...installations. At least that's true of Schnabel's brand of oil painting, in which buckets of pigment are applied to vast tarpaulins, sails and boxing-ring mats. His retrospective, "Julian Schnabel Paintings 1978-2003," at the Schirn Museum until April 25, has attracted more ink than anything since Christo wrapped up the Reichstag. Paint could hardly find a more forceful salesman. Schnabel's wide-ranging postmodern repertoire offers something for almost everybody to like, though of course he has high-level, high-volume detractors. In Frankfurt, Schnabel and his Basque wife, Olatz, a stunning former model, were feted like...
...much as €73,453 a year for their employees to read them. What's next? Dixon says he'd love to expand to the U.S., but "we're not in any hurry."

Among her most famous installations is the Tarot Garden--a park in Garavicchio, Italy, featuring 22 monumental pieces inspired by tarot card characters...
...mysterious Frenchmen Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, better known as Daft Punk, have finally released their second album, Discovery. Fans of the duo’s infectious brand of disco-house music, which was exhibited so successfully on 1996’s Homework, won’t be disappointed. The first single, “One More Time,” which has topped the charts throughout Europe, is, in a sense, the perfect mainstream dance track. With its electronically-disguised vocals (which inspired hits like Eiffel 65’s “Blue?...
...With tunes by the Beatles, the Who and the Rolling Stones forming a ubiquitous soundtrack, "Les Années Pop" is not so much an art exhibition as what in the '60s was called a happening. The sheer three-dimensionality of it - Christo's plastic-wrapped bicycle, César's compressed automobiles, Claes Oldenburg's Store with its huge floppy pie and ice-cream cone, the aluminum-foil recreation of Andy Warhol's Factory - signals that this is a show to be experienced rather than just observed. Similarly, the inclusion of consumer products - from Yves Saint Laurent's Mondrian...
