...geographic limitation, and focused on what he sees as the central figures in the international modernist tradition. Given this definition, however, it is hard to see why he left out such major artists as Naum Gabo, Louise Nevelson, Sam Francis, Mark Tobey, William Baziotes, Richard Lindner, Larry Rivers, Marisol and Lee Bontecou. Even so, with 406 works by 43 artists, Geldzahler has assembled the most exhaustive survey ever of the period...
...looks like something out of an early Happening. Or an Andy Warhol movie. Or one of those puckish pop art pieces of George Segal or Marisol. As a matter of fact, Henry Geldzahler can claim all that and more.

The store is Dayton's of Minneapolis, which has exhibited a flair for showmanship that has been emulated by some of the biggest names in U.S. retailing. Still, the showcase downtown store is only one part of the fast-growing Dayton Corp., which by the end of 1968 will include...
...were chockablock with social comment. Most notable was Eduardo Sanz's walk-in Chapel for an Important Man, where altar and stained-glass windows were replaced by abstract, luxurious designs of plastic, glass, polished wood, seemingly a bitter jest at the pious pretensions of the rich. As for Marisol, usually classified as an American artist, she scored a triumph of nationalist and artistic politicking by exhibiting as a Venezuelan, thus getting a whole pavilion for 35 of her delightfully inimitable dolls...
