...Boston is not the 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. Although that art-politic phenomenon is new for the 470 Gallery, cities like Los Angeles have sponsored promenades of the art galleries in order to elect congressmen. Individual galleries have...
...artist and subject gets careful consideration, particularly if the face to be painted is already instantly known or if we choose a symbolic cover instead of a likeness. In May of 1968, when Robert Kennedy was near the crest of his primary election campaign, we selected Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein. He depicted Kennedy as an all-American hero in a comic book motif. When Raquel Welch was the cover subject in 1969, we might have chosen a glamour specialist. Instead, the assignment went to Frank Gallo, a sculptor with a satiric streak. He rendered Raquel lifesize, in a style reminiscent...
...straightforward: buy a SoHo building outright, or convert it into a coop. A pioneer of that gambit was Louise Nevelson, who purchased a vacant five-story sanitarium on Spring Street and turned it into a succession of mysterious caves lined with her black, white, gold and Plexiglas constructions. Roy Lichtenstein acquired one vast floor of a bankrupt bank on the Bowery (other floors were taken by Adolph Gottlieb and Barnett Newman). Kenneth Noland bought a storage building; Robert Rauschenberg, a flophouse-cum-church on Lafayette Street. The first artists' coop was set up in 1967 at 80 Wooster Street...
...idea that led to alibi tapes came to Leisure Data President Steve Lichtenstein when he saw the movie The Owl and the Pussycat. "George Segal had this tape of a barking dog," he remembers, "and I suddenly saw the possibilities. The whole country is paranoid, especially city apartment dwellers. So I got an attack dog and taped him trying to chew me up. It began selling 1,000 copies a week all over the country, just so people could switch it on when the doorbell rang." Soon Lichtenstein's out-of-work friends asked him to tape a selection...
Alibi Cartridges. There are different reels for different deals. One businessman, according to Lichtenstein, established a reputation as a highly mobile go-getter and "destroyed his competitor by calling an account from five different cities in the space of one day." The wild-party tape has its advocates. "A guy wanted this girl to come over to his place," Lichtenstein fondly recalls. "She thought there was a party, but when she got there, there were only the two of them." A major liquor distiller has ordered 500 sets of alibi cartridges and tape players to be installed in bars throughout...
