Alfred Conteh's “Our Greatest Inheritance” Dedication | Peoria Riverfront Museum
Alfred Conteh’s piece “Our Greatest Inheritance” is finally revealed!
This beautiful piece, the first that Conteh has ever created on a subject not from his home base in Atlanta, Georgia, features a family from our city, the city of gratitude: Peoria, Illinois.
The massive 10x7-foot painting also marks the first time that the Peoria Riverfront Museum will commission a nationally recognized artist.
See the painting in person at the Peoria Riverfront Museum! Plan your visit on our website today: RiverfrontMuseum.org
The Alfred Conteh documentary, The Unseen Majority, is sponsored by Oak River Foundation, and Ron Givens and Family.
The acquisition of Alfred Conteh’s portrait, Our Greatest Inheritance (2024), is made possible by an initial gift from Ron Givens and family, with major support from the Peoria Riverfront Museum’s Anniversary Fund established in honor of guest curator Bill Heidrich, Oak River Foundation, Josh and Danette Swank, Brian and Erica Ray, and Andrew Muir.
Additional support provided by Gretchen Hagen Petrakis, Derrick Booth and Jehan Gordon-Booth, Family of Erma Davis, Aaron and Amanda Kilgore and Family, John Heintzman and Jeff Heintzman, Rosemary McCullough in memory of her mother, Geraldine Mitchell, Sally Snyder, and Joe and Sharon Montgomery and Family in honor of Everley Davis.

    I have a few pieces but no one is interested, why? I am in Algeria, and here almost no one is interested in science, much less in archeology and other research. If I tell you that a driver with us is better paid than an architect or an engineer; hard to admit, but it's the truth. Consequently, I am ready to hand over my collection to a museum so that humankind can benefit from it. Some pieces are out of the ordinary, and have signs, others have rare calligraphies that only specialists can decipher.

    Some years ago I purchased several cards in a flea market for few money. President Grant, Charles Darwin, several Russian czars, and even one signed by Charles Dickens. I still have to send this card to be evaluated. If the signature real, the card is quite rare and valuable. I found out in auctions in the last years similar cards were sold for 10k dollars (although the estimation was somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5k). Now I go very carefully through all cards in flea markets 😊

    These guys need to read Ben Lewis's book, the Last Leonardo. This curator Heidrich is just floundering around without all the facts. For instance, the National Gallery never should have shown a painting like this which was clearly for sale. There never really was the consensus among experts that these guys assume. It was 50 percent Leonardo and 50 percent his students. Essentially the whole face is the product of the "restorer"s hand. The work was supposed to be done by her husband, but he got sick and died. She had a mini=nervous breakdown and this is the result. Contrary to good practices in restoration, no record of Diane M's restoration was ever produced. Read Lewis's book. Don't listen to these guys.

  • @Robocop-qe7le
    @Robocop-qe7le Рік тому

    This is a fraud. The picture itself is not great but terrrible, actually the restoration painting over is very poorly done. The wonky eyes, the chipmunk jaws, the thick nose, leafy lips, unrealistic orb, dead wrong values and bad hair day make this painting at best made by one of the acquaintances of Leonardo. A pretty bad and unexperienced one actually.

    I live in midwestern Wisconsin and recently uncovered some interesting things. All of the fossils I’ve found are COVERED with these things! I’m looking for someone to help me but everyone says it’s impossible to find anything here because the glaciers wiped everything out. Im not crazy! I know what I’m finding is real. If you’re interested in seeing some things I’ve found, please reach out!
