Lindholm Høje, Denmark

Lindholm Høje (Lindholm Hills, from Old Norse haugr, hill or mound) is a major Viking burial site and former settlement situated to the north of and overlooking the city of Aalborg in Denmark.

The southern (lower) part of Lindholm Høje dates to 1000 – 1050 AD, the Viking Age, while the northern (higher) part is significantly earlier, dating back to the 5th century AD in the Nordic Iron Age. An unknown number of rocks have been removed from the site over the centuries, many, for example, being broken up in the 19th century for use in road construction.

Centennial Certificate: Metropolitan Museum Of Art, Robert Rauschenberg, 1969, Minneapolis Institute

Centennial Certificate: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Robert Rauschenberg, 1969, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Prints and Drawings

In 1969, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York commissioned Rauschenberg to produce a lithograph commemorating the 100th anniversary of the museum. For this print, he combined representative imagery selected from the Metropolitan’s extensive permanent collection of art. During the project, Rauschenberg learned that the Metropolitan museum’s original goals were detailed in a “certificate” dating to 1870, a document that had been prepared on graph paper. Using this concept, Rauschenberg prepared an updated certificate with his own text, which was then signed by Metropolitan officials, including the museum director, Thomas Hoving. Size: 35 5/8 x 24 3/8 in. (90.49 x 61.91 cm) (image, irregular) Medium: Color lithograph
