...owes much to Matter.In the final room of the show, the controversial paintings themselves are relatively small. Falling in what is described as “the inner realm” of size for Pollock paintings, most are not much larger than a piece of 8.5x11-inch printer paper—a factor that has, itself, played a role in the dispute.In fact, in the catalogue, one essay is dedicated specifically to the issue of the size of the paintings in relation to the likelihood of their authenticity. Designated “Jackson experimental” on the wrapper...
...professor of art history at Berlin's Humboldt University and author of a new book entitled Galilei der Künstler (Galileo the Artist), says we can. He and other experts in Germany and Italy have concluded that five watercolor sketches of a mustard-colored moon drawn in a printer's proof of Sidereus Nuncius are by Galileo's own hand. The first printing of the legendary treatise included copper engravings of the moon believed to be based on different (now lost) Galileo sketches. But the copy studied by Bredekamp, which was recently unveiled in the city of Padua, Italy...
...study, Lidia Morawska, a physicist at the Queensland Institute of Technology, and her colleagues analyzed printer emissions in a large open-plan office environment. The good news was that 60% of the printers they tested, including eight HP LaserJet 4050 models, four Ricoh Aficio models and one Toshiba Studio, did not emit any particles. But of the 40% that did, many, such as the HP LaserJet 1320 and 4250 models, were classified as "high-level emitters." Emissions, researchers found, were printer-specific and fluctuated depending on the age of the toner cartridge and the amount of toner a document required...
...says, in a statement, that it disagrees with the conclusion of the study and with some of its stronger assertions - and believes there is no link between printer emissions and a public health risk. The study's authors concede that more research is needed before they can make any recommendations about the public's printer-related behavior. This study, says Charles Weschler, a chemist and indoor air pollution expert at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, is "very much a first...
...done any recent research on the health effects of printer emissions - Morawska's study is the most extensive to date - but Sharon Worthy of the U.S. Dept. of Labor says "historically laser printers have presented no known hazard in the workplace." But, according to the Washington-based nonprofit Environmental Working Group, which has conducted research on particulate pollution from automobiles, printers release the same type of fine particles that cars do. "What we need are standards up front so that the pollution we're subjected to don't pose health risks," says Jane Houlihan, the nonprofit's vice president...
