Joseph Beuys: Drawings After the Codices Madrid of Leonardo Da Vinci

Joseph Beuys is back in fashion on New York's streets, now that the fashion world has declared that 'grey is the new black'. Grey felt and fur (together with fat, which isn't yet back in fashion) were among Beuys's preferred materials. The German artist, who died in 1986, was among the leading art radicals of the Fluxus movement of the late '60s and early '70s. 'Drawings After the Codices Madrid' is a series of 1974 sketches by Beuys inspired by the Da Vinci notebooks recovered in the '60s and which Beuys saw as symbolising the marriage of science and art - and an opportunity to extend the reach of art beyond the elite.

Greece's most stunning island

Romantic, authentic, and accessible, Santorini is the most beautiful island in Greece's most stunning archipelago, the Cyclades. Plunging cliffs, burning black-sand beaches and deeply scarred hills make the landscape as dramatic as the cataclysm that created it. From about 2000 to 1500BC, one of the most advanced societies in ancient Greece flourished on this island, drinking native wine and producing murals now on display at the National Museum in Athens which show fun-loving sea animals frolicking in the ocean. But in 1500BC a massive volcanic eruption put a stop to all the fun and excitement by burying every sign of civilization beneath millions of tons of lava, thus creating the caldera (basin) that is now Santorini's harbor. In 1976 the excavations, as in Pompeii, unearthed a complete town, except that no bones were found in the excavations; the fate of the Santorinites remains a mystery. A bus tour to the site, which is called Akrotiri includes a visit to the Profitis Ilias monastery which hovers at the top of Santorini's highest peak, and a stop at a winery for local wine-tasting (3000-3500dr).
