Significantly, Boston is not the only city supporting the Democratic ticket by means of the arts. On September 21, the Sidney Janis Gallery together with the Pace Gallery in New York sponsored an art sale including a limited-edition portfolio of such pop artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Claus Oldenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns. Such art-fund-raising sales will continue until the election--in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Milwaukee and L.A. Although that art-politic phenomenon is new for the 470 Gallery, cities like Los Angeles have sponsored promenades of the art galleries in order to elect congressmen. Individual galleries...
...Street and turned it into a succession of mysterious caves lined with her black, white, gold and Plexiglas constructions. Roy Lichtenstein acquired one vast floor of a bankrupt bank on the Bowery (other floors were taken by Adolph Gottlieb and Barnett Newman). Kenneth Noland bought a storage building; Robert Rauschenberg, a flophouse-cum-church on Lafayette Street. The first artists' coop was set up in 1967 at 80 Wooster Street; by 1968, there were 15 such buildings, and there are at least 28 now. Today, a loft building that would have gone for $30,000 in 1960 is likely...
Electronic Mud. One of the most popular exhibits is Robert Rauschenberg's Mud Muse. It is a tank filled with sloppy, coffee-colored drillers' mud supplied from one of Teledyne's offshore oil rigs. Pipes in the floor of the tank emit air bubbles, which plop to the surface at random with a kind of lazy flatulence. The pipes in turn are controlled by an elaborate electronics system, which converts signals from taped music and random noise in the room into a pattern of air release. "I think," says Rauschenberg, "you immediately get involved with Mud Muse...
...measured by a man's effect on other artists. The use of multiple and serial images, of mechanical reproduction, of systematic banality seen as an absolute-most of this either originates in Warhol's paintings or passes through them en route from Duchamp, Jasper Johns and Rauschenberg. But to a wider public, which still measures art in terms of sensuous enjoyability and a man's claim to be an artist by the vim with which he "expresses himself," Warhol is a baffling creature-mainly because his message is that he has no self to express. He names...
...commonplace that Kurt Schwitters was one of the dozen most influential artists of this century. Everyone who has made assemblages, from Joseph Cornell to Robert Rauschenberg, is in some degree indebted to him. His concept of the "all-enveloping" work of art that could draw on a whole range of media, from paint and sculpture to architecture, sound and print, hovers behind all recent experiments in mixed media. Like Max Ernst, Schwitters is the "classical" Dadaist who destroyed nothing and became instead a kind of stylistic oracle. There have been a number of Schwitters retrospectives to cement the fame Schwitters...
