...with his collection of Spanish old masters, and endowed it with $1,000,000. But art scholars are now taking a closer look at Meadows' Spanish collection mostly bought from one Madrid art dealer and valued at $3,000,000. Already one expert has flatly declared the El Greco Annunciation a fake, and others are being questioned...
...grabs was the richly carved and graven Temple of Dendur, Greco-Roman Egyptian ruin that has slumbered for 2,000 years in the crystalline Egyptian sunlight, 130 miles up the Nile from Luxor. It was originally dedicated to two Egyptian brothers, Petesi and Pihor, who had been drowned in the Nile. When the rising waters of the 300-mile-long lake formed by the Aswan High Dam similarly threatened to engulf their sanctuary, the Egyptian government had it dismantled into 650 pieces in 1962.

Kienholz's latest exhibit, an abortionist's chair, complete with curette, bloody rags and fetus, has some horrid documentary interest, even if it need not be confused with El Greco's best work. Tony Smith's huge constructions have a presence (even if they are ordered by phone) that a pile of concrete blocks by Carl Andre have not. Something called Liaison, by John Bennett, has some strange charm, looming like a cross between an oversized scuba diver...
