| Summary: | 16 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT September 17, 1999 Museum hosts Exhibit by German artist Mario Reis The exhibit "Mario Reis, Nature Watercolors" is currently on exhibit at the Plains Art Museum in Fargo. The exhibit occupies the main floor atrium as well as the K r a n z l e r - K i n g s l e y Communications, Ltd. Gallery and the DeWayne (Slice) and Christa Hiney Lesmeister Gallery of the museum. The exhibition is concerned with the phenomenon of water in flux, to understand and show the real essence and manifestation of the element "water" as part of nature and to find a contemporary way of representation. The repre-sentation becomes a translation of landscape to art; from landscape to abstraction. The idea for "Nature Watercolors" was conceived by Reis in Paris, France in 1977. Since that time, Reis has realized Nature Watercolors projects throughout Europe, Africa, Japan and Iceland. His most recent major project was the North American conti-nent. The project took him through all 50 states and provinces of Canada and Mexico. The Plains Art Museum is located at 704 First Avenue North in Fargo. For more information, call 232-3821.

Over 200 stolen ancient Greek art treasures turn up in Florida 9/14 ATHENS, Greece (AP) More than 200 priceless ancient objects stolen from a Corinth museum nine years ago were found in a Florida storage area by the FBI and Greek authorities in one of Greece's biggest antiqui-ties busts, the culture minister said Tuesday. vvIt was one of the biggest, if not the biggest antiquities thefts," said Culture Minister Elisavet Papazoi. "We are happy that they were found in good condition, and they will soon be back in Greece." Acting on a tip-off last week, authorities discovered all but three of the 271 objects that were stolen. They were wrapped in plastic and masking tape and hidden in fish crates in a storage area in Miami, said Athens Police Chief Pavlos Roubis. He would not give any details of the exact location or provide further details of the bust. No arrests have so far been made. The antiquities were confiscat-ed and transported to FBI offices in New York and should be returned to Greece within the next two months, Papazoi said. An investigation into the theft is con-tinuing both in the U.S. and Greece. Archaeologists on Monday identified the antiquities as those stolen in April 1990 from the Archaeology Museum in Corinth, 52 miles southwest of Athens. At the time, police said at least four people broke into the build-ing, tied up the guard, cleaned out most of the museum's displays, loaded the objects onto trucks and disappeared. "It was like moving a whole museum," Papazoi said of the rob-bery. The museum has since been fitted with an alarm system. In 1997, the Greek culture ministry received information that the stolen artifacts had been trans-ported to the United States. At least one of the objects made it to the commercial market, archaeol-ogists identified a small vessel. known as a skyphos, for sale in an international catalogue. The stolen antiquities include such rare pieces as a fifth century B.C. marble head of a young man known as a Kouros; a small mar-ble statue of Pan, the pastoral god of fertility; and 13 marble sculpt-ed heads dating back to the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The haul included an Archaic period relief of two women with outstretched arms, and a statue of Aphrodite and Eros, both dating from between 600 and 479 B.C. There were also 164 varied pouring vessels, urns and wine jugs, lekythoi, aryballoi and oinochoi, most from the Corinth area and dating back to different periods. But a marble bust of Julius Caesar, thought to have been carved after his death in 44 B.C., was not found with the cache, while a carved marble head of Eros and another of the Ptolemaic god Serapis, all dating from the Roman period, were also missing. s rRATEGIC FLI nO (Nationally Recognized Fundraiser) HIRING BONUS Ramping Up for Election Year! -Rexible Shifts -Paid Training for 60+Days of Employment Fantastic Opportunity!
