...artist, who was born Marisol Escobar in Paris 36 years ago, of Venezuelan parents, studied in New York under the noted abstract expressionist, Hans Hofmann. Her much-sought-after work is in several U.S. museums, including Manhattan's Modern Art and the Whitney. She usually works more slowly than she did on her TIME commission, will spend as much as three months on a single piece in the company of her cairn terrier, Trolli...
...dancing was dashing and vigorous. The audience, which included Princess Margaret and Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, was obviously enthralled. Nureyev's dancing was all primal passion, Fonteyn's all youthful savage grace. Petit's choreography had the clean, square-cut lines and angles of an abstract painting and included some wild acrobatics. At one point, Nureyev executed somersaults while with one hand supporting Fonteyn as she turned in arabesque...
...discussion never really centered around Goldberg personally. It was always more abstract: The Kennedy Institute invited a member of the Johnson Administration to speak off-the-record to small groups as part of its Honorary Associates Program.

They are merely exercises in basic design, similar to those that he requires from his students at Manhattan's Hunter College. He built each piece originally in tiny paper tetrahedrons, octahedrons or dodecahedrons. After that, friends constructed the full-scale mock-ups in plywood and painted them with automobile undercoating...
Massive and abstract, the looming presences are far from neutral. Smith says: "I think of my things as being stable, down-to-earth, ordinary in a sense. I don't want them to be 'An Experience.' " But he is willing to play the game of associating them with experiences. The 6-ft. steel cube known as Die, he explains, can refer to a matrix or mold, but it is also an imperative. In fact, he built it after having been injured in an auto accident, partly to express his rage with the world...
