Van Gogh painting found in Milwaukee home
A previously unknown oil on canvas signed with a V was authenticated by the Rijksmuseum after being found hanging in a suburban Milwaukee residence. John Kuhn, a real estate agent and part time art adviser, discovered the work while evaluating antique furniture, prompting experts to confirm it as a 19th century Impressionist piece depicting flowers in a vase. The owners were skeptical at first about the attribution, Kuhn recalled.

Historic District and Inn Pass Hurdle for Aiken Register
The Aiken Winter Colony Historic District II and the Willcox Inn cleared an initial hurdle toward listing on the Aiken Historic Register. The designation, which protects properties within the district, passed the Historic Preservation Commission unanimously on a motion by Commissioner Gregory W. Smith. Boundaries extend from the Southern Railroad right of way to Kershaw Street and Marion Street to the Aiken city limits, with further bounds along South Boundary Avenue, Way Lane, York Street, Grace Avenue, Grace Circle, a sewer casement, Coker Springs Road, and Hitchcock Foundation property. If approved by city council, the Willcox Inn would gain full protection as described.
