Actor Peter Falk ~ TV's Columbo and an Artist in His Own Right, has Died at 83 Posted: 25 Jun 2011 10:31 PM PDT NEW YORK (AP).- The best way to celebrate Peter Falk's life is to savor how Columbo, his TV signature character, fortified our lives. Thanks to Falk's affectionately genuine portrayal, Lt. Columbo established himself for all time as a champion of any viewer who ever felt less than graceful, elegant or well-spoken. Falk died Thursday at age 83 in his Beverly Hills, Calif., home, according to a statement released Friday by family friend Larry Larson. But Columbo lives on as the shining ideal of anyone with a smudge on his tie, whose car isn't the sportiest, who often seems clueless, who gets dissed by fancy people. As a police detective, Columbo's interview technique was famously disjointed, with his inevitable awkward afterthought ("Ahhh, there's just one more thing...") that tried the patience of his suspect as he was halfway out the door. Columbo, as a detective, was underestimated, patronized or simply overlooked by nearly everyone he met — especially the culprit. And yet Columbo, drawing on inner pluck for which only he (and an actor as skilled as Falk) could have accounted, always prevailed. Contrary to all evidence (that is, until he nailed the bad guy), Columbo always knew what he was doing. Even more inspiring for viewers, he was unconcerned with how other people saw him. He seemed to be perfectly happy with himself, his life, his pet basset, Dog, his wheezing Peugeot, and his never-seen wife. A squat man chewing cigars in a rumpled raincoat, he stands tall among TV's most self-assured heroes. What viewer won't take solace forever from the lessons Columbo taught us by his enduring example? Columbo — he never had a first name — presented a refreshing contrast to other TV detectives. "He looks like a flood victim," Falk once said. "You feel sorry for him. He appears to be seeing nothing, but he's seeing everything. Underneath his dishevelment, a good mind is at work." On another occasion, he described Columbo as "an ass-backwards Sherlock Holmes." "As a person, he was like Columbo. He was exactly the same way: a great sense of humor, constantly forgetting things," said Charles Engel, an NBCUniversal executive who worked with Peter Falk on "Columbo" and was his neighbor and longtime friend. He remembered Falk as a "brilliant" actor and "an amazingly wonderful, crazy guy," and said a script was in place for a two-hour "Columbo" special, but Falk's illness made the project impossible. In a court document filed in December 2008, Falk's daughter Catherine Falk said her father was suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Somehow fittingly, Falk — the perfect choice to play Columbo — failed to be the first choice. Instead, the role was offered to easygoing crooner Bing Crosby. Fortunately, he turned it down. With Falk in place, "Columbo" began its run in 1971 as part of the NBC Sunday Mystery Movie series, appearing every third week. The show became by far the most popular of the three mysteries, the others being "McCloud" and "McMillan and Wife." Falk was reportedly paid $250,000 a movie and could have made much more if he had accepted an offer to convert "Columbo" into a weekly series. He declined, reasoning that carrying a weekly detective series would be too great a burden. Columbo's trademark: an ancient raincoat Falk had once bought for himself. After 25 years on television, the coat became so tattered it had to be replaced. Falk was already an experienced Broadway actor and two-time Oscar nominee when he began playing Columbo. And, long before then, he had demonstrated a bit of Columbo-worthy spunk: at 3, he had one eye removed because of cancer. Then, when he was starting as an actor in New York, an agent told him, "Of course, you won't be able to work in movies or TV because of your eye." And after failing a screen test at Columbia Pictures, he was told by studio boss Harry Cohn that "for the same price I can get an actor with two eyes." But Falk prevailed, even before "Columbo," picking up back-to-back Oscar nominations as best supporting actor for the 1960 mob drama "Murder, Inc." and Frank Capra's last film, the 1961 comedy-drama "Pocketful of Miracles." Paying tribute, actor-comedian Michael McKean said, "Peter Falk's assault on conventional stardom went like this: You're not conventionally handsome, you're missing an eye and you have a speech impediment. Should you become a movie star? Peter's correct answer: Absolutely. "I got to hang with him a few times and later worked a day with him on a forgettable TV movie," McKean went on, calling Falk "a sweet, sharp and funny man with a great soul. Wim Wenders called it correctly in 'Wings of Desire': He was an angel if there ever was one on Earth." "There is literally nobody you could compare him to. He was a completely unique actor," said Rob Reiner, who directed Falk in "The Princess Bride." "His personality was really what drew people to him. ... He had this great sense of humor and this great natural quality nobody could come close to," Reiner said. Falk's work with Alan Arkin in "The In-Laws" represents "one of the most brilliant comedy pairings we've seen on screen." Peter Michael Falk was born in 1927, in New York City and grew up in Ossining, N.Y., where his parents ran a clothing store. After serving as a cook in the merchant marine and receiving a master's degree in public administration from Syracuse University, Falk worked as an efficiency expert for the budget bureau of the state of Connecticut. He also acted in amateur theater and was encouraged to become a professional by actress-teacher Eva Le Gallienne. An appearance in "The Iceman Cometh" off-Broadway led to other parts, among them Josef Stalin in Paddy Chayefsky's 1964 "The Passion of Josef D." In 1971, Falk scored a hit in Neil Simon's "The Prisoner of Second Avenue," Tony-nominated for best play. Falk made his film debut in 1958 with "Wind Across the Everglades" and established himself as a talented character actor with his performance as the vicious killer Abe Reles in "Murder, Inc." Among his other movies: "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," ''Robin and the Seven Hoods," ''The Great Race," ''Luv," ''Castle Keep," ''The Cheap Detective" and "The Brinks Job." Falk also appeared in a number of art-house favorites, including "Wings of Desire" (in which he played himself as a former angel), and the semi-improvisational films "Husbands" and "A Woman Under the Influence," directed by his friend John Cassavetes. "Today we lost someone who is very special and dear to my heart. Not only a wonderful actor but a very great friend," said Gena Rowlands, who co-starred with Falk in the latter film, and was married to the late Cassavetes. Falk became prominent in television movies, beginning with his first Emmy for "The Price of Tomatoes" in 1961. His four other Emmys were for "Columbo". He was married to pianist Alyce Mayo in 1960; they had two daughters, Jackie and Catherine, and divorced in 1976. The following year he married actress Shera Danese. They filed for divorce twice and reconciled each time. When not working, Falk spent time in the garage of his Beverly Hills home. He had converted it into a studio where he created charcoal drawings. He took up art in New York when he was in the Simon play and one day happened into the Art Students League. He recalled: "I opened a door and there she was, a nude model, shoulders back, a light from above, buck-ass naked. The female body is awesome. Believe me, I signed up right away." Falk is survived by his wife Shera and his two daughters.

Since opening its doors in Culver City's Arts District in 2006, Corey Helford Gallery has emerged as a powerhouse in Los Angeles' art scene with its standout exhibitions that have gained worldwide fame. Corey Helford's first major group exhibition debuted in 2007 with "Charity By Numbers." Featuring an unparalleled line-up of works by more than 65 artists of the New Fine Art Movement, the group show attracted thousands of guests for the benefit exhibition and auction.

The "Chou-achella" of contemporary art, Gary Baseman's "La Noche De La Fusion" festival/exhibition extravaganza dazzled audiences in 2009. Over 3,000 fans from around the world attended the absurdist art carnival, which included the premiere of Baseman's character ChouChou, fire performers, Brazilian samba dancers and drummers, and "Metamorphosis," a ritual finale to burn away fears and insecurities. In 2010, Corey Helford unveiled its largest and grandest exhibition to date, "Art From The New World." Curated by Jan Corey Helford, the trans-Atlantic collaboration with Bristol's City Museum & Art Gallery drew over 60,000 visitors in only three months and established the American New Fine Art Movement in the UK and Europe. The opening night gala made UK history with Dita Von Teese's titillating burlesque performance in an Edwardian-era British museum. Most recently, Corey Helford invited UK street artist D*Face for his first Los Angeles solo exhibition in April 2011, entitled "Going Nowhere Fast." One of the many highlights of epic aPOPcalyptic sold-out show was the "Cheat Death" tombstone that D*Face strategically placed on Charlie Sheen's Walk-of-Fame star in Hollywood. The year ahead will showcase the addition of major solo exhibitions by Ron English and Ray Caesar to Corey Helford Gallery's schedule, and the gallery has more special surprises planned for 2012. "Surprises. We really like surprises. When everyone is zigging, we like to zag," the Helfords add. Located in the Culver City Art District, Corey Helford Gallery was established in April 2006 by Jan Corey Helford and her husband, television producer and creator, Bruce Helford (The Drew Carey Show, George Lopez, The Oblongs). Passionate art collectors, the Helfords are producers on the art documentary The Treasures of Long Gone John and have partnered to open their first gallery.

Jean Cocteau's House at Milly-la-Foret Opens to the Public Posted: 25 Jun 2011 06:37 PM PDT MILLY-LA-FORET.- Purchased in 1947 with Jean Marais, Jean Cocteau's house in Milly-la-Forêt was the theatre of creation for his most important works.

The Musée d'Art Moderne Hosts Major Marc Desgrandchamps Retrospective Posted: 25 Jun 2011 06:36 PM PDT Paris.- The Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris is devoting a solo exhibition to Marc Desgrandchamps, contemporary French painter from May 13th until September 4th. Consisting of forty large paintings and a large selection of works on paper (watercolors, drawings, collages, lithographs and wash), the exhibition traces the artist's works from 1987 until the present day and will be the largest retrospective of the artists work yet held. This retrospective is an opportunity to discover many new and paintings showcase works already present in many public and private collections. Easily recognizable by his evanescent figures, broken objects and undefined space, Desgrandchamps's work is primarily a visual experience. Despite their architectural compositions, the artist's paintings are comprise layers of differing opacity. Fluid colors that appear to be almost liquid and blurred contours combine to give forms an unlikely materiality. The figurative elements seem more juxtaposed than in communication with each other, as if suspended in the pictorial space. They establish doubt and questions in the viewer's mind, rather than provide any certainty.

On exhibition 5 June 2009 until 27 September 2009.
