'Sacred Spain'doesn't disappoint
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — El Greco's vision of the veil of Veronica hangs near a golden crown with 447 emeralds, just a few steps away, a recumbent sculpture of the crucified Jesus Christ rests before its return to a Spanish hermitage in time for Holy Week.
"Sacred Spain: Art and Belief in the Spanish World" at the Indianapolis Museum of Art is drawing visitors from around the world for an unprecedented exhibition of 71 pieces from 45 lenders — many of them private — in Spain, Mexico, Peru and other countries. Madrid's Prado has loaned five works alone.
The free exhibition, which continues through Jan. 3, has thrilled experts and other visitors alike. Harvard Art Museum curator and cultural historian Ivan Gaskell said it inspired him intellectually like no other exhibition he has seen this year.
I was moved by the totality of the exhibition, by the selection," Gaskell said.
First conceived more than a decade ago and more than three years in development, the exhibit won't travel beyond Indianapolis. Many pieces must return to convents and parishes in time for Lenten observances that begin Feb. 17.
Others rarely go on public display at all. A private collector loaned the golden Crown of the
Andes, originally cast three to four centuries ago to adorn a statue of the Virgin Mary in a Colombian cathedral. It's reputed to be the oldest and largest collection of emeralds in the world.
"Sacred Spain" reunites Juan de Valdes Leal's twin paintings "Allegory of Vanity" and "Allegory of Salvation," which had been separated since they were sold at auction in 1938. They're the first works the visitor encounters as Kasl introduces the exhibition with a gallery called "In Defense of Images."
"The owners of the objects want them back," exhibition curator Ronda Kasl said.
"It's not enough for art to be beautiful. It also has to be useful, devotional," Kasl said.

Judge throws out libel case against Dixie Chicks singer
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The Dixie Chicks can't be sued for libel by the stepfather of one of three 8-year old boys killed in Arkansas 15 years ago because singer Natalie Maines based her statements on legal documents she believed were true a federal judge ruled
The band was sued by Terry
Hobbs, whose stepson Stevie Branch was one of three 8-year-old boys slain in 1993.
Hobbs claimed Maines accused him of the killings in a letter posted on the band's Web site and in comments she made at a Little Rock rally in 2007 in support of the three men convicted in the deaths.

Vegas waitress alleges affair with Tiger Woods
ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods didn't have to say a word to get Florida troopers off his case.The same strategy may be harder to pull off when it comes to the tabloid media probing his private life.
The police inquiry into the early morning car crash involving
the world's most famous athlete came to a close Tuesday, even though Woods refused to talk to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Woods was charged with careless driving, which carries a $164 fine and four points on his driving record.
That good news for Woods was tempered by the cover story of Us Weekly magazine, which hits newstands Wednesday, alleging that a Los Angeles cocktail waitress had a 31-month affair with
the world's No.1 golfer.
Jaimie Grubbs told the magazine she met Woods at a Las Vegas nightclub the week after the 2007 Masters — two months before Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, gave birth to their first child.
Grubbs claims to have proof in 300 text messages, and the magazine said it would release a voice mail message that Woods left for Grubbs last week on its Web site Wednesday.
Woods, meanwhile, remained in seclusion in the exclusive gated community of Isleworth, while some of the world's top golfers were in Southern California preparing for the start of a tournament he hosts.
Woods, citing injuries from the crash, issued a statement Monday saying he would not attend or play in the Chevron World Challenge.
