...style in graphics went on display last week at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art with 48 prints by 15 artists. In the opinion of the museum's print director, William Lieberman, the pioneer of the movement is Robert Rauschenberg, who in 1964 created a print called Shades, which was, in effect, an art-toy-graphic. He transferred bits of newspapers and magazines onto a lithography stone, then inked and printed the image on an acetate sheet, which he in turn laminated on Plexiglas. Finally, he illuminated the whole thing with a light bulb. The result: a movable...
...flew the coop to make plaster casts of people. Last week he got a mighty nice little nest egg for all his efforts: the $5,000 first prize at the Chicago Art Institute's 68th annual exhibition. The jurors also awarded prizes of $2,500 each to Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella and Larry Poons, all New Yorkers of the pop-op-geometric persuasion, and a $1,000 prize to Sculptor Robert Morris...
...mostly American records. Italian coffeehouses proliferate in big U.S. cities, while the Italians wear Jantzen swimsuits on their beaches. Japanese transistor radios, TVs and tape recorders do as well in New York as James Baldwin's novels in Tokyo or Edward Albee's plays in Athens.

This year, despite a powerful push behind the U.S.'s pop-eyed Roy Lichtenstein, whose work has evolved from hyperintense comic-book panels, the grand international prize in painting went to a relatively unknown kinetic artist from Argentina, Julio Le Pare...
...form." Other goodies on view include a stuffed ocelot, a stuffed owl and a stuffed boar (Serra's wife is an amateur taxidermist), bidets crammed with conch shells, beaten-up boxing gloves, and broom bristles. Of his crass menagerie, Serra says: "People didn't know whether Robert Rauschenberg's goat with a tire around it was art. Now they know. If an artist goes on making goats, though, he's hung up." Serra tries to stay loose, and designs his works to last. Says he proudly, "I take great care to glue every feather down...
