| Pan and Orpheus An extraordinary pair of life-size late 18th / early19th C. hand carved Roman wood statues depicting Pan with his panpipes and Orpheus with his lyre. These handsome statues retain their original painted and gilt surfaces and stand on later round pedestals.
| Pan and Orpheus are presented at Center44 by Knollwood Antiques. | Song of the Week |  | "Wild Thing" by The Wild Ones In May, 1965, shortly after her divorce from Richard Burton, Sybil Burton opened mod discotheque Arthur on East 54th Street. It became the hottest club in town with regulars that included Tennessee Williams, Princess Margaret, Lee Remick, Rudolf Nureyev, Truman Capote, Liza Minnelli, and Andy Warhol. Burton also married the much younger Jordan Christopher, a hunky former hairdresser turned musical director of Arthur's house band The Wild Ones. Jordan soon left the band for a budding acting career but The Wild Ones went on to record the original 1965 version of "Wild Thing," written by Chip Taylor (brother of Jon Voight). It wasn't a hit for them but was quickly covered by The Troggs and a garage rock anthem was born. "Wild Thing," featured on Monica's November 27th show on WFMU, can be purchased via iTunes. | | Tube of the Week - Back to the Future |  | LittleDog was first developed by Boston Dynamics. It's used for research by groups at MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, etc. The more advanced version, seen here, was created by the University of Southern California. The robot is completely autonomous and trained by machine learning algorithms. You'll find this little technologically advanced fellow fascinating and inspiring - but also rather terrifying.! |
