This year the results are often tonic, enjoyable and full of hope. Some shoots of real vitality have been emerging from the conceptual rubble of late modernism. Although there is nostalgia for the arid pieties of yesteryear-Peter Lodato's two blank 11-ft.-high rectangles at the Whitney, for instance-the general tone is unsystematic, quirkish and opposed to movements. So much so, indeed, that curatorial bias gets in the way. No one is likely to miss minimal art, but the total exclusion of color-field painting reflects as much bigotry as its absolute dominance did ten years...

None of those steps will make an indelible imprint on the economy, but taken together they show that the new Administration intends to translate the program outlined during the presidential campaign...
