...because of his huge volume of business and the relentless mythologizing of the fashion press. The fact is also that while Saint Laurent's contributions have been generative and historic, he has often appeared to be treading water (sparkling mineral, no doubt). Armani, meantime, has made a huge splash reshaping and restructuring the way people dress-not only the people who wear Armani designs but those who wear the myriad clothes influenced by him and those whose very ideas about clothing are colored, in some cases unconsciously, by the Armani attitude...

Still, if Claes Oldenburg dribbled sticky floods of enamel over his hamburgers and plaster cakes in the '60s. he did so in homage to Pollock. If a sculptor like Richard Serra made sculpture by throwing molten lead to splash in a corner, or Barry Le Va scattered ball bearings and metal slugs on the floor of the Whitney Museum, the source of their gestures was not hard to find.
