Building His Dream House. The price De Kooning commands is not negligible. Last month one of his works reached an alltime high auction price of $40,000. With his peers in the abstract expressionist movement either dead, like Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline, or caught in a price slump, De Kooning finds his reputation still ascending. Last year he became the second painter (after Andrew Wyeth) to receive the President's Medal of Freedom, and presently finds dealers on both coasts bidding and jockeying for the honor of giving him a one-man show...
...name dropping. As he could learn from another expatriate, the late T. S. Eliot, it is the poetry, not the footnotes, that made The Wasteland great. Kitaj himself admits that most of his catalogue explications are, he cheerfully confesses, "Red herrings." Though he greatly admires the work of DeKooning, Kline and Pollock, he objects to total abstraction. "I'm likely to be moved by what is peripheral to the picture itself," says Kitaj. "You can't make a mark on a canvas that's not redolent of something you know outside the painting...
...already assured. Hard-edge and pop artists today acknowledge that they owe a clear debt to him. But he was "deeply moved by the response of the youngest generation," aged seven to twelve years, who have rated him No. 1 among such company as Cézanne, Franz Kline, Ben Shahn, Van Gogh and Robert Indiana. Some 300 children at U.C.L.A.'s University Elementary School preferred slides of Sheeler's work to those of any other artist. Their art teacher suggested last year that they write to the artist and tell him so. Their letters are among Sheeler...
These pictures are small, seldom larger than 10" square; Schuster will show Morse's larger paintings in May. They are part of the tradition of abstract expressionism and recall Conrad Marca-Relli and Franz Kline to an extent. But they are quite individually conceived and well put together (the frame and backing were done by the artist herself). Some of them tend to be a little "soft," where she uses blue and green cloth cut into small shapes. Her paper collages are most successful; they are black and white, with a little red occasionally, and their line varies between that...
Last week, for having pursued this line of reasoning to a successful conclusion, Dr. Kline, 48, won the Albert Lasker Clinical Research Award of $10,000. His citation declared: "Literally hundreds of thousands of people are leading productive, normal lives who-but for Dr. Kline's work-would be leading lives of fruitless despair and frustration." Patients who had been in mental hospitals so long that all hope for them had been abandoned have shown marked improvement on the "psychic energizers" developed by Dr. Kline or resulting from his work. * How many lives the drugs save among suicidal patients...
