...paradox of art history that some of the most influential sculptures of modern times were never actually seen by the men they influenced. They were four metal-rod constructions that Picasso made in 1928-29. Known only from photographs, these light, airy images-a form of "drawing in space" -helped shift the attention of postwar sculptors in America and Europe away from the solid block and toward open structure. But Picasso never allowed them to be sold to a dealer, a collector, or a museum; they remained in his own collection in France after they had been rejected...

At GUM, the famous department store on Red Square, the selection of clothing has expanded, though the prices remain high. The store even...
...memorable cuts on the album. The side closes with "Let It Loose," the kind of hard rock ballad (sort of like "You Can't Always Get What You Want") that only the Stones can do really well; Nicky Hopkins repeats the same lovely piano part he used on Rod Stewart's "Handbags and Gladrags...
