How Dries Van Noten Made Prints Using Flowers From His Own Garden - The New York Times

Classical house near Antwerp.[Coming soon: the T List newsletter, a weekly roundup of what T Magazine editors are noticing and coveting. Sign up here.]On a crisp afternoon in October, he headed outside armed with shears and a camera. He cut fuchsia and lemon-yellow roses, burgundy dahlias and cornflower blue delphiniums from bountiful late-season bushes and suspended the blooms from delicate transparent threads in front of a sky blue paper backdrop. He and his team then photographed the flowers, illuminated only by the fading sun, before digitally printing the images onto silks, chiffons and crepe de Chine. The result is a collection of prints that feel naturalistic and almost palpably alive. “The last hot poker of the season, printed now on a dress, was something that I really liked as a message,” the designer says of one of the specimens, the flame red African flowering plant also known as Kniphofia. In the collection, its starburst-like petals wend their way up a dusky blue belted trench dress in a buttery silk, as if still sprouting from the earth.ImageDries Van Noten fall 2019CreditThomas Samson/Agence France-Presse/Getty ImagesInspired in part by the introspective mood of the American writer Gertrude Stein’s 1913 poem “Sacred Emily” — perhaps best known for its line “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose” — Van Noten felt that the prints for this collect... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/08/t-magazine/dries-van-noten-flower-prints.html

Petals of Van Gogh's Sunflowers Have Begun to Wilt, Researchers Say

Gogh Museum in Amsterdam have begun to microscopically wilt, Nina Siegal of the New York Times reports.Frederick Vanmeert—a doctoral candidate in the chemistry department at the University of Antwerp—confirmed that, while the effect cannot yet be seen with the naked eye, the colors of the pale yellow flowers have begun to change. He coauthored a technical study, published in the scientific journal Angewandte Chemie, which explains that the artist used a light-sensitive pigment and that soon the yellow bouquet may turn to an olive green.The researchers collaborated with the museum in 2016. They analyzed the work through a chemical-mapping process called “macrosopic X-ray powder diffraction,” which allowed them to examine the painting without ever having to touch its surface, and discovered that Van Gogh had used three types of yellow pigments that were fairly new at the time. Vanmeert said that they were purchased by the tube and that two of the colors deteriorate after exposure to light.Vanmeert also confirmed that the National Gallery in London is expecting to receive the same diagnosis for the version of Sunflowers exhibited within the institution. The findings follow a 2013 study that concluded that the artist also used a red pigment that fades to white, which is why hi... https://www.artforum.com/news/petals-of-van-gogh-s-sunflowers-have-begun-to-wilt-researchers-say-75656

Doubts Raised About Green Claims of New Belgian Waste-to-Energy Plant - Huffington Post

By Julie Ann Aelbrecht, student in financial journalism, City University-London and Aarhus UniversityPort of Antwerp proudly announced last May that the Saudi company Energy Recovery Systems (ERS) will invest 3.7 billion euros (roughly U.S. $4 billion) in a green project at one of its docks. The Saudi company's waste-to-chemical plant will turn unrecyclable plastic into "green" urea and ammonia through gasification, which could be fed into a cluster of chemical companies already present at Antwerp's port. The Dutch company Howa International as its sole vendor for the waste.The Port of Antwerp lauded the project as 40 percent more energy-efficient than a classical waste incinerator, but doubts about how green the project actually is have quickly developed. Underwhelming results from previous attempts at similar projects, doubts about the project's feasibility report and the uncertain final destination of the plant's products all make the grounds for port management's and city officials' initial euphoria seem less and less certain.The PlantWhen completed, the plant is expected to process rough... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/pro-journo/doubts-raised-about-green_b_8916324.html

Van Gogh's Sunflowers may be wilting in the sun - Royal Society of Chemistry

It’s a very iconic painting and it’s the one which is, for the painting curators, also quite a hard one to figure out,’ says Koen Janssens from the University of Antwerp, Belgium. ‘To try to understand how it looked originally, whether it looked like as it looks now or not.’Janssens and his colleagues, based at the centre for scientific methodologies applied to archaeology and art (SMAArt) in Italy, began to tackle this issue back in 2011 by manufacturing artificial samples of lead chromate pigment and exposing them to light.2 Using x-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy, the team found that sulfate-rich lead chromate darkened over time, with any chromium present being reduced from chromium(IV) to chromium(III).Mapping Sunflowers’ elementsAfter being given access to one of Van Gogh’s original Sunflowers paintings at the Van Gogh museum in the Netherlands earlier this year, the SMAArt sleuths have now revealed this process is indeed occurring within the petals of this prized work.‘In the light-sensitive version of lead chromate you do not have a 1:1 ratio of chromium to lead … but [it’s] somewhere between 1:2 and 2:3,’ comments Janssens. ‘We used micro x-ray fluorescence to try and see where this ratio appeared and it turned out that that was quite substantial – in quite a lot of locations on the sunflowers this was the case.’ Using this portable tool, Janssens and his colleagues were able to produce a complete compound map, finding sulfate-rich lead chromate within the petals and the table at the bottom of the piece.But this piece of information alone does not confirm that a painting has aged and the team also had to prove that degraded chromium species were also present. Two microsamples were taken from the areas thought to have degraded and x-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed that there was a significant amount of chromium(III) present, suggesting the petals are in fact darkening over time.Such a finding may encourage curators to reassess their preservation strategies for these delicate artworks, but this research will provide a vital resource for them, according to Letizia Monico from SMAArt. ‘The availability of a “hig... http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/2015/10/van-gogh-sunflowers-pigment-darkening

Business is 'blooming' at Park Avenue Florist & Gift Shop - Clay Today Online

McCleod said.“I’ve just started coming here,” said Orange Park’s Marlene Revella. “My parents and most of my family live up in Ohio, and obviously I won’t be going home for the holidays this year. So I decided to maybe send them a plant. But I came in and saw the different flower arrangements and plants, and I ended up being here for over an hour. The salespeople were so helpful and patient with me.“I ended up deciding to send a plant and flowers. I think it’s something I’ll probably do again in the future. It’s not too expensive, and it’s a pretty timely gift to let someone know you’re thinking of them.”McCleod says that the florist is doing mostly contactless deliveries and pickups on orders, as people are trying to maintain suggested health and safety protocols.“Usually within 24 hours,” said McCleod when asked about the turnaround time of delivery and pickup orders. “That way, if they pick out something special, we can order it in. We have a wide variety on hand, so we can usually fill it [the order].” McCleod hasn’t seen any particular demographic doing most of the buying.According to her, it’s across the board. Although, she says she’s seen more men than usual – doghouse buys, she calls them – assuming that quarantine has caused them to irritate the women in their lives.“We’re doing more centerpieces right now, especially for Thanksgiving,” said McCleod. “Scented with candles, something festive for their holiday table. Christmas is usually about the same thing. We have ornaments in the specialty type containers as well.” ... https://www.claytodayonline.com/stories/business-is-blooming-at-park-avenue-florist-gift-shop,25109

Looters Ransack Streeterville Florist Shop That Opened Just A Few Months Ago - CBS Chicago

It was difficult to see the shop like this,” Nima Manhas said.The refrigerators were shattered, the computers were broken, and the new small business at 209 E. Ohio St. was totally ransacked.“All of us are trying to get back to normal, and it’s just so difficult,” Nima Manhas said.They did deal with some theft.“Just garbage and trash everywhere,” said Gur Manhas.But for the most part, City Scents Flowers was destroyed for the sake of destruction – almost eerily so.You can see the flowers behind the broken refrigerators still arranged in place.“It seemed like the purpose was just to damage,” Gur Manhas said.Their purpose since taking over in April is supporting their community, even when it meant closing down during the protests in May after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.“We handed out daisies and white roses to protestors to show support for the protesters,” Nima Manhas said.“We do not believe that the violence that occurred this morning had anything to do with any kind of social justice theme,” Gur Manhas said.Now, as they process and finish picking up the pieces, things that can be replaced.“We don’t want people to move away from the city,” Gur Manhas said.Their focus is on a feeling throughout the city right now that’s not as easily replaceable.“I think it’s important for everyone to feel safe in our community,” Nima Manhas said.City Scents is hoping to open back up soon in Streeterville. And on Monday night, like other businesses in this area, big and small, all hit in the early morning, they’re asking for one thing – protection from the city. https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/08/10/looters-ransack-streeterville-florist-shop-that-opened-just-a-few-months-ago/
