...young expressionist Horst Antes, who mashes anatomy into a strudel of bright colors. Actually, in sculpture at least, the laurels were split between two rather conservative choices: Etienne Martin, 53, of France, who was rumored to have received a helping hand from Culture Minister Andre Malraux, and Robert Jacobsen, 54, of Denmark, who makes Model A abstractions in wood, stone and iron...
...Northwest Indiana Crime Commission, a private organization, has sporadically attempted to clean up the county, but has been hampered by a low budget and the obvious indifference of local and state officialdom.

Arrivals are greeted by a circular bicycle park with partially glassed roof. Jacobsen, who also dabbles in interiors, designed everything from the college silverware and china to its door handles. The high table is lighted with rows of soft Jacobsen lamps. Rooms feature a variant of Jacobsen's famed, womblike "egg chair" ("You want to sit back protected...
