...additional works of art now in German museums whose origins are being questioned. That means many of those could potentially be lost to private collectors, as has already happened with some of the works handed over by the Germans and Austrians. In a statement, Germany's Culture Minster Bernd Neumann called for more "transparency" in the restitution process, which, according to museum directors, has become "flagrantly commercialized...
...Those who prefer Schmid’s nuanced earlier films to one-trick outings like “Reqiuem” should take heart. In his latest project, “Sturm,” Schmid turns to “Requiem” screenwriter Bernd Lange for a taut political thriller. In an interview with Austrian film website SkipWebWorld, Schmid said that the film focuses on a young Croatian woman who recognizes an unpunished war criminal, and a lawyer who helps to bring him to justice at the International Criminal Tribunal in the Hague.

The turnover reflects upheaval in the industry worldwide as firms not only jostle to take advantage of new markets in Asia and elsewhere, but also struggle with unrelenting cost pressures at home.

Then there's a less human option: DumpMonkey.com For $24.95, the dumpee gets a 16-in. stuffed monkey...
...Tokyo's National Museum of Modern Art (momat.go.jp), this sweeping exhibition comprises work shot over 40 years by a remarkably diverse group of photographers. One common theme is Germany's sudden rise (and subsequent decline) as an industrial power; look out for the grim, 1960s factory pictures by Bernd and Hilla Becher (the oldest work on show) or the disturbing aridity of Hans Christian Schink's images of an empty autobahn (among the newest photographs displayed). Even when the subject matter isn't German?as in Andreas Gursky's vast photographs of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?there is often...
