The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit introduced 148 lots complete with 2,000 items that include diamond-encrusted earrings, watches, bracelets, chains and other luxurious accessories that were seized during raids in years past. The auction, which opened July 15 and runs until July 25, is being held at Los Pinos, the former presidential palace in Mexico City that has been turned into a museum and cultural venue ever since leftist president Andrés Manuel López Obrador entered office in 2018.  The Mexican government introduced 148 lots with 2,000 luxurious items that diamond-encrusted earrings, watches, bracelets, chains and rings. A men's Piaget watch (pictured) is valued at $155,000  Luxurious goods seized from cartel members in Mexico are being auctioned in Mexico City with the proceeds to be donated to poor communities in the state of Michoacán. This men's Jacob & Co. watch (pictured) is worth $62,000  The third most expensive item being auctioned by the Institute to Return Stolen Goods to the People is a women's set that includes platinum earrings, a choker and bracelet starting at $49,000 The luxury goods are being auctioned to raise money for poor communities in the state of Michoacán. The government is looking to raise as much as $2 million. The most expensive piece listed is a men's Piaget watch, valued at $155,000. The 18 karat, white gold timepiece features 49 baguette cut diamonds on the dial and bezel and another 18 on the side of the bezel. It also has an additional 160 baguette cut diamonds on the pulse.

A Ford Shelby, that once belonged to a close ally of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, was purchased for $99,745. A Lamborghini Murcielago fetched $93,000 in the auction. In June, the Mexican government held an auction on to sell off properties seized from notorious cartel leaders and drug traffickers, and raised $2.6 million. A luxury home located in Metepec, Mexico State, was the highest selling at $1.098 million after it originally posted for $1.152 million. Another mansion in the Pacific coast state of Colima was listed at $90,000 and sold for $137,000. Mexico is also in the midst of seeing how it can recoup all of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán's fortune that has been valued at $14 billion by the United States government. Last Thursday, López Obrador argued that the funds should be returned to El Chapo's home country of Mexico. He also demanded that the US return the assets they had already seized from the gang leader.  A mansion in Metepec, Mexico State, was the highest selling at $1.098 million after it originally posted for $1.152 million in June  Looking for a new owner: People look inside a 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago which was auctioned off in May for $93,000  The least expensive item being auctioned is a women's Gucci watch listed at $535 |

SMILE! – Music by Marvin Hamlisch & Lyrics by Howard Ashman - Connelly Theater Teen performers 13-18 working in theater or pursuing careers in musical theater. They come from Broadway, Hollywood, West End, LaGuardia, Performing Arts High School...(Ben Platt was a member of KT before "Dear Evan Hansen"). SMILE! which features music by Marvin Hamlisch and book and lyrics by Howard Ashman, is "a satirical portrait that follows the intrigue and exploits onstage and behind-the-scenes as Santa Rosa, California plays host to the Young American Miss Pageant." Songs from the Hamlisch-Ashman score include "Disneyland," "Smile," "In Our Hands," "Very Best Week of Your Lives" and "Dear Mom." Smile is rarely performed. It opened Nov. 24, 1986, at Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. It played 48 performances. Marvin Hamlisch was so devastated, the show was never performed again until after his passing. From the NYTimes review in 1986: The endearing passion to be found in ''Smile,'' has little to do with beauty pageants, nubile teen-age girls, corrupted American values or any other subject that the show keeps claiming to be about. What clearly drives Howard Ashman, the author of the book and lyrics, and Marvin Hamlisch, the composer, is their deep affection ...

Embedded with O'Rourke for the final twelve months of his campaign, Running with Beto follows the rising star's journey in real time through intimate access with the candidate, his family, and a team of political newcomers who champion a new way of getting to know a candidate — one Texas county at a time. Modigliani reveals the challenges and triumphs of an unconventional campaign as Beto navigates an onslaught of negative advertising, inevitable strain on his family, and the pressure of delivering for legions of supporters. This film is creatively and financially independent from Beto O'Rourke and his campaign. An HBO Documentary Films release.

What: Christine Meehan-Berg is releasing her debut stand-up album, Bumped on May 29, 2019 via You Lucky Dog Productions. Bumped is the sound of a very funny, very pregnant woman doing comedy with the sort of determination and sense of purpose one might anticipate from someone performing live while nine months pregnant - these are jokes that couldn't wait! While this comedy will resonate with moms everywhere, it truly has universal appeal as Meehan-Berg speaks hilarious truth about sex, relationships, marriage, and of course having kids. They say children remind you of what's important, which is to laugh at them!

Mitch released his second record, 'But Beautiful' on his daughter's Lioness label, three years after her tragic death, this time in aid of the Amy Winehouse Foundation.

Jazz raconteur Danny Barker was born in New Orleans in 1909, but he spent most of his career here in New York, playing with Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, and countless others. When he finally returned home as a local legend, he gave the world a gift that you will see on stage tonight.

An elite group of those musicians now reunites in The Appel Room for a soulful tribute to their mentor. Music director Dr. Michael White is a virtuoso on clarinet—an essential voice in New Orleans jazz.

Jacob Varmus Trio - Jazz - Shrine Jacob Varmus left his hometown, San Francisco, in 1991 to go to the University of Iowa. Like many before him, he had high hopes of coming of age as a poet while cruising the vast American heartland. He saw language and experience as the tools to probe the deepest layers of the human psyche. In his first year he was admitted to the undergraduate writers' workshop where he studied with Jorie Graham. As he produced poems unremittingly and charted the labyrinthine maze of academic life as an English major, he also played trumpet devotedly, getting a good classical foundation with David Greenhoe.

(read more) Hiroshi Wada: The First New York Solo Exhibition - Agora Gallery Japanese artist Hiroshi Wada is a calligraphy painter. Wada studied the ancient tradition of "shodo"—brush and ink drawing on rice paper— with a great master of this art form. While his art retains the spontaneity and playfulness of a child's drawing, in fact it takes years of apprenticeship to achieve their effortless look. Wada's aim, however, is not the traditional "sho." The artist believes in the importance of modernizing this conventional practice. He aspires to create calligraphy that is modern, even avant-garde, yet still rooted in tradition. When he writes characters, he forgets what he has learned and starts with a "clean slate", drawing like a child. For Wada, calligraphy is a way to bring joy and playfulness to others. Wada believes that while life's hurdles may range from personal failures to cataclysmic disasters, art has the capacity to empower, heal, and create peace. Wada's background as a track-and-field athlete reflects in the explosive energy and near-physical intensity to his gestural compositions. Hiroshi Wada: The First New York Solo Exhibition opens at May 11, 2019 and will be on display until May 31, 2019, with an opening reception on Thursday, May 1...

Kenny Garrett - Blue Note Over the course of a stellar career that has spanned more than 30 years, saxophonist Kenny Garrett has become the preeminent alto saxophonist of his generation. From his first gig with the Duke Ellington Orchestra (led by Mercer Ellington) through his time spent with musicians such as Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers and Miles Davis, Garrett has always brought a vigorous yet melodic, and truly distinctive, alto saxophone sound to each musical situation. As a bandleader for the last two decades, he has also continually grown as a composer. With his latest recording (and second for Mack Avenue Records), Seeds From The Underground, Garrett has given notice that these qualities have not only become more impressive, but have provided him with the platform to expand his horizons and communicate his musical vision clearly.

Oh, and it's not just our opinion, the movie was showered with more awards then we can count. But, the story just keeps getting better. After her incredible movie, Tina Fey didn't just stop there.

The oh-so-not-surprising answer is... yes! – Peter Marks, The Washington Post We sometimes feel that our childhood is coming to life with musicals. First, it was Bring it On, then Heathers with several others in development. But, the musical for Mean Girls is already here. The Mean Girls Musical is a masterpiece from the great Fey. It's based on her book and the movie of the same name. The musical was under construction since 2013.

Pretty BIG Movement, based in New York City, is a full-figured dance company specializing in various dance genres such as hip-hop, jazz, ethnic, and more. Founder and CEO Akira Armstrong realized there wasn't a platform for women with voluptuous curves in mainstream media, and so she created one. While auditioning for Full Figured Fashion Week, Akira found that she was surrounded by confident, plus-size women who were beautiful, curvaceous, and shared the same passion in dance. She seized that moment and started Pretty BIG Movement. By 2015, the voluptuous dance troupe performed in Ladies Of Hip-Hop, Carnival (choreographers' ball), Ms. Full Figured USA pageant, Female Hip-Hop Honors award show, Salt N Pepa, Lane Bryant campaigns ("I'm No Angel" and "Plus Is Equal"), Full Beauty commercial, Mz. 007 concert and NBC's America's Got Talent (season 10).

Zen A.M. - Theater for the New City Theater for the New City presents "Zen A.M." by Natalie Menna. Comedy of New Age manners and mores is set among the "worried creatives" of post-9/11 New York. Since classical times, artists have always had to reconcile the demands of their patrons with their own artistic integrity. In the 21st century, the patrons' demands can come from both the left and right. "Zen A.M." illustrates the artists' conundrum, nesting it in present-day issues of class identification, compassion, cultural identity and creative resistance. Andrew Block directs. The play is a story of laughable characters straining to act rationally when faced with difficult decisions of artistic integrity. Bruno, a 9/11 survivor, has abandoned his lucrative Wall Street career to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a painter. However, money is running out and his jealous, excitable yet pragmatic girlfriend--a fact-checker for a right wing media outlet--is set on getting married. Bruno's guru/artistic collaborator is a New Age life coach named Chang.

Cyrilla Mozenter: See Why - Lesley Heller Gallery Lesley Heller Gallery is pleased to present, See Why, an exhibition of new work by Cyrilla Mozenter. A follow-up to her previous exhibition with the gallery—the failed utopian (2015)—See Why continues Mozenter's focus on wool felt sculptures, large scale wall-hanging felt works, and delicate framed works on paper. The artworks further explore Mozenter's abstract narratives of text and sound—animated through personal pictographic imagery—and the deconstruction of letters as both images and sounds. Mozenter's practice is influenced by the writings of Gertrude Stein. Explorations of the phonetic sounds of letters have also been a reoccurring element in Mozenter's work, doubling at times as the works' titles. The letters and titles are playful and absurd; and defy singular interpretations. JF Lynch: Word Drawings - Lesley Heller Gallery "If you set pen to paper, is the letter "i" a written sound sign or a drawn glyph of a standing figure? When you look at a narrative drawing and understand the story, have you not just read the drawing?" Lesley Heller Gallery is pleased to present the first New York solo show of JF Lynch in our Project Space. Lynch is an artist known for his monochromatic works that feature abstracted letters and words set within a dark expanse. Working predominantly with charcoal on paper or canvas, Lynch's work bridges painting, drawing, and writing.

Un art autre, a term meaning 'Art of another kind' was coined by legendary art critic and curator Michel Tapié in 1952. The artists involved provided a distinctively European parallel to the American Abstract Expressionist movement. This exhibition will offer an insight into the allure of Paris in the 1950s and '60s: a hub of cross-cultural exchange, intellectual activity, and artistic re-invention. It will feature works by artists Sam Francis, Joan Mitchell, Jean Paul Riopelle, Pierre Soulages, and Zao Wou-Ki. #StarringJohnCho Exhibition - Pearl River Mart Gallery It's not just a hashtag — it's a cultural movement. Screenwriter, creative strategist, and cultural activist William Yu started the viral #StarringJohnCho project to address the lack of Asian American representation in Hollywood and to bring to life the idea of an Asian American leading actor. Now the hashtag is brought to life in a multimedia installation. Reminiscent of a movie theater lobby, the installation invites viewers to the imagined world of John Cho as a lead actor, and makes tangible the possibilities for a new kind of movie going experience for Asian Americans. See in person what movies like The Avengers, Jurassic World, and (500) Days of Summer would look like with an Asian American star. And, become a superhero yourself with the show's interactive portion! Join us in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month for the opening reception: May 18, 5 to 7pm. Free and open to the public. Dot, Point, Period - Castelli Gallery The Leo Castelli Gallery opened in New York at 4 East 77th Street on February 10, 1957. In 1958 the gallery gave Jasper Johns his first exhibition. Within 10 years, the gallery became the international epicenter for Pop, Minimal, and Conceptual Art, showing among others Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, and Keith Sonnier. In 1971 the Castelli Gallery opened a second space at 420 West Broadway in SoHo. During this decade, several Conceptual artists joined the gallery, including Joseph Kosuth, Lawrence Weiner and Hanne Darboven. Leo Castelli, the gallery's founder, had an unparalleled eye for quality, combined with his extraordinary skill for nurturing and promoting new art and artists. These essential qualities secured his position as possibly the most respected and influential advocate for contemporary art of his time. In 1999 the Leo Castelli Gallery moved to the Upper East Side, where it has since been located. The gallery is now directed by Castelli's wife, Barbara Bertozzi Castelli. Ms. Bertozzi Castelli is an art historian whose specialization is ...

(read more) Exhibition opening: Woman Between Inhaling and Exhaling - Bohemian National Hall [2nd Floor] An opening for the exhibition "Woman Between Inhaling and Exhaling" featuring photographs by Czech documentary photographer Dana Kyndrova who examines the many facets of women's lives. The presented photographs - shot primarily in the former Czechoslovakia and later in the Czech Republic, but also in some Western countries - show the precious moments of daily life, child birth, the tensions of school exams, falling in love. The project called "Woman Between Inhaling and Exhaling" includes photographs from the 1970s - 1990s, and its aim is to capture the life of a woman in its full variety, from birth to death. The project is divided into seven parts – adolescence, maternity and family, fun, work, eroticism, faith, and old age. Apart from the objective chronology of life's pilgrimage of a human being, or more precisely, of a woman, the photographs perceive the principal life values, which accompany and influence us during our entire existence. The theme is more or less general; thus the question is not to portray a particular environment or a characteristics of a certain country. One could say the woman portrayed is a „European" woman. A substantial part of the photograp...

The Female Gaze: Women Surrealists in the Americas and Europe reframes the history of the movement by focusing exclusively on the pivotal role played by female artists as independent from—rather than in relationship to—their male counterparts. Featuring paintings, sculpture, mixed media, and collages spanning from 1938 to 2008, the exhibition also seeks to reveal the underlying political, social, and cultural attitudes that influenced ideas of gender. An opening reception will be held on May 8, from 6-8 p.m. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue including essays by Gloria Orenstein, Professor Emerita, Comparative Literature and Gender Studies, University of Southern California, and Patryk Tomaszewski, an art historian at The Graduate Center, CUNY. Orenstein noted, "I have been fortunate to know women Surrealists such as Leonora Carrington and Leonor Fini, and their work speaks to me on so many levels both spiritually and viscerally.

Ocean Cube is an immersive pop-up exhibit coming to NYC in June 2019 that offers participants a futuristic under-sea world. In this exhibit, you can shuttle between land and sea by coral traffic tunnel and are protected from external pollution under the protection of fishing nets wall.

It is the first oceanic pop up in NYC. It is incredible because everything is bioluminescent here! All the beautiful creatures emit the soft light. This is the place you don't want to miss this summer! Among Others: Photography and the Group - The Morgan Library & Museum Composed chiefly of works in the Morgan's collection, this exhibition explores how photographers have represented the bonds uniting people, whether in group portraits or in serial imagery. In arranged sittings, form is content: when commissioned to photograph the royals of Germany and England at a wedding in 1894, James Russell and Son's Studio instinctively centered its composition around the family's matriarch, Queen Victoria. Camera artists sometimes insert themselves into the action, as Susan Meiselas did when mingling with carnival strippers, first to portray them behind the scenes and then to photograph those in the audience from a performer's perspective. Action can also be a pose: in 1970, when asked to create a positive poster image for the Gay Liberation Front, Peter Hujar asked the group's members to run toward him on the street, enacting their slogan, "Come Out!!" Ingenuity may be called for when one's subjects are all too well-known: a press photographer, Jean-Pierre Ducatez, appealed to the primal desires of Beatles fans by zeroing in on the lips of each band member, creating a captivating game of who's-who. Bringing together works from the 1860s to the present, Among...

Hogarth: Cruelty and Humor - The Morgan Library & Museum The satirical scenes of the celebrated English artist William Hogarth (1697–1764) are iconic representations of eighteenth-century urban life at a time of great socio-economic disparity. An academic outsider and an activist, Hogarth was driven to innovate, creating new genres and modes of expression in his painting, printmaking, and drawing in his effort to elevate the status of British art. This exhibition will investigate the ways the artist used humor, satire, and political commentary to engage a broad audience and agitate for legislation and political goals. The exhibition features the Morgan's exceptional cache of six sheets preparatory for two of Hogarth's most revered print series, both issued in February 1751: Beer Street and Gin Lane and The Four Stages of Cruelty. The story of Hogarth's images reveal an artist who addressed the ills and injustices of life in a modern metropolis, exploring the connections between violence, crime, alcohol abuse, and cruelty to animals in ways that would amuse, occasionally shock, and edify his audience. Shady Ladies: Secret Tour of The Met - Metropolitan Museum of Art DISCOVER HISTORY'S SCANDALOUS, FEISTY WOMEN FROM ANCIENT GREEK HETAERAE TO MADAME X Courtesans, royal mistresses, scandalous women of every sort—the walls of the Metropolitan Museum are lined with them, from ancient Greek hetaerae to Sargent's Madame X. These women, famous not only for sex-appeal but also for their talents—and for a spirit which today we would call 'entrepreneurial'— fascinated both their wealthy patrons and the artists who created the world's great masterpieces. But who were they? How did they rise to their positions? And how did they maintain their prominence despite their scandalous reputations? OH, THE STORIES YOU'LL HEAR… To find out, join us as we explore the lives and loves that lie behind the paintings.

New Exhibition: The Printed Port The Printed Port illuminates an industry central to the development of New York City: job printing.

The South Street Seaport Museum's printing office, Bowne & Co., was one of hundreds of shops that made up New York's first nei... (read more) E. v. Day: Breaking the Glass Ceiling - Children's Museum of the Arts Known for her gravity-defying suspension sculptures that explore themes of science fiction, space, gender, and humor, E. V. Day illuminates contradictions in gender roles and stretches the confines of social stereotypes. In her new site-specific installation in the central Cynthia C. Wainwright Gallery, E. V. Day will use turnbuckles, monofilament, and angle iron to build multiple suspended trajectories in the ceiling, using the columns and walls as mounting points. Day will employ chains, brass rods, elastic cords, and hardware to build tension, highlight resistance, and imply velocity. The ceiling installation will be complemented by shattered glass images displayed around the perimeter of the gallery referencing cosmic aspirations — the strong desire to achieve something that might feel just outside of one's reach. Ralston Crawford: Torn Signs - The Vilcek Foundation Ralston Crawford: Torn Signs brings together drawings, paintings, and photography by the American Modernist artist, while examining the confluence of two seemingly disparate series completed later in his life, Torn Signs and Semana Santa. Though their subject matter is drastically different—one is inspired by tattered advertisements on the streets of New York, while the other depicts observers of Holy Week in Seville, Spain—Crawford connects them through his extraordinary visual memory, working method, and sense of spatial organization. The convergence of these two incredible series culminates in Torn Signs, 1974-76, the powerful, large-scale painting that sits at the thematic center of the exhibition. Dear Evan Hansen - Music Box Theatre Dear Evan Hansen Tickets. Dear Evan Hansen Musical. Dear Evan Hansen Broadway. Dear Evan Hansen is the epitome of a modern musical. The show is set firmly in the mid 2010's with technology and social media at the core of its plot, catering directly to its target audience of the teenagers and young adults of today while also connecting to people of all ages. Winning the Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book of a Musical, the crew behind the production take full advantage of their target audience. Musical theatre is becoming increasingly more popular with young people, so with it's music, characters and plot, Dear Evan Hansen is almost irresistible to them. The show, with music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and book by Steven Levenson, deals with some pretty heavy subject matter, but they're issues that are very hot topics at the moment. The heavy themes of mental illness, suicide, and struggling families are confronting, but as they become more prominent in real life, the need to portray these issue seriously in theatre is more crucial than ever. Dear Evan Hansen handles these themes with grace and honesty. It makes a point of giv...

Picasso's Le Tricorne - New-York Historical Society Now on display at the New-York Historical Society is a newly acquired and conserved Picasso in the exhibition Picasso's "Le Tricorne." It is the first work by Picasso, and one with great wall power and a New York history, to enter New-York Historical's collection. Pablo Picasso painted the stage curtain for the two-act ballet The Three-Cornered Hat (El sombrero de tres picos or Le tricorne). The ballet and curtain were commissioned by the impresario Sergei Diaghilev for his avant-garde, Paris-based Ballets Russes, the most influential ballet company of the twentieth-century. The ballet was choreographed by Léonide Massine with music by the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla. It premiered on July 22, 1919, at the Alhambra Theatre in London with sets, costume designs, and the monumental stage curtain created by Picasso. Picasso biographer John Richardson once called "Le Tricorne" the artist's "supreme theatrical achievement." The production, which was conceived by Diaghilev and Massine during a trip to Spain, was enhanced by its many Spanish collaborators, including Picasso who also designed the costumes and set for the ballet. Measuring roughly 20 feet square, the curtain depict...
