  Colonial New York
This was one cause that determined the English on the conquest of New Amsterdam.
New York now became a royal colony, and the new king, who at heart despised popular government, refused to sign the Charter of Liberties, abolished the New York assembly, and sent Andros to govern the colony as consolidated with New England and New Jersey.
News of the accession of William and Mary and of the imprisonment of Andros at Boston created a great excitement in New York; and the militia, led by Jacob Leisler, a German merchant, took possession of the government.

The government of the new colony was carried on by Governor, or "Director General," Minuit and a council of five appointed by the company in Holland.
They blamed Kieft for the pitiful condition of the colony, begged that a new governor be sent them and that the people be given some voice in the government, or that they be permitted to return with their wives and children to their dear fatherland.
After two or three years' dispute with the people of New England, he agreed with them to fix the western boundary of Connecticut about where it now is, and the Dutch from this time ceased to disturb the peace of the Connecticut Valley.

 Amsterdam/New York Exhibition of Drawings Van Gogh Made After He Vowed Never to Paint Again - Associated Content
That’s the title of the exhibition which features over 100 drawings by the artist, some of which are series that have never been shown in their entirety before.
Let’s hope he has been, because there’s still no clue as to what happened to the painting after the man, who paid a total of USD82.5 million for it at Christies in New York in 1990, died.
The missing painting is very much a disaster, all the more because it showed a new direction that van Gogh was heading for.

 Journal: New York/Amsterdam
I had just read a review by Michael Kimmelman in the New York Times and was extremely curious to see the new digitally made inkjet prints of familiar Evans images.
His work was about the image, a thing that exists in another dimension--connected, of course, to the print--but ultimately residing elsewhere: in the moment of exposure, in the mind's eye of the photographer, in the historical and cultural distance of the things and people photographed.
The brochure accompanying the exhibit described the new prints as similar to old music played on modern instruments, and I think there is merit in that analogy.
