Meanwhile, out on trendy South Beach, Dutch businessman Ger Vrielink is busy sorting a barrage of faxes from German catalog clients waiting for pictures from the latest fashion shoots. With six photography teams out, at $20,000 per team per day, he is a happy man. "There is no place in the world shooting more fashion than Miami today," he says, beaming, between calls...
...Lawrence's series delivers a rebuke to current fictions of cultural separatism -- "It's a black thing; you wouldn't understand" -- so does its encouragement by New York's liberal white culture; it is worth remembering (and is documented at some length in the Phillips catalog) that the Migration series could not have been done without several grants from the Rosenwald Fund, instigated by Locke, and might never have acquired a public life without the determined backing of the art dealer Edith Halpert...

With a circulation of 400,000, the catalog offers everything for the energy-efficient home, including composting toilets, solar radios and wind generators in addition to solar equipment. Hot-selling items include fold-up solar panels the size of a briefcase that can power laptop computers.
