...churches, Belluschi (a Roman Catholic who has worked as well for Lutherans, Episcopalians and Jews) is responsible for the inclusion of such traditional equipment as candlesticks and crucifixes, calls in such modernists as Sculptor Richard Lippold and Painter Gyorgy Kepes to help. He demands that artists use materials both as contemporary as stainless steel and as old as cathedral glass, to give the church traditional richness and warmth of color. In searching for the most modern solution, he has lately returned to the earliest Christian prototypes: Portsmouth Priory's Church of St. Gregory the Great repeats in its octagonal...
...enhance the lobby, Inland commissioned Richard Lippold (TIME, July 30, 1956) to design a is-ft.-tall construction of stainless steel rods, which is suspended in a delicate network of wires of gold, stainless steel and fire-red enamel. It is set against a block of polished black Belgian marble, and rests in a reflecting pool of water. For the 19th-floor executive suite, U.S. Sculptor Seymour Lipton, winner of the Jockey Club's top acquisition prize at the Sao Paulo Bienal, hammered out a heroic, 7-ft.-tall Hero. There are more than 30 paintings, including a green...
...Sculptor-Welder Richard Lippold's Variation Within a Sphere, No. 10; The Sun. For the Met, which specially commissioned The Sun, Lippold outdid himself, labored three years putting together, with 14,000 hand-welded joints, almost two miles of 22-carat gold-filled wire. Hung by stainless steel wires in one of the Met's Oriental-rug rooms, The Sun measures 22 ft. long, 11 ft. high and 5½ ft. deep...
...breeze. Soaring outward from the free-moving core are finespun wire planes in the form of arcs (the sun's corona and prominences), so finely constructed that they quiver with the building's imperceptible vibration. Even more remarkable than the feat of putting it together is Sculptor Lippold's assurance that he can disassemble The Sun, pack it away in handy-sized packing crates. ¶ In Minneapolis the Institute of Arts had on view a 21 in. bronze Monkey and Her Baby, by 74-year-old Pablo Picasso. To make his ,lonkey, Picasso took a child...
...Richard Lippold, 40, an engineer and industrial designer before he took up sculpturing, has a more affirmative motive. Lippold does not hide his love of geometric form ("The fragile snowflake appears in more variations of form than any kind of 'permanent' sculpture"), but his take-off point is the human emotion. His Primordial Figure (see cut) is a kind of family totem, with the outline of a wasp-waisted male figure with hands upraised superimposed on a skirted female figure. To critics who complain that his finished work looks more like aerial rigging and radar antennas than sculpture...
