This was a week of discovery at HuffPost Arts; we were wowed by the ancient statue of Hercules unearthed in Northern Israel, as well as the cache of silent film scores found in the archives at the Birmingham Central Library. It was also a week of drama; Shepard Fairey told the gritty details of street art and politics behind his recent ambush in Copenhagen, and Steve Reich removed the controversial cover art from his new album. Despite all of the drama, images of beauty managed to shine through with an exhibition of Steve McCurry's iconic photographs. These were our highlights of the week; what were yours?
