Inside, the 8,020-sq.-ft. gallery space offers a tabula rasa for which Director Werner Haftmann, 56, must act as a kind of architect-curator. Each time he mounts an exhibition, he will not only have to hang the pictures on the walls but also hang the walls-movable partitions that can be suspended in any arrangement by means of wires from the roof. "This is a very great work," said Director Haftmann last week. "But we've got to learn how to use it." For opening day, he showed that he is learning fast by mounting...
...Samaras has in effect dismantled the reliquary. He has ranged twelve or 18 mutants of the same relic-for example, a knife-in a clear Plexiglas case, calling the group "transformations." At the same time, he has not entirely abandoned books and boxes. Painted cutout silhouettes of the latter hang in their own black frames, subtly suggesting the ax about to fall. A curiously shaped book, its ten pages cut in lacy patterns and stippled with rainbow dots, contains Samaras' own moody, erotically Joycean fantasies (even Grove Press, he claims, refused to print them). Samaras' most celebrated boxes...
Lately he has learned to hang on for the kill. Since July, when he got to the semifinals at Wimbledon before losing to Australian Pro Rod Laver, Ashe has won 26 straight matches, two of them in Davis Cup play against Spain. Last month he beat Bob Lutz to take the U.S. Amateur title...
Room for Privacy. The Kreegers' collecting did not cease while construction was going on. Indeed, so many new pictures were added that Johnson and Kreeger wound up adding three new galleries on the level below the main floor. Picassos and Chagalls now hang in the recital room, where Kreeger plays his Stradivarius in string quartets with old friends, including Abe Fortas. A smaller chess room contains surrealists. Liveliest of all is the gallery that the Kreegers call their "trial and error room." Its walls display their latest contemporary acquisitions, including works by Thomas Downing, Charles Hinman, James Rosenquist, Milton...
Exhibit B: The Killing Game. A husband-and-wife team (Jean-Pierre Cassel and Claudine Auger) manufacture Superman-style comic strips for a living, but run out of super ideas. Just a pair of fun-loving kids, they hang around the studio playing with their mental blocks until a wealthy Swiss named Bob (Michel Duchaussoy) invites them to his chalet for a stay. What starts out as kicky soon becomes sicky. Bob is a paranoid who imagines that an organization is out to expunge him. Unfortunately, it is all in his imagination, and to comfort himself he zooms about...
