EMILE NOLDE and ERNST KIRCHNER-Auslander, 929 Madison Ave. at 74th. For anyone who missed the Museum of Modern Art's Nolde retrospective last year, this small sampling (some 20 works) offers another look at his brooding landscapes and blazing watercolors. A fellow German expressionist, Ernst Kirchner, is seen in six works. Through...
...74th happy return, the gifts included: 1) a cigarette box made from the newly dismantled Polo Grounds' foul pole; 2) four Polo Grounds seats, the same row in which he and his wife sat when they met in 1923; 3) a portable TV; 4) a color TV; and 5) a traveling case. There was a sextet of visiting Dodgers who rendered a birthday stanza more or less to the tune of The Band Played On. What more could a guy want?

ROBERT INDIANA-Stable, 33 East 74th. Like the young visionary Hart Crane, who saw the Brooklyn Bridge from his window 40 years ago and hymned it in verse, Robert Indiana, painter of the American Dream, sees the bridge every day from his studio.

Heinz, Campbell's, Mott's and Kellogg's. Warhol himself, with help, squeegeed the color onto the boxes, wrapped them in brown paper to be carted to the gallery, and planned their arrangement in towering tiers. Lest viewers think it's just another...
RICHARD STANKIEWICZ-Stable, 33 East 74th. Dada takes the credit, but the ability to look at trash and find something of esthetic value begins with children. As a child, Stankiewicz played in a foundry dump; today he leads the sculptors who make assemblages of junk. Scavenging in scrapyards, rusting and welding the iron and steel he finds, he makes figures and abstractions. Says he: "I take something already degenerating, discarded, and then I make something beautiful of it. It should hit people over the head and make them ask, 'What is beauty?' " Through April...
