Next on the Art Channel

By Art Authority February 25, 2016 ,

 

We’re happy to announce the next show on our Apple TV Art Channel. “Easter Story” joins our recently announced “Valentine’s Day Inspirations” and “Highest Priced” shows, along with older favorites like “All-time Highlights” and a great selection of period shows. “Easter Story” includes almost 700 years worth of paintings from Botticelli, Fra Angelico and of course Da Vinci’s Last Supper. Plus much more.

We’re also pleased to announce that monthly subscriptions are now available to the Art Channel, which give you access to art well beyond what’s in the free and preview shows available for everyone. And videos. Even better, subscriptions are only 99 cents per month, and there’s a 7-day free trial. So we’re hoping you’ll sign up today.

By Art Authority February 16, 2016

 

We are pleased to announce Art Authority for iPad version 4.10.1. Here’s what’s new:

  • Increased resolution for iPad Pro. If you have an iPad Pro, check out in particular the thumbnail arrays.
  • Spotlight search now includes titles of previously-viewed works. Once you’ve viewed a work in the app, any Spotlight search you do (from the iPad’s home screen) will include that work’s title in the list, letting you jump directly to that work in the app. You can also search by artist, location and period.
  • Many additional works (now 100,000+), artists (1500+), and locations (900+). Thanks especially to our interns here. New artists have been added based on our ongoing study of the Western world’s most significant ones.
  • New subject: Shakespeare. Being based in Ashland, Oregon, home of the world-renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival, it was about time we did this!
