...that same apartment are the requisite halogen lamp, Ikea or Conran's furniture, and the keys to the new Volkswagen (farfigwhat?). Less slick than Scandinavian, more comfortable than Bauhaus, Gapified design does not produce spaces to come home to, but spaces to come visit...
...line," wrote Paul Klee back in the days of the Bauhaus, "likes to go for a walk." This is true of Marden's paintings, which at first sight seem to consist of nothing but line, moving across the surface in an improvised way full of checks, turnings, erasures -- a maze making itself. The nature of the line is intimately involved with the tool Marden uses, which is in effect the ailanthus twig writ large: a long-handled brush with flitchlike bristles, floppy rather than stiff, whose ramblings convey an air of reflective uncertainty. Not for Marden the forceful calligraphic rush...
...albeit a box the size of a museum? Led by Jean Clair, the director of the Musee Picasso in Paris, six curators have set out to raise and question the ghosts of the queen cities of Modernism: Paris, Berlin and New York -- with detours to London, Weimar (for the Bauhaus), Cologne (for Dada) and Moscow (for Constructivism) -- in the decade between the end of World War I and the arrival of the 1929 Depression...

...time when craft is flourishing, and when the Bauhaus' straight lines have been tied in postmodern knots, Tiffany's plummy palate, iridescent surfaces and flowing shapes are attracting record museum throngs and stratospheric auction prices. "Masterworks" was the most popular exhibit ever at the Smithsonian Institution's Renwick Gallery in Washington; some 225,000 people visited it during its five-month stay. At Christie's a pond- lily glass table lamp brought $550,000, a record auction price for a Tiffany work...
