause confusion. Competitors constantly challenge customer loyalty and trademarks are often the only way to effectively meet this challenge. No longer seen simply as a legal right to exclude newcomers, trademarks are increasingly viewed as valuable intangible [detailed...]
