The article, published on the website of the The art newspaper.com by Sophia Kishkovsky on  19 February 2013 is headlined Putin says Jewish manuscripts should stay in Russia. The article reports at length that the Russian president suggests moving the Schneerson collection to the newly built Jewish Museum in Moscow.  He wants to to avoid a political “stalemate” over restitution.
It is necessary to emphasize that Vladimir Putin suggested that the disputed Schneerson collection of books and manuscripts be transferred to the centre. The author of the article,Sophia Kishkovsky makes it clear that the president has an opinion that sending the collection to the Brooklyn group would open a “Pandora’s box” of restitution claims. What is more Putin said that our country absolutely not ready give these manuscripts.
Analyzing the situation, it is necessary to note the foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, recommended  two Russian agencies sue the US Library of Congress in retaliation for $50,000 a day sanctions against Russia. However, Putin did not mention these actions specifically.
In conclusion the author  reports that  the Moscow branch of Chabad is known for its strong support of Putin, who attended the opening.
It seems to me that This is not such a problem. Russia tries not to lose some value, but I think that we have plenty of other really important and valuable works of art, which we should take care and protect

The article published on the website of the newspaper The New York Times on February 20, 2013 is headlined Banksy Work, Taken From London Wall, Turns Up in Miami, for Auction witten by ALLAN KOZINN
The article reports that the work by the mysterious British graffiti artist Banksy, which is called “Slave Labor (Bunting Boy) was vanished from a wall and turned up at an auction house in Miami. Speaking of this situation it is necessary to note that this picture showed a young boy at an old fashioned sewing machine creating a string of Union Jacks, where the flags were in bright red, white and blue and the rest of the picture was in black, white, grey and sepia. It was  appeared last year during the celebrations commemorating Queen Elizabeth’s 60 years on the throne. The society was taken it as an acerbic social comment, as most of Banksy’s works , and has been regarded as a cultural attraction in the Turnpike Lane neighborhood.
So, it is necessary to point out that Banksy become an art-world celebrity and the subject of a new biography and documentary film, written by Will Ellsworth-Jones.
Analyzing this situation it is necessary to emphasize,  that Fine Art Auctions Miami, where the work has turned up, has included it in a Modern, Contemporary and Street Art sale scheduled and is expecting $500,000 to $700,000 for it.
Giving appraisal of the situation it’s necessary to point out that is was a some kind of mystery how “Slave Labor” made its way to Miami. But the shop, where it originally appeared, has said that it was not involved with the work’s removal. And the auction house is not saying who is selling it, or how it was obtained.
The article draws a conclusion that Fine Art Auctions Miami has done all the necessarily due diligence about the ownership of the work, but they didn't give any information or evidence that the works were removed and acquired illegally.”
As for me, I think that today we live in in a turbulent world, where every day we say many different crimes. Of course this also connected to the medium of art. Therefore, we must develop and improve methods and ways how to protect what we hold dear to us, because there are more and more ways of taking possession of another's property.

Summary

Chapter 1-11

The article "A Comedian as Artist" was published By ROBERTA SMITH on February 8 in New York  Times.  It discussed a works by Andy Kaufman, the famous  television star, who died in 1984. 
The author reports that this person best known for his role  on the popular sitcom “Taxi” in the guise of the loopy auto mechanic Latka Gravas. But the actor  didn’t like the sitcom format and agreed to stay on the show only when the writers allowed Latka to develop multiple-personality disorder so he could play other characters.  It is important to mention that this man was very unusual and  politically incorrect satirist. For example he invited women to wrestle with him onstage or behaved unpredictably on talk shows and  many other outrageous actions.
The second Kaufman is the subject of “On Creating Reality, by Andy Kaufman,” an engrossing, idiosyncratic exhibition at the Maccarone gallery in the West Village. Latka is nowhere in sight. The show has been organized by the artist Jonathan Berger, who makes the relational aesthetics reference in the news release. It comes in two parts, set in separate spaces: Kaufman’s stuff and his art. The main gallery at Maccarone is arrayed with 17 white vitrines with hairpin legs evoking 1950s Long Island, where Kaufman grew up. They display a fascinating range of ephemera and personal effects: letters, childhood poetry, scripts, unpublished novels, press clippings and photographs, tour schedules, props and costumes. This collection consist a various number of strange things. But this behaviour plays his role. Soon the actor lost his popularity.
And now in Maccarone’s new project space, you can view Kaufman’s art and see some of the costumes and props from the vitrines in use. Mainly you will see the unorthodox, versatile talent behind it all. The video segments include appearances at the Improv in New York and on David Letterman’s and Johnny Carson’s shows and many other things, which were closely connected with him. Concurrent with the Maccarone show, “Andy Kaufman’s 99cent Tour,” 10 evenings of screenings and discussions, will be held at Participant Inc. on East Houston Street, starting on Tuesday. Each evening will be overseen by some of the same aficionados appearing at Maccarone, as well as the artists Dan Graham, Mike Smith and David Robbins
To sum up, we see that this person was very interesting and extraordinary. And now he has many fans around the world.
Speaking of this article, I would like to say I know this man from his autobiographical film " The Man in the Moon". Jim Carrey plays the Kaufman's role and he do it to my mind perfectly. And when I read this article I understand that despite his behaviour and unusual humour this person is very popular even today.
