...form, top art stands somewhere between collage, in which objects are pasted onto the canvas, and sculpture, in which the work exists to be viewed in the round. But however hybrid the medium, it has won astonishing acceptance. Hinman, for instance, has had only two one-man shows in as many years, and already his works are owned by seven major museums. Nor are collectors holding back. Governor Nelson Rockefeller already owns one, and would-be purchasers are forming a long queue to buy whatever Hinman may choose to produce next...

Bonding fragile fabrics onto stable yet supple synthetics, textile manufacturers can make cloth that lasts longer, holds its shape better, and resists stretching. The potential of the hybrid materials is so great that 300 million yards of bonded fabric have been produced this year, and by 1970 bonding is expected to capture 50% of the industry...
