...revolution, not in the Communist sense but in the Bucky Fuller sense, meaning that if we don't learn to adapt ourselves to the modern situation now, it's the end-and the artist must show us the way." The star and theme setter of the art exhibit, appropriately enough, is that grand old Russian revolutionary and pioneer sculptor of the 1920s, Naum Gabo, 77, with 28 constructions on display. Though the original idea for the festival was Foss's, the planning and expenses are being borne by a dozen different local and state institutions (even Buffalo...
Through Gabo and his fellow constructivists, who took over leadership in the 1920s, the movement expanded to influence Germany's Bauhaus and the Dutch exponents of De Stijl. For art historians, the show is endlessly fascinating; no exhibit has attempted to interrelate these different schools since Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art's "Cubism and Abstract Art" in 1936.

In short, if the collection consisted of only a small fraction of the work now on exhibit, it would still well merit a visit...
...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...
