Showcase

From among thousands of tempting pieces for sale at art shows, finding one you covet is easy. It's the cost that can sometimes be hard. But not so at affordable art fairs, where prices are kept below eight-thousand dollars. And with the most recent show taking place in London, Showcase's Miranda Atty finds out how much people are willing to pay for a piece of original art without blowing their budget.

New York in the nineteen sixties was a time of untamed expression and experimentation when Andy Warhol and the rest of his pop art scene celebrities ruled the city. In 1964 Warhol opened the Silver Factory, a hub of creativity that was shrouded in mystery. Photographer Nat Finkelstein spent years photographing what happened in there, and now an exhibition of his photographs is lifting the lid on a never-before-seen side of the infamous factory. Showcase's Miranda Atty tells us what he found.

There is a feeling of nostalgia when it comes to autumn. The calm that comes following a hot summer. The reprieve that happens before winter. But of course, the cycle is incomplete without the spring known as a time of rebirth and revival. Here in Istanbul, spring is in full bloom, something that Turkey's State Opera and Ballet's newest production is capturing.

Full Metal Jacket, The Shining or A Clockwork Orange. Chances are, you've seen a Stanley Kubrick film. Known as both a visionary and a risk taker, his name is synonymous when it comes to cinematic reinvention. This year marks the 20th anniversary of his death, but his work on celluloid lives on. Showcase's Miranda Atty was at the launch of a new exhibition at London's Design Museum celebrating the master himself. But in a behind-the-curtain kind of way.

German industrial metal band Rammstein's mix of heavy guitar riffs, electronica samples and insane drumlines have garnered them a hoard of head-banging fans across the globe. The band which has never failed to create huge excitement and its fair share of controversy has kept silent for ten years, following their last album Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da. But now they're back and louder than ever.

From established names to emerging talent, the Turner Prize rewards British artists or artists based in Britain by recognizing the value to the art world of their current work. Damien Hurst, Anish Kapoor and even filmmaker Steve McQueen have taken home the Turner, but so too are lesser known names producing work that sets out to explore political issues through contemporary art.
