...least a dozen better-than-average sculptors are currently building next-to-invisible sculptures. Iowa's Hans Breder structures plastic and chrome-plated cubes into flashing games of chance. Minnesota's Robert Israel inflated interest at Manhattan's Whitney Museum with an immense sausage-shaped bubble of clear vinyl that wallowed about an entire, blue-spotlit room. Even Louise Nevelson, the Marianne Moore of modern American sculpture, has won new fans with a current exhibit consisting of the famed Nevelson wall constructions done no longer in wood but in clear Plexiglas...

...this month with 32 works at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa (see color opposite). Gifted with pop art's most facile brush, Rosenquist was a smash with his first Manhattan show in 1962. His huge, bold panoramas combine the photo-simulated faces, glossily glamorized foods and chrome-plated gadgetry of Madison Avenue in weird compositions where objects seem to float off the canvas. In their own way, they are also a wry celebration of the way Americans view their kandy-kolored environment...

...work classified as either abstract or figurative, dislikes even having it pinned down as either "large" or "small." All that he is prepared to concede is that he spends at least eight hours a day pounding, twisting and welding together the sheets and found scraps of steel, aluminum, chrome, tin and copper that jam to overflowing the two back-to-back garages he uses as a studio on Chicago's North Cleveland Street...

Handsome and gregarious in an industry that shies away from chrome in its brass, Cole has also been known to urge subordinates to "kick hell out of the status quo," as he himself has done with a remarkable ability to survive. It was no secret that Cole was not enthusiastic about Donner's ban on using G.M. models in racing. And in 1964, Cole bent an arrow-straight G.M. tradition when he was divorced and re married. His second wife, Dollie Ann, 37, who last year presented Cole with a son (he has two children by his previous marriage...

...Caps & Waste Gates. There are many new cosmetic touches. Dodge's Charger has fake air vents on both hood and front doors, which the company calls "simulated waste gates." The Charger also has a large chrome gas cap protruding from the rear bumper-an effect inspired by racing cars and called a "quick fill gas cap." The Pontiac Tempest GTO has a rubberized front bumper that resists dents to about 3 m.p.h. impact-which would not do the average driver much good. And the new Plymouth station wagon has a "squeegee washer/wiper," which cleans the rear window when...
