...teau Mouton Rothschild, Philippe wages a battle for oenological equality with his fond cousins and competitors, trying to persuade the French government's wine agency to revise its official 1855 wine classification, which listed Mouton slightly below Lafite. Philippe has commissioned, among others, Cocteau, Braque, Dali and Lippold to design labels for his Mouton Rothschild...
Numerous state supreme courts have upheld the constitutionality of their state's statutes against interracial marriages. In 1944 a Federal Circuit Court upheld Oklahoma's racial marriage laws. Since that time, however, two important decisions have challenged anti-miscegenation laws. In Perez v. Lippold (1948), the California Supreme Court ruled that such laws violated the Fourteenth Amendment. The second, and probably more important case, is that of Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 Supreme Court school decision. The fall of the "Separate but Equal" principal has struck at the roots of all racist legislation and therefore it is probably...
...Lippold has produced as elegant a body of work as any artist that ever wielded a welding torch. The images that inspire him are wholly modern-"suspension bridges, TV antennas, steel skyscrapers.

"In the 20th century," he has said, "we do not look at things...
...Philharmonic Hall, Lippold chose as his material highly polished copper alloy because it complemented the travertine used in the interior. After experimenting with a model in his studio, he ordered 190 slender metal planks of different sizes, to be hung from the ceiling by steel wires of extra strength. He had no final image in mind as he worked, but in the end he produced two giant floating sculptures that suggested "two friendly gods." He named his work Orpheus and Apollo...
...bars can move, but the constant play of light keeps them in motion. Between the clusters is a graceful arch of bars that connects them like golden steppingstones. But Lippold's achievement is that on every level and from every angle the sculptures are successful, as esthetically true as a bunch of grapes. From the lobby, they cut the room's vast elongation without removing an inch of space. From the first balcony, they explode like flowers suddenly bursting into bloom. Higher up, the slender wires attract attention: hundreds of cats' cradles that seem to have...
