...three garbage collectors had neatly parked their truck and were en joying a beer break in a Second Avenue saloon. Suddenly they were summoned outside. There on the sidewalk stood the tall, angular figure of John Vliet Lindsay, the mayor of New York City...
...than in Saw Head. He composed Saw Head out of found objects whereas he designed the parts for Structure of Arches ahead of time and fabricated them to fit his design. In addition, Structure of Arches has no organic allusion, as Saw Head does. Structure of Arches is very angular and its conception has an air of calculated, almost scientific, remove. Nonetheless, Structure of Arches has the same illusion of two dimensionality as Saw Head. The total sculpture, in spite of its actual volume, can be seen as a two dimensional composition of flat surface and line because the uniform...
...Victor Millonzi play with the unique relationship between light and space embodied by neon. As Millonzi points out, "Light as sculptural mass can create forms that contain space and light instead of displacing it." Millonzi's work is a carefully balanced contrast between aluminum and flashing neon; first the angular volume of the metal dominates and then the spreading light. Antonakos' sculpture is more complex, with colored fluorescent tubes flashing through a number of different time sequences. The sketches show how the timing is programmed and reveal the way the sculpture was planned to relate to its surroundings. Here...
...ballistic flight. By measuring the changing intensity of X rays detected by the scanner and coordinating the scanner with the camera, Giacconi's group was able to locate Scorpio's X-ray source about 1,000 times as accurately as any previous studies. They also determined the angular size of the radiating object itself, and concluded that the X-ray source would probably appear as a bluish, starlike object of the 13th magnitude (visible with a 6-in. telescope...
Where did it all lead? To the experts, of course. Shown a photograph of the painting, Boston Museum of Fine Arts Assistant Curator Thomas N. Maytham noting the massive angular shapes, suggested that "one black blotch may represent the profile of the President's head, a very direct and specific depiction of the most brutal moment of the tragedy, when Kennedy was struck by the bullet. The lines near the 'pro file,' " he said, "represent either the trajectory of the bullets or spatters of blood. It is hideous in one sense," he concluded, "because it doesn...
