The recent Exhibition of works of Greek art held at the Burlington Fine Arts Club—although necessarily limited to comparatively small objects—has been sufficient to prove that the traditional wealth of our English collections of classical antiquities still remains a fact. The Exhibition, moreover, has had its use in eliciting information as to works of art on a larger scale, hitherto unknown and unrecorded, that had escaped the vigilance of Waagen and of Conze, of Michaelis and of Furtwängler, and even of our English archaeologists. Thus it was that when the Exhibition was little more than planned I learnt from the well known sculptor, Countess Feodora Gleichen, that there existed at Lyme Park, Lord Newton's Cheshire seat, three fine sculptured Stelai from the best period of Attic art. I am grateful to the owner for granting me permission to publish these inedited works in this Journal, which ought indeed to be the official gazette of the English collections. I have unfortunately been unable to avail myself as yet of Lord Newton's further permission to study the originals. But as photographs of the Stelai are now extant, I have thought it wiser not to postpone the publication for fear that it might be anticipated elsewhere. The information kindly given me by Lord Newton himself has facilitated the discussion and interpretation of the Stelai which, for the rest, are perfectly straightforward examples of their class.

This paper does not pretend to be the result of original research, but to be rather a compilation of the various identifications of bronze or marble portrait heads as kings of the great dynasties of the Hellenistic period, that different archaeologists have proposed from time to time. In the course of my study of the evolution of later Greek art, I proceeded from studying the series of coins of the Hellenistic dynasties to examine the portraits identified by means of the coins. I hoped by that method to obtain surer ground for the succession of styles in the period. But there is so much uncertainty and often complete contradiction as regards the identification of the portraits, that so far a study of the portraits has yielded little. Many of the heads identified as kings are not kings at all. In fact there exists too great a tendency to believe that every fine individual portrait must be that of a king or some other great man. Private portraits must have been even more plentiful than royal portraits, and as works of art would stand an equal chance of preservation.

Biographers have largely ignored Louis Pasteur's many and varied connections with art and artists. This article is the second in a series of the authors' studies of Pasteur's friendships with artists. This research project has uncovered data that enlarge the great medical chemist's biography, throwing new light on a variety of topics including his work habits, his social life, his artistic sensibilities, his efforts to lobby on behalf of his artist friends, his relationships to their patrons and to his own patrons, and his use of works of art to foster his reputation as a leader in French medical science. In a prior article, the authors examined his unique working relationship with the Finnish painter Albert Edelfelt and the creation of the famous portrait of Pasteur in his laboratory in the mid-1880s. The present study documents his especially warm friendship with three French artists who came from Pasteur's home region, the Jura, or from neighboring Alsace. A forthcoming study gives an account of his friendships with Max Claudet and Paul Dubois, both of whom made important images of Pasteur, and it offers further illustrations of his devotion to the fine arts.

Abstract: Buildings and monuments are among the most important works of art. But the conception of the arts that emerged in the 18th century, and remained the orthodoxy in philosophy for about two centuries, either excludes architecture from the fine arts or relegates it to the intermediate or decorative arts. This essay addresses this puzzle, assesses the truth in certain formalist doctrines about architecture, and advances the view that works of art are organic unities, i.e. integrated sets of solutions to various problems, some aesthetic and others technical, mathematical, theological, political, etc.Key words: art, architecture, aesthetics, formalism.Resumen: Los edificios y monumentos se encuentran entre las obras de arte más importantes. Pero la concepción de las artes que surgió en el siglo XVIII y permaneció como la ortodoxia en la filosofía durante aproximadamente dos siglos excluye la arquitectura de las bellas artes, o la relega a las artes intermedias o decorativas. El presente ensayo aborda este enigma, evalúa la verdad en ciertas doctrinas formalistas sobre la arquitectura, y avanza la opinión de que las obras de arte son unidades orgánicas, es decir, conjuntos integrados de soluciones a diversos problemas, algunos estéticos y otros técnicos, matemáticos, teológicos, políticos, etc.Palabras clave: arte, arquitectura, estética, formalismo.

Abstract. The article is devoted to the issues of scientific restoration of works of decorative and applied art in the system of art education at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture. The processes of formation and improvement of the experience of the artist-restorer for the preservation of historical and cultural monuments are defined. The importance of solving the cultural and professional development of the future artist-restorer in the field of restoration of works of decorative and applied art is emphasized. The topic studied by the author raises a number of issues of the methodology of studying works of decorative and applied arts in the research work of future artists-restorers. The purpose of the study is to develop and substantiate basic theoretical know­ledge in the field of research, restoration, conservation and storage of works of decorative and applied arts from metal, ceramics and organic materials. Training of restoration specialists is carried out in various educational and scientific institutions of Ukraine. At the present stage of development of scientific restoration, this industry needs innovative approaches and updating of old methods. Thus, at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture you can get a specialty artist-restorer of monumental painting, artist-restorer of sculptures and decorative arts from metal, ceramics, organic materials (fabrics, leather and bone). Restoration occupies the most important place in museum work and combines a set of knowledge and skills that provide storage of works of art made of metal, ceramics and organic materials. Disciplines on the restoration of sculpture and works of decorative and applied art are part of the training of specialists in the specialty «Restoration of works of art» within the acquisition of practical skills in research, restoration, conservation and storage. Training of future artists-restorers in the system of higher professional education taking into account modern requirements of conservation and restoration is based on such principles as scientific, connection of theory with practice should be carried out on authentic monuments — museum exhibits that promotes formation of professional competences, acquisition of professional experience, responsible attitude to historical and cultural monuments. The obtained results deepen the idea of research methods, restoration and conservation of works of decorative and applied arts from metal, ceramics and organic materials. Theoretical provisions are important at the problem-theoretical level, because the training of restorers requires a strong scientific and methodological base.

The purpose of the article is to investigate the mechanisms of sponsorship in the marketing of art in the art market in order to expand the opportunities for the population to visit institutions and events in the field of culture and art, where works of fine art are displayed. It is determined that in the field of fine arts sponsorship has certain features, because the sponsor provides assistance, strengthening its image, receiving advertising and PR. In addition, the desire of sponsors to make their own demands on the content and conditions of placement and demonstration of art collections is becoming a trend. The research methodology is to apply empirical and comparative methods. This approach allows us to reveal and analyze the possibility of applying the specifics of sponsorship as a technology to ensure public access to works of art in art marketing. The scientific novelty of the article is to identify marketing mechanisms that make it possible to make sponsorship in the field of fine arts comprehensively justified, regulated, fair and legal. Conclusions. We analyzed the conditions and opportunities for sponsorship, as well as opportunities for broad sections of the population to access works of art in Ukraine and other countries. It should be noted that there is a tendency in the world to "settle" famous works of art in private collections, to which only a limited number of spectators have access. Collections of state museums remain freely available to the general public, most of whom do not now have the opportunity to purchase very expensive works of art at auctions and galleries. Sponsorship in the field of art has its own specifics, because often the sponsor often not only demonstrates his help to museums, strengthening his image, reputation, but also tries to "dictate" museums and galleries their requirements for organizing museum exhibitions, the sequence of acquisition of new works in museum collections. Marketing technologies allow to regulate the work between sponsors and cultural institutions, to make this cooperation reasonable and fair. According to the experience of the countries of the world, the most effective type of "cultural economy" depending on the mechanisms of financing culture and art can be called "Anglo-American" type, where financing is carried out by attracting private capital, including tax benefits.

The purpose of the article. Research and analysis of marketing technology algorithms and study of motivations of purchasers of products of fine arts. The methodology is to apply comparative, empirical, and theoretical methods. This methodological approach allows us to analyze the motivations of purchasers of works of fine art and further research of marketing processes in the promotion of works of fine art in the art market. The scientific novelty consists in the expansion of ideas about the motivations of purchasers of works of fine art. The article explores the marketing processes in the art market. Algorithms of marketing technologies in the analysis of motivations of purchasers of works of fine arts are analyzed. That is, the article proves that in art marketing it is relevant and necessary to regularly study the algorithms of the behavior of purchasers of works of art, as well as in general - situations in which the collector decides on the purchase of works of art. Research in the field of art market marketing gives grounds to state that artistic creativity is a field of large and small business, which should deeply study and analyze the motivations of purchasers, involving specialists in psychology, sociology, economics. It should be noted that in the marketing of fine arts the technologies of studying and analyzing the motivations of the purchasers of works of art are purposefully and productively used. Conclusions. The article analyzes the models of acquisition of works of fine art. It is also proved that the behavior of the purchaser of works of art is determined by three mandatory components: Individual - Product - Situation, on which the model of consumption and consumer behavior is based. Thus, we have studied the individuals involved in the acquisition of works of art that are products on the market, presented in kind in museums or private collections. The success of art marketing depends not only on the personality of the artist who created the product presented on the market, not only on the solvency of the final purchaser of this product but also on the personality, creative and business qualities of dealers, distributors, and other intermediaries in the art market. At a certain stage, they also become purchasers of this product on the way from the artist to the final buyer - a museum or a private collector, etc. We also explored market algorithms for acquiring works of art in a collection.

"Local" consumption of art projects and motivation of the "local" consumers The purpose of the article. Research and analysis of consumer motivations of fine arts products, based on algorithms of marketing technologies. The research methodology is to apply comparative, empirical, and theoretical methods. This methodological approach allows us to analyze the motivations of consumers of works of art who prefer to be fascinated by fine arts through the Internet, social networks, television programs, followed by the use of research results in marketing processes to promote works of art in the art market. The scientific novelty lies in the expansion of ideas about the motivation of consumers of the market of fine arts on the Internet, television programs, and in the study of further marketing processes in the art market.

The article identifies the features of the concept of "split personality", "multiple personality", "dualism of personality", namely, considers the variety of interpretations of this phenomenon and identifies possible causes of this psychological state. Also in this work the characteristic of the nature of this phenomenon both in general, and in various kinds of art, namely: in the literature, cinematography and fine arts has been carried out. The peculiarities of the phenomenon of "personality bifurcation" are established and the traits, character, behavior, appearance, emotional state and age of people with this disorder are determined. The reason for the popularity of using the phenomenon of "personality dichotomy" in art is revealed. The ways of implementing the idea of violating the integrity of the characters "I", which are developed in literary works, cinematography and fine arts, are compared. An analysis of the problem of split personality in combination with a source of inspiration for artists in the film industry, literature and fine arts, as well as clarified this feature, the regularity of which is that most works of art are based on real biographical stories. The study shows the chronological sequence of development of the theme of dualistic personality in art. The article establishes the connection between literary creativity and the art of cinematography in the context of depicting characters with the problem of the bifurcated spectrum. Also, a comparison of films and literary works with the idea of a dualistic personality. For a better understanding of the material, conclusions were drawn about the peculiarities of the image of the phenomenon of bifurcation of personality in different fields of art. This topic is insufficiently studied today, as the phenomenon of variable, bifurcated personality is rarely used in various arts, and also raises many controversial issues related to determining the cause of bifurcation itself. However, the image of this phenomenon is gaining popularity in many arts, which is why this article was devoted to the study of the interpretation of the phenomenon of bifurcation of personality in the film industry, literature and fine arts.

The purpose of the article. Research and analysis of algorithms of marketing technologies in the art market by studying the motivations of symbolic consumers of fine arts, namely, individuals who consume products of fine arts through symbolic appropriation. The research methodology is to apply comparative, empirical, and theoretical methods. This methodological approach allows us to analyze the motivations of symbolic consumers of works of art with the subsequent use of research results in the marketing processes of promoting works of art in the art market. The scientific novelty lies in the expansion of ideas about the motivations of symbolic consumers of the fine arts market and in the study of further marketing processes in it. The article analyzes the algorithms of marketing technologies in the analysis of motivations of symbolic consumers of the fine arts market. The article establishes that in the marketing of fine arts it is relevant and necessary to study the behavior of symbolic consumers of works of art as Individuals through the analysis of types of symbolic Consumers, as well as through the analysis of situations of symbolic consumption of works of art as a symbolically appropriated Product at the art market while viewing works of art in exhibition halls. Based on research in the field of art market marketing, we can say that artistic creativity is an area of activity of non-profit public and private museums, gallery and exhibition institutions, as well as large and small businesses, which should professionally analyze consumer motivations, which in turn makes it possible to highly segment consumers of works of fine art in accordance with their motivations. Conclusions. The article defines and analyzes the model of consumption of fine arts by symbolic appropriation, and, accordingly, describes the group (segment) of consumers. We are talking about symbolic consumption, which is associated with the possibility of obtaining aesthetic pleasure through the symbolic appropriation of the work without material possession. It is also proved that consumer behavior in art marketing is determined by three mandatory components: Individual - Product - Situation. It is on these components that the types of motivation are formed, on which the model of consumption and consumer behavior is built. Thus, we have studied individuals who consume works of art, which in turn are products presented in exhibition halls, and we have studied the situations of consumption of works of art that are consumed by symbolic appropriation in exhibitions. Key words: art market, marketing research, motivation of consumers of works of art, symbolic consumption of works of art, behavior of consumers of art market.
