...safe to come back. For she practices a kind of art that has made her one of the less popular artists in Manhattan. Sturtevant's thing is line-for-line copies of virtually every top pop painter and sculptor. She has "done" Segal, Wesselmann, Oldenburg, Stella, Johns, Lichtenstein, Rosenquist and Warhol with such loving cunning and accomplished accuracy that she makes them all look slightly ridiculous. If the ideal of pop is to reproduce banality literally, then Sturtevant has carried the ideal to its logical but infuriating conclusion-by reproducing the literal reproduction literally. "Oldenburg is ready to kill...
...Kreeger plays his Stradivarius in string quartets with old friends, including Abe Fortas. A smaller chess room contains surrealists. Liveliest of all is the gallery that the Kreegers call their "trial and error room." Its walls display their latest contemporary acquisitions, including works by Thomas Downing, Charles Hinman, James Rosenquist, Milton Avery and Larry Poons...
...long, mandarin-collared Mao or Nehru coats. In Los Angeles last week, TV's Tonight Show Host Johnny Carson marched on-camera sporting American Designer Oleg Cassini's version of the Mao in dark blue whipcord. At a recent party given for Manhattan Pop Artist James Rosenquist, Metropolitan Museum Director Thomas Hoving arrived wearing one by Cardin in black velvet-and looked positively clerical alongside Hostess Ethel Scull's daisy-topped maxiskirt.

James Albert Rosenquist, 34, the Rubens of the billboards, is doing equally well on this side of the Atlantic. The sometime sign painter from Grand Forks, N. Dak., stars this month with 32 works at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa (see color opposite). Gifted with pop art's most facile brush, Rosenquist was a smash with his first Manhattan show in 1962. His huge, bold panoramas combine the photo-simulated faces, glossily glamorized foods and chrome-plated gadgetry of Madison Avenue in weird compositions where objects seem to float off the canvas. In their own way, they...
...Neither Rosenquist nor Lichtenstein has rested by the wayside. Each has explored new avenues of expression, Lichtenstein with a series of nonobjective "modern paintings" and tubular sculptures in the style of the 1930s thai some observers believe heralds the ad vent of a whole new nostalgic school of art. Rosenquist has taken to painting his images onto transparent Mylar, then slicing it into strips to create a new kind of "walk-through sculpture." But he will not abandon brush and can vas. "Oil painting may be old-fashioned," he says, "but I don't think any medium is dead...
