GASTON CHAISSAC-Cordier & Ekstrom, 978 Madison Ave. at 76th. Chaissac is the town cobbler in Vix, France. He writes poetry, has been a friend of Dubuffet for 20 years. His art is marked by eccentricity and a sparkling imagination. With wash and wallpaper he wraps strange figures in startling ambiguity: one picture suggests both the Crucifixion and a scarecrow.

Oils, assemblages, gouaches and drawings, done between 1943 and 1960. Through April...

...Matter of Esthetics. On a more modest scale, Architect Gordon Bunshaft, chief designer for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, also had a problem with paintings. His were Picasso, Miro, Modigliani, Dubuffet, and they all had to be fitted into his five-room rental apartment on East 66th Street. He chose "neutral" furnishings "to let the paintings do the coloring." To create more space, Bunshaft removed a wall separating the entranceway from the dining area. His TV set is placed behind a sliding Dubuffet, and from behind a Miro comes the sound of his hi-fi speaker. By using stainless steel, Formica...
