...with her two small daughters and may not find it 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.

"The Globolinks I've thought up for the unsentimental children of the new generation," he says. He also designed it as total theater. Menotti enlisted the aid of Kinetic Sculptor Nicolas Schoffer and avant-garde Choreographer Alwin Nikolais to place The Globolinks in the proper visual orbit. Schoffer designed the production as a Now Generation light show, employing spotlights, slide projectors and blinking flashbulbs. He provided a continuous flow of color patterns that alternately suggested cityscapes, outer space, subterranean depths...
