Nixon's trophy: agony for Tom Oliphant...
...letter G and splashed it on upside down in brown against bright yellow canvas. Then he hung the stencil itself on the fabric-also upside down. A handy whisk broom was slapped onto another tapestry. Working on a third, Miró's eye lit upon an empty paint bucket; he rammed it into the composition then, as an afterthought, added a fake spill of paint made of canvas. He proposed scorching certain areas to darken the hemp, and soon the studio flared with gouts of kerosene fires, quickly lit then doused...
