...MOCA announced with much fanfare that it had agreed to buy, for $11 million spread interest-free over six years, a group of works by Rauschenberg, Oldenburg, Rothko and others from Count Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, the Italian industrialist who was one of its trustees. Though it seems odd that a trustee could make a fortune by selling to his own institution, the deal was perfectly legal in California. "There's good self-dealing and bad self-dealing," says Director Koshalek philosophically. Then last November word leaked out that Count Panza's fellow trustees had discussed selling some...
Only once before, when Artist Robert Rauschenberg created a collage for an account of his work in 1976, has TIME allowed the subject of a story to execute his own cover portrait. In this case, says Holmes, the project seemed a "natural." Byrne attended the Rhode Island School of Design, and has influenced many of the images associated with Talking Heads, from album ) covers to Stop Making Sense, their 1984 movie. Explains Holmes: "We couldn't think of anybody who could do a better cover on David Byrne than Byrne himself...
This show fails to suggest that Katz was ever interested in anything beyond the most generalized form of his human subjects. He may draw figures better than Milton Avery, but that is not saying much. The late-'50s portraits of Robert Rauschenberg, Paul Taylor and Norman Bluhm are, as portraiture, thin and perfunctory; for a quick check on what a first-rate American draftsman could do with the human face as a focus of inquisitorial attention, one could have done worse than visit West 57th Street after leaving the Whitney to catch the show of Ellsworth Kelly's portrait drawings...
...Robert Rauschenberg refers to Miyake easily as "an international artist, the most influential artist in Japan. He's supporting the whole of the artistic community." Miles Davis likes to remark that Miyake "designs the way I think about music," and, pressed a little on the subject, comes up with some elegant riffs about Miyake's work. "He has balance, composition; he's incredible with fabric. He is an artist, yes, more than a fashion designer. I'd like to buy all of his stuff and put it on the wall, to look at when I get depressed." Even among...
...ambition to assault all the senses with a megalomaniac collage of real things onstage is the middle term between Wagner and the plotless, junk-crammed happenings that were the talk of the New York art world in the early '60s. The more one sees of Schwitters, the more Robert Rauschenberg's and Jasper Johns' work in the '50s seems to owe to him: the stuffed goat, the paint-soaked bed, the light bulb, the pathetic coat hanger were all predicted in Germany 30 years before...
