...biggest splash of the week, in the end, was provided by one of Berkeley's star exhibitors, Sculptor Peter Voulkos, 43, known as the "daddy of funk." The San Francisco Art Commission voted to adorn the Municipal Hall of Justice with a 24-ft.-high piece of Voulkos sculpture, but the chosen piece hardly looked funky at all. Says Voulkos, "It's pretty open. There's no literal connotation in it." It simply looked like a shiny bronze-and-aluminum convocation of happy-go-lucky boa constrictors, and could be Fernand Leger on a three-dimensional spree...
Shown & Known. Because Hunter is located between Lexington and Park Avenues in the very heart of New York, the college has always been able to tap well-known "names," has long had on its staff such prestigious artists as Sculptor Richard Lippold, Abstractionists AdReinhardt and (until recently) Robert Mother well. But the problem every art school must face is that very few successful or well-known artists will teach by choice; once their work begins to sell, most would rather spend the extra hours in their studios. Under the leadership of Eugene C. Goossen, 46, who took charge at Hunter...
...full-and part-time teachers, has increased from 24 to 65. And in short order, Goossen's new teaching artists have made their mark in the outside world. Six out of 60 grants made by the National Council on the Arts last year to promising U.S. painters and sculptors went to Hunter teachers, a record for any U.S. art school. Half a dozen Hunter artists, including Sculptor Tony Smith (TIME, Feb. 10), were represented in the 1965 and 1966 Whitney Annuals for painting and sculpture. Recently, nine Hunter teachers had one-man shows simultaneously in cities ranging from...
...past the Whitney Museum's Andrew Wyeth show (TIME, Feb. 24), which has already drawn 170,000 visitors, found themselves in for a delightful surprise when they reached the topmost gallery. There an almost cathedral hush was induced by a full-scale retrospective display of the work of Sculptor Louise Nevelson. Awed spectators moved from darkened room to darkened room, observing Nevelson's monumental spotlighted pillars and walls built of orange crates, dowels, spindles and other bits of wooden bric-a-brac but sprayed either all black, all white or all gold. America-Dawn, a multi-totemed white...
London's Tate Gallery owns more Henry Moores than any other museum -about 50 pieces in all. But, like the works of Britain's foremost living sculptor, the Tate's Moore collection also has a number of holes. Moore, who has always had "a soft spot" for the Tate, has saved a copy of every work he has done since 1949. He has long planned a gift of 20 or 30 pieces-worth, at current market prices, between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000-to provide a complete cross-section of his life work...
