Built from Blueprints. Curator Tuchman, who took two years to assemble his show and visited 300 studios across the country, believes that the key trend emerging from the diversity of his exhibit is the artist's increasing rapport with and involvement in advanced technology. Larry Bell's clear, untitled glass boxes, for example, gleam like mother-of-pearl, thanks to optical coating methods developed by industry technicians.

Monro is a tireless worker, comes in early in the morning, and, more often than not, stays late at night. He has established an easy rapport with his fellow administrators; the respect for him is probably a mark of the quality of his work and his style of operation...
