...same way that he was turned off by harsh contrast in black-and-white pictures, he disliked strident color. What he was after were tones, colors you can't put a name to, indeterminate registers that shift in the retina and brain. Even his sunsets were powder-puff pink.

...epic gray goatee--and was forever hitching up his too baggy pants. This unforgettable appearance made him a perfect point man for a WWF marketing venture dubbed the Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection, a cross-promotion in which Albano popped up in several Lauper music videos, while the pink-haired singer in turn graced numerous WWF broadcasts.

But what's so refreshing about the Whitney show - which runs through Jan. 17, then moves to Washington and Santa Fe, N.M. - is the way it spares us O'Keeffe the Earth Mother and points us back to the endlessly inventive formalist she remained, intermittently, to the end of her life...
