Another favorite is Sculptress Marisol. In fact, the Bergmans were lunching with her on Nov. 22, 1963, when they heard of Kennedy's assassination. They went sadly back to her studio, there saw her 1961 Kennedy Family. It had been returned from a West Coast gallery where a fellow artist had playfully drilled the Jack Kennedy doll in the chest with a pistol. Aghast but fascinated, Bergman bought the work after Marisol had repaired...
...late wife Harriet had winnowed from a lifetime of art purchases. Valued at upwards of $2,000,000, they range from Italian Futurist Umberto Boccioni's 1913 Dynamism of a Soccer Player, through Arp, Klee, Pollock, De Kooning, and wind up with portraits of Janis by Segal and Marisol. The onetime maker of M'Lord Shirts bought his first Matisse in 1926, went on to become one of Manhattan's most successful art dealers. Still sprightly at 71, he has given his collection to the Modern. In any other city, it would be enough to start...

A glittering concatenation of neon by Chryssa attracts commuters in Grand Central Station. Three giant dolls by Marisol face Central Park at 59th Street, black stabiles by Alexander Calder stand in Harlem, police cars parade through gigantic, candy-colored building blocks by Lyman Kipp in Central Park...
...opened his quick-stepping, publicity-prone Manhattan gallery in 1948. The collection, valued at upwards of $2,000,000, has everything from Picasso and a $50,000 Mondrian, which Janis bought from the artist in the '30s for $70, to sculptures of Janis himself by Pop Dollmaker Marisol and Plaster-Caster George Segal...
