This FOl enquiry for the Guardian has taken up a great deal of my life for the past 2 years. (1/3)
Part of a page of a medieval manuscript that had a hole cut into it. Underneath it is a restoration of a large decorated B, which would have been in this place, and which was restored by Eliza. The letter emulates the medieval style of script, but the image inside it is in a late 18th century style, showing a verdant tree standing against a green bucolic landscape.
In the 1790s a London woman named Eliza Denyer developed a modest reputation as a restorer of medieval manuscripts. She was forgotten by scholars and, in one case, her restorations were deliberately replaced by a man’s. I recovered her story & tracked all her known work here: tinyurl.com/2ktztx2e
The man who made modern Shanghai: Edwin Heathcote sizes up the achievements of László Hudec, the Hungarian architect who went east, not west, between the wars and created a new skyline.

In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.
Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.

Exactly. One can point things like this out without the monetised shrieks of outrage that today go for public debate
bizarrely you got plagiarised by the Observer without any credit. observer.co.uk/news/interna...
They say plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, so I am honoured to see that my Tracey Emin article has been so thoroughly read by @alicettimes.bsky.social

I have loved the TAZ ever since the ‘Dialog mit RAF-Gefangenen’ days (lolz) but it shouldn’t in any way be considered to represent German public opinion
*knowing laugh*
The electorate have seen that neither the Cons nor Lab can fulfil their unrealistic demands. In the next chapter read how they discover that neither can the Greens or Reform. It’s time British voters stopped living in a fantasy world
Read the numerous articles in the Gdn and Times about it
Ofc she’s innocent
The New Yorkers' great art critic Peter Schedkdahl died in 2022, but what would be say about Tracey Emin's exhibition if he was still alive today? #AI #traceyemin #newyorker Thanks to Claude-Anthropic
MattCollingsAI reviews Emin
Every art critic under the sun is reviewing the Tracey Emin exhibition except Matthew Collings, who's always been one of my favourite voices on art. I feel his absence. So I asked Claude AI to write a review in his style #traceyemin
#artquiz 5. Name the artist
Toronto's @thestar.com sent a cease and desist letter to the creator of the podcast network that @indicator.media wrote about on Wednesday. He has promised to reverse course.

#artquiz 4 Which work of art do you associate with these four objects?

All these column inches wasted by attention-seeking commentators pronouncing the old 2 party politics dead in the UK. Nonsense it’s just the disgruntled unrealistic electorate voting once again for the other guy, not the incumbent, the untried option. Soon they will feel the same abt Greens & Reform
"I am old enough to remember when everyone except Charles Saatchi hated the art of Tracey Emin."
I have written about Tracey Emin this week, just like every other two-bit art critic.
