Some elves with names like Calder, Feininger, Marisol and Jones have in recent years and months been busy making Christmas toys, and this week their work fills Manhattan's Betty Parsons Gallery. Anyone with, say, $5,000 left in his Christmas Club kick will be able to pick up a lot of things like they don't have at F.A.O. Schwarz-not that the kids wouldn't rather have a bikini for their Barbie doll...
...selected from 889 entries gathered from the Southwest-which he decreed to be bordered roughly by the Mississippi River on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. He has acquired art of quality, whether it be a torso from ancient Greece, The Walking Man by Rodin, a Calder stabile, or a 23-ft.-long carved crocodile from New Guinea. And he sometimes exhibits things just to keep Houston up to date with the latest fads. Last week, in the big hall designed by Mies van der Rohe that forms a wing of the original Greek revival building...

At the spectrum's other extremity are a few novelists to whom the South itself is a vast, febrile malevolence. Among these, on the evidence of Eternal Fire, is Calder Willingham, 40, a Georgia expatriate who now lives in New Hampshire...
...four are by no means the only places in Manhattan to buy a masterwork. For certain living masters-Miró, Giacometti or Balthus, for instance-the place to go is the gallery owned by Pierre Matisse, son of Painter Henri Matisse. The Perls Galleries represent Calder and Archipenko, and they do a reputable business in "painters of the Picasso generation" like Braque, Modigliani, Soutine and Utrillo. Catherine Viviano on East 57th Street is strong on modern Italians like Afro and Cremonini, but she also represents the surrealist Kay Sage and the estate of Max Beckmann...
