...from the ceiling and seem to float, like a yellow submarine, at ankle, knee-or eye-level. Yet none of these ever actually move, for they are not boats, not planes, but sleekly minimal bolts and beams cantilevered into a startling semblance of motion by Manhattan's Robert Grosvenor, 31. "I like sculpture to be a kind of quick thing, like what we see out of train windows," says Grosvenor. "I like things I've seen very fast and I don't know what they are, but I remember the outline, the image. I'd like...
...Grosvenor's sculpture is memorable for its engineering finesse, for its life and sweep, for the way in which a huge Grosvenor dwindles grandly into the distance, playing joyfully with the sight lines of Renaissance perspective. The Larry Aldrich Museum in Connecticut specially commissioned his 100-ft.-long yellow piece for its greensward, and Manhattan's Whitney proudly hangs the 23-ft.-long Tenerife in its lobby. Thanks to his training as an architect, Grosvenor's work is not only handsome but portable - indeed, some times floatable. A swooping, 40-ft.-long black T, recently seen...
...three of the four men who lunched together last week in the executive dining room of Britain's Associated Electrical Industries Ltd. on Grosvenor Place, London, the menu included a side order of crow.

Danius Turek plays a second masterful creation, Archibald Grosvenor, taciturn lyric poet, indomitable narcissist: in short dear chorines, the single apple of your collective eye. Men do not care for him. Turek is limited by an approximately normal skeletal structure, forcing him to exploit the variety of stuffed poses of which he is capable. He charts the attitude of pomposity with a mathematical vigor, with glorious shamelessness impossible since Freud's tinkerings...
...Mark di Suvero, 34, a Shanghai-born stablemate of Grosvenor's at the downtown Manhattan Park Place Gallery, constructs giant wood, steel, rubber-tire and rope constructions at his New Jersey junkyard. They are often designed to let viewers ride or swing on them, carry richly evocative titles such as Elohirn Adonai, Stuyvesantseye or Love Makes the World Go 'Round. -David von Schlegall, 47, is a space-age Mainer who fabricates immense wing-shaped constructions and soaring bolts out of shiny aluminum. One of his giant untitled works, supported by an interior space frame, is currently on display...
