...Tanya Lopert, girl starlet and daughter of a United Artists vice president, had to be content with something less spectacular but considerably more ladylike. With Daddy in tow, Tanya made her big entrance at a party at the Palazzo Ca' Rezzonico, dressed in a spangled magenta mini-gown slit to the thigh...
Such a fellow is Britain's Anthony Caro, 42, whose works suggest an explosion in a boiler factory. His Month of May, a star attraction at London's current sculpture triennial in Battersea Park, is a magenta, orange and green collection of huge aluminum jackstraws seemingly flung into the air over two chunks of I beam. There is no pedestal, no impressive volume filled with bronze-and no relation to human scale. "I wanted to make sculpture that is as meaningful in a room as a person," says Caro.

Besides high cartographic skill, all this called for a special printing process. For the U.S. editions, the map was printed in eight colors-yellow, magenta, green, grey, gold, pink, blue and black. To get sharper differentiation between the lines and patterns, it was printed as if it were a piece of fine art-by sheet-fed offset on heavy paper-and then was bound with the rest of the magazine, which came off rotary letter presses...
