...Lloyd, 52, comes from a family of antique dealers, and Harry Fischer, a few years older, once sold rare books in Vienna. They have not only built up a vast trade in modern old masters, but have also captured some of the biggest stars of the English art world. Sculptor Henry Moore has joined them. Francis Bacon left the Hanover Gallery; Sidney Nolan quit Matthiesen; Ben Nicholson, Kenneth Armitage and Lynn Chadwick came from Gimpel Fils. Marlborough takes on almost nobody not already famous, and it guarantees fat annual income plus fringe benefits-for example, a free secretarial service...
Overlooking all this activity stands an impressionistic statue called Devastated City, commemorating the city's wartime agony and postwar sacrifice. The work of Russian-born Sculptor Ossip Zadkine, it depicts a man with upraised arms, and, where his heart should be, a hole to symbolize suffering. The statue will be really finished, says Zadkine, only "when a bird nests where the heart should be." Considering the way Rotterdam abhors any unused space, that...
...Forever? Considering his $75,000-a-year salary, Spahn's left arm is the most costly appendage in baseball, but he treats it as if he had found it at a fire sale.

That same year Ian Campbell made headlines by taking as his second wife Louise Vanneck. daughter of U.S. Sculptor Henry Clews. (His first: Janet Aitken. Lord Beaverbrook's daughter.) Though unmentioned in the song, Campbell was even more Top than Mrs. Sweeny. In 1949 he became Duke of Argyll (family motto: "Forget Not"), Chief of Clan Campbell, Hereditary Master of the King's Household in Scotland, Admiral of the Western...
...school was renamed eight times-from the Lycée Impérial (Napoleon's era) to the Lycée Descartes (the 1848 revolution). What never changed was the stunning output of famous men. Painters Degas, Delacroix and Géricault went there; so did Sculptor Frederic Auguste Bertholdi, who designed the Statue of Liberty. Louis-le-grand taught Writers Victor Hugo, Charles Peguy, Theophile Gautier, Paul Claudel and, more recently, Jean-Paul Sartre. The poet Baudelaire was aptly pegged ("somewhat bizarre charm") before being expelled for refusing to unhand another boy's note in class...
