Nowhere does this folk wisdom seem truer than in the field of master drawings. The springs have certainly dwindled. Fifty years ago, the appearance on the auction block of a sheet by one of the great father figures of 15th and 16th century drawing-Dürer, Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo-was not uncommon. Today one would hardly be more surprised if a live dodo waddled into the Parke-Bernet auction room. Drawings also are not a young man's hobby; they demand a degree of patient connoisseurship (tinged with philatelic mania) that only the old usually have. But late...
...northern Europe. Among the drawings- which, at the time of Lehman's death, was one of the greatest collections in private hands in the world - are such rarities as two highly finished studies by Rogier van der Weyden, a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci and Dürer's famous self-portrait...

This could crimp economic growth and diminish tax revenues, along with many of the public services that they provide...
...school of young composers flourishing there. Here, at last, is convincing recorded documentation, performed by the London Symphony and Conductor Igor Buketoff. Vladimir Sommer's Vocal Symphony and Jan Klusak's First Invention are impressive enough, but the real "find" here is 15 Prints After Dürer's "Apocalypse" by 35-year-old Lubos Fišer (pronounced Fisher). Read musical episodes for prints, and you have a work that does not so much interpret Dürer, as reflect the austere purity of his graphic...
