The Historic Preservation Laws Of The Street Art

Upon entering the room, visitors’ eyes dart to that mysteriously empty frame centered on the opposite wall. In such a painstakingly designed museum, this frame looks out of place. On these walls hang the memoirs of revered artists, but the empty frames scattered throughout remember something more tragic: the largest property theft in world history (Menconi, 2012). Head of security at the Gardner, Anthony Amore, refers to these empty frames as “placeholders, not memorials” and urges visitors to see them as a “testament” to their belief that they will reacquire the stolen paintings someday (Menconi, 2012). Whether they do or not, the 1990 Gardner theft greatly impacted

In my opinion the laws that need the must reworking is the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, more specifically section 106. While section 106 is a good attempt at this issue it falls short in many situations (Brashler 2016: 33). One issues is that it only applies to federal land or federally funded projects. In America we have a huge emphasis on private land ownership and individual property. This

Lorraine O’Gradys’ unintentionally historic performances, seemingly elevate everyday life to the status of art. In her ‘exhibit’ at the Studio Museum, her work is represented through photographs, in ‘Art is…’. Thirty years ago, O’Grady presented ‘Art is’ in the form of a float in the African American Day Parade right here in Harlem. Performers pranced with empty frames, metaphorically capturing fleeting pictures of the people and places that surrounded the route of the parade. By doing so, the trappings of high art were brought out of the museum, into the street, which promotes a new way people might begin to recognize this new art form in the celebrations of every day life. The

Countless art has been sought-after throughout history. Explorers, scientists, art collectors, politicians, and entrepreneurs from Western nations have sought out and removed art from the lands of great civilizations, often with the assistance and participation of local people and governments. Even as cultural property faces immediate danger today in conflict zones like Syria and Mali, there is circumstantial evidence that some nations are awakening to the political and foreign policy benefits that can flow from the repatriation of cultural patrimony. While on a different scale from World War II, historic structures, religious monuments, and other priceless ancient times continue to suffer collateral damage and manipulation in armed conflict. Relics have been stolen, smuggled and sold in what is a reported multibillion dollar underground market. They have become the illicit prizes of private collectors and the subject of legal claims against museums. Of the countless museums subject to legal claims, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City happens to be one of them. “The Metropolitan Museum has acquired thousands of works and objects of art from the antiquities”. “For the past several years, the government of Turkey has warned U.S. and foreign museums (including The Metropolitan Museum of Art), that unless ancient objects from Turkish soil are given up on demand, Turkey will stop lending artworks” (The Committee for Cultural Policy, 2015). Turkey continues to up the

The form for this nomination was prepared by Jeff Lohr, the chairman for the Historic House Committee with the help of Catherine Galbraith. The form was submitted for review in April of 1978 and was deemed eligible for inclusion in the National Register in October of the same year. These properties were deemed to be significant between the years of 1850 and 1928. These properties are eligible for the National Register under criteria A and C. The properties in the Canemah Historic District are unified by their involvement with transportation, industry, architecture and commerce that contributed to the history of the State of Oregon. The form preparers used geographical features and city limits to establish the boundaries of the Canemah Historic District. There is one exception to this with on property that falls outside of the city limits. This case demonstrates that properties included in historic district nominations will be generally be located within the same area in close proximity to one another. In total, the properties cover 41 blocks and several large lots. In this case a standard nomination form was used, and this served as a nomination form would have for nominations for objects, single buildings, structures and sites. This is one of the factors that makes a historic district nomination different that a form that is used for a multiple property

Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the ideals of conservation, protection, and preservation became embedded within the development industry. Intensive periods of growth, urban and suburban sprawl, coupled with the surge and education regarding environmental liability took a toll upon the United States’ national resources. Throughout this period in the Unite States, the preservation movement developed into a network of National Parks throughout the country, in addition to laying down the groundwork for the conception of preservation to be adapted within other fields. One type of a historic site, which is arguably deserving of conservation, and frequently encountered throughout the United States are battlefields, in particular

When driving or walking anywhere in Los Angeles there is graffiti or street art all around. Some say vandalism and I say ART. There is so many types of street art, like tagging, stickers, characters, murals, and more. Places in Los Angeles are mostly covered with beautiful murals. When street artists create murals they create a voice for everyone in that community without saying a word.

There is an ongoing art-ownership debate over paintings and other art stolen from European Jews during the Holocaust of World War II (1939-45). As Jews were sent to concentration camps, Nazi German soldiers looted valuable art from their homes. During the ensuing decades, some of that art landed in major museums on display, prompting Holocaust survivors and the families of Holocaust victims to ask that those works be returned to them.

For example, Historic zoning by the cities is authorized by the state statute for the control of the historic property, including regulation of appearance of neighboring private property. In Bohannon v. City of San Diego, 30 Cal. App. 416, 106 Cal. Rptr. 333 (1973), the appellate court upheld these statues and the ordinances they authorized as a permissible exercise of the police power. When one is seeking to secure adoption of historic preservation ordinance, it is recommended to obtain support of the property owner or at least educate them about the possible advantages of such

First, I will refer to Penn Central Transportation Company v. City of New York, 438 U.S. 104, 98 S.Ct. 2646 (1978), a landmark case in the field of historic preservation. In Penn Central, the main issue addressed by the Court was whether individual property rights or the City’s local historic preservation ordinances should prevail when it comes to a property assigned landmark status. The root of the case was the fact that the Landmarks Commission of New York City had denied the transportation company’s request to build a 55-story addition to the Grand Central Terminal. In response, Penn Central claimed a “taking” had occurred for not being able to develop their property in the way they had intended to do so (Tyler, Ligibel, & Tyler, 2009, p. 123). In his opinion, Justice Brennan stated:

The Oregon Historical District is a twelve city block area in Dayton, Ohio that is registered with the National Register of Historic Places. This reasonably small area has both commercial and residential land uses. Though mixed use space, commercial and residential, is seen as a modern phenomenon, this area of land is quite old for an American city with the original plat recording in 1829. However, the homes in the area developed over a period of 100 years which allowed for them to development with different architectural features with the most common being Classic Revival. This different architectural development could also be seen throughout the business district. Intriguing ideas held within the historic value of the Oregon Historical District are the ideas of preservation and protection. Instead of requiring its residents to rehabilitate the homes to original status the requirements are that the home look authentic and have the appeal of authenticity. The aesthetic nature of the homes should be less museum-like and more home-like with the intention of preserving the architectural character of the past.

The article by Denise Lawrece-Zuniga (2010) focused on preservationist and the experiences of preservationists living in Los Angeles. The author conducted interviews and participant observation five different cities across Los Angeles. Preservation can be defined as maintenance of property without significant alteration to its current condition, the more original features the home possesses the better it is (Lawrence-Zuniga 2010). Preservationist claimed their goal to save history from destruction of modernity or neglect. In theory, preservations cosmology is available to all residents of historic neighborhoods, but it privileges those possessing cultural capital (education, class, economy) to do so. One concerns that preservation cosmology
