...exhibitions and manifestoes that have made Britain once again a force to be reckoned with in the arts. Leader of the small founding group was Sir Roland Penrose, now 67, a minor surrealist painter in his own right and longtime friend of Critic Sir Herbert Read and Sculptor Henry Moore. Under Penrose, ICA pioneered in giving major shows to artists from abroad, including Picasso, Max Ernst, Le Corbusier and Dubuffet. For artists at home, it served as both sounding board and workshop, provided a setting for painters as dissimilar as Francis Bacon and Ben Nicholson...
...postwar U.S. art. The mystery is how Neumann goes about making his selections. Even among art dealers, he is known for the hard bargains he drives rather than for esthetic likes or dislikes. Despite Neumann's taciturnity, Picasso seems to have been taken with his company, and Sculptor George Segal took him on a tour of his plaster-castery. As far as Neumann is concerned, the secret of his success as a collector will remain just that. Says he elliptically: "The works collected me. I didn't collect them...
Machine-Made Vision. The sculptor mining the modular vein who has attracted the most attention this season is Donald Judd, 39, known among minimal fans as the most severe and uncompromising of the "dumb box boys." For Judd, a box is a box is a box, and nothing more; free associations are forbidden.

...sense, meaning that if we don't learn to adapt ourselves to the modern situation now, it's the end-and the artist must show us the way." The star and theme setter of the art exhibit, appropriately enough, is that grand old Russian revolutionary and pioneer sculptor of the 1920s, Naum Gabo, 77, with 28 constructions on display. Though the original idea for the festival was Foss's, the planning and expenses are being borne by a dozen different local and state institutions (even Buffalo's bantam-sized 7,800-student state college...
...DOCUMENTARY: In Kienholz on Exhibit, by June Steel, of U.C.L.A., the camera roams for a leisurely 21 minutes over an exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum by Sculptor Edward Kienholz (TIME, April 8, 1966). Then an off-camera interviewer deftly questions a series of museumgoers, whose reactions are even more of a social comment than the artist's work. A pair of sclerotic city elders label the show disgusting; an appreciative young Negro in a golfing hat sizes up the exhibit as "it's, like...
