One is an Henri Laurens reclining nude, called Esquisse d'Automne, whose raised arm and leg form what has already become one of U.C.L.A.'s most popular benches. The other is a clean, shiny pile of aluminum cubes by David Smith entitled Cubi-XX, which not only wins high marks on esthetic grounds but, as students have discovered by pounding on its several sides, also makes a dandy two-tone bongo drum...

Gerhard Richter observes that "in Munich, the artist is too easily corrupted by the pleasant life. In Düsseldorf, the intellectual air is clean." For artists like Joseph Beuys, this is just the atmosphere for fresh beginnings. "What all of us have been doing," he says, "is trying to return to the zero points, to seek new essentials, to engage in meditations to lead us to the rediscovery of what lies behind our thwarted existence...
