Because she died at an age when most artists are only getting into their stride, it is not surprising to find that Hesse's main dialogue was with her contemporaries in New York: the spiky or woolly boxes of Lucas Samaras, Claes Oldenburg's soft sculptures, Jasper Johns' borderline works between sculpture and painting. The remarkably intense exchange recalls, like a lost epoch, the temper of New York...
...only city supporting the Democratic ticket by means of the arts. On September 21, the Sidney Janis Gallery together with the Pace Gallery in New York sponsored an art sale including a limited-edition portfolio of such pop artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Claus Oldenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns. Such art-fund-raising sales will continue until the election--in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Milwaukee and L.A.

Individual galleries have been known to give...

Perfectly suited to readers who know...
...Died. Jasper ("Jap") Deeter, 78, actor, director and founder of the Hedgerow Theater in Moylan-Rose Valley, Pa.; of complications following a broken hip; in Media, Pa. A friend of Eugene O'Neill's, Deeter abandoned a career on Broadway in 1923 and set up the Hedgerow Theater in a vacant mill. Before Deeter retired as its director in 1956, Hedgerow had established itself as a training ground for such future stars as Van Heflin, Libby Holman and Richard Basehart...
