The rare 12th century walrus ivory carving depicting Joseph of Arimathea taking the body of Christ down from the cross that was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a private sale last year has been sniped by the V&A. The Romanesque carving was made between 1190 and 1200 probably in York. It was originally part of a much larger altarpiece of scenes from the Passion of the Christ. The carved details — the drapery, poses, the facial expressions — are masterful examples of skill in ivory carving. The English Reformation slashed and burned much of this kind of devotional art. Today the Deposition is widely considered one of the greatest surviving pieces of medieval British carved ivory. Because of its great rarity, the exceptional quality of the carving and its cultural significance, the UK Arts Minister placed a temporary export bar on the Deposition to allow a local museum the opportunity to match the purchase price and keep the artwork in Britain. There was no question as to which local museum would throw its hat in the ring. The Deposition and a fragment depicting Judas at the Last Supper from the same lost altarpiece were on display together at the V&A from 1982 until 2022. The Judas fragment was donated to the museum in 1949; the Deposition was on long-term loan from collectors John and Gertrude Hunt, and only left the museum when their heirs decided to sell it. The Deposition was exhibited once at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1970, and the Met was eager to make it part of its permanent collection when it was offered for sale. Sotheby’s negotiated the private sale, but it was clear from the beginning that the sale was contingent on an export license that was very likely to be barred. The Met set a high bar for any British museum to clear, paying £2 million ($2.5 million) for the seven-inch figure. As soon as the temporary export ban was in place, the V&A launched a fundraising campaign to raise the large sum. Two grants (£700,000 from the National Heritage Memorial Fund and £350,000 from the Art Fund) got them more than halfway to the goal. Other non-profits, the museum’s own budget and donors near and far got the V&A to its goal. Light conservation is now being conducted on the Deposition and it will go on display in September. It will be shown alongside the Judas fragment, in the V&A’s Medieval and Renaissance galleries.

In a bold and unexpected move, former President Donald Trump has announced the hiring of the famed “Rooftop Koreans” to enhance his personal security detail. This decision comes in the wake of a recent assassination attempt at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the Secret Service narrowly averted disaster. The term “Rooftop Koreans” harkens back to the 1992 Los Angeles riots, when Korean business owners famously took to their rooftops with firearms to defend their properties from looters. Trump’s choice to incorporate this unconventional security force has sent shockwaves through both political and law enforcement circles. “After the latest incident, it’s clear we need a security upgrade,” Trump stated in a press release. “The Secret Service did their best, but we need more. We need the Rooftop Koreans.” The recruitment of these legendary defenders is seen by many as a genius move, combining both nostalgia and practical defense strategies. The newly formed team, dubbed “Operation RoofTop Trump,” will be deployed at all upcoming rallies and events. Trump’s security team, now a mix of Secret Service agents and Rooftop Koreans, presents a formidable and visually striking presence. Equipped with state-of-the-art surveillance gear and an array of firearms, the Rooftop Koreans are ready to ensure no threat goes unnoticed or unchallenged. “The Rooftop Koreans are the best in the business,” said Trump. “They know how to handle a situation, and they have the experience to back it up. Plus, they look really cool up there.” Critics, however, are quick to point out the potential legal and ethical issues surrounding this unorthodox security measure. “This is yet another example of Trump’s disregard for conventional protocols,” said Senator Ima Critic. “We can’t just have armed civilians as part of a security detail for a former president.” But Trump’s supporters are thrilled by the decision. “This is why we love Trump,” said rally attendee Joe Patriot. “He’s not afraid to think outside the box. Who else would have thought of hiring Rooftop Koreans to protect him? It’s brilliant!” Even the Rooftop Koreans themselves seem to be embracing their new roles with enthusiasm. “We’re honored to be part of this team,” said lead member Kim Jung-Security. “We defended our businesses, and now we’ll defend our president. It’s a natural progression.” The move has also sparked a wave of memes and social media posts, with hashtags like #RooftopTrump and #KoreansToTheRescue trending across platforms. Late-night comedians are having a field day, with some joking that Trump’s next move might be hiring ninja warriors or pirates for additional security. Meanwhile, sales of rooftop-friendly gear and tactical equipment have surged, with many aspiring to emulate the Rooftop Koreans’ iconic style. Gun stores and outdoor shops have reported a spike in demand for high-powered binoculars, long-range rifles, and rooftop hammocks. As the 2024 election season heats up, one thing is certain: Trump’s security detail will be the most talked-about and visually distinctive in modern political history. Whether this unconventional approach will deter future threats or simply add to the spectacle of Trump’s public appearances remains to be seen. In the words of Trump himself, “We’re making security great again – one rooftop at a time.” The post BREAKING: Trump hires Rooftop Koreans to beef up security after Secret Service failure appeared first on Genesius Times.
