Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art brings to the United States 90 of the most exemplary dutch works of art from the 17th century including masterwork paintings by Jan Steen, Franz Hals, Jacob van Ruisdael, Meindert Hobbema, Rachel Ruysch, Jan van Goyen, Govert Flinck, Willem Claesz Heda, and 14 works by Rembrandt van Rijn.

This marks the first time these works have been out from their home: the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam while it is closed for remodeling.

The exhibition runs from January 28 through May 6, 2007 at the Phoenix Museum of Art

The exhibition Bad Art for Bad People by Jake and Dinos Chapman at Tate Liverpool has stirred controversy because of its explicit sexual content.

Family values groups have branded the exhibition “irresponsible” - saying children could be mentally scarred by seeing such images. Dr Adrian Rogers, chairman of the campaign group Family Focus said: “Failing to impose an age limit of 18 on such a piece is highly irresponsible.

“The artists and the Tate are obviously aiming to shock people with the pornographic content of this exhibition without thinking of the consequences.

Bad Art for Bad People opens December 15th at Tate Liverpool.
