This is one of those things you might never believe if somebody told you, and yet even when faced with the evidence in photos, video, or Google Maps, you find yourself questioning reality (and maybe shaking off a serious case of the heebie jeebies). Welcome to Nagoro, a small village tucked into the valleys of Shikoku, Japan, a place where old residents are being replaced by life-sized dolls.
The work is part of a project by longtime resident and artist Ayano Tsukimi who returned to the village after an 11-year absence to discover many of her old neighbors and friends had left for larger cities or simply passed away. The town itself is dying with a dwindling population of about 35 people.
Hungarian art historian Gergely Barki poses in front ‘Sleeping Lady With a Black Vase’ by Robert Bereny in Budapest on Nov. 27. The long-lost avant-garde masterpiece has returned home to Hungary after nine decades, thanks Barki’s spotting it in ‘Stuart Little.’
This could only happen in a Hollywood movie: A silly kiddie flick about a mouse, Stuart Little, led to the recovery of a lost Hungarian masterpiece not seen since 1928.
Now it’s about to fetch as much as a quarter-million dollars at auction in Budapest, where it was created and where it will perhaps return for good.
