...salesman, a grocery store owner, a hermit from the backwoods, a clown, a few auto mechanics, a few hell's angels, ballet dancers, policemen, the works. The photographers have haunted such honky tonk spots as Revere and Nantasket Beach, and Paragon Park. They have sunk into the ghettoes, slunk into back stage dressing rooms, and escaped into meat markets, barber shops, auction barns, trailer parks, fields and kitchens, as well as their friends' homes...

Ward bosses did not barge exuberantly into Mayor Richard Daley's tightly guarded inner office. They slunk in sheepishly or stayed away altogether...

His stabiles (unmoving sculpture) are saurian girders that seem to slunk through the landscape, yet loom with a delicacy all their own. Yet their universality is shot through with humility. Visitors to the Guggenheim wandered beneath huge stabiles, paused to observe his The Only Only Bird (see opposite); it is a pop-like dodo made of beer and coffee cans whose title is drawn from a slogan on a can rather than...
