FIRST INTERNATIONAL GIRLIE EXHIBIT-Pace, 9 West 57th. Fun and games pop out on the walls, making the Mona Lisa look like a sedate frump and some of Toulouse-Lautrec's old haunts seem like a meeting of mah-jongg players. Ben Johnson's voluptuaries are in the pink, Mel Ramos trots out jungle queens in tiger-skin bikinis, Marjorie Strider shows paintings that project into the 36-Dimension, and Herb Hazelton delights in garish girdles from the Sears, Roebuck catalogue. Andy Warhol's Blue Girlie (9 ft. by 6 ft.) has a room all to herself...
JAMES ROSENQUIST-Green, 15 West 57th. This former billboard painter is quite accustomed to seeing and painting things larger than life: his latest three-dimensional work is unfortunately a gross exaggeration. The flat canvases with their toothy grins and giant tire treads had more shock; his newest "new realism" suffers from artificiality. Through Feb. 8. Down the street at Janis, 15 East 57th, Rosenquist, Jim Dine, George Segal and Claes Oldenburg create "Four Environments." Each artist has a room of his own: Oldenburg, for example, a bedroom, Segal a movie theater. Through...

A grab bag from Santa's other helpers: a black-coiffed, sad-eyed Marisol Doll by Marisol; a block-toy chess set by George Ortman; William King's Pop guns; Lanny Powers' alphabet blocks, in which M stands for Marilyn Monroe. Among the playful creative elves: Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Alexander Calder, Richard Lindner, Richard Anuszkiewicz. Through...
LOVIS CORINTH-Frumkin, 32 East 57th. Sixty self-portraits by the late-blooming German impressionist (1858-1925) offer an authentic study in character. Paintings, prints, drawings and watercolors, ranging from the belabored early works of the artist's 20s to the violent chiaroscuro, powerful brush stroke and emotional fervor of his later years. Through...
Screams in the Air. At Lajes Air Force Base in the Azores, the U.S.'s 57th Air Rescue Squadron also swung into action. Shortly after the Lakonia's last message was received, four C-54 rescue planes swung out over the Atlantic toward the flaming vessel, 3 hr. 30 min. flying time away. The planes were loaded with 42 life rafts that could carry 600 persons, 400 blankets, food and survival packages, flares of 300,000 candlepower, and six paramedics who could jump into the ocean to help passengers, if necessary...
