...Vegas. Not even Broadway Joe Namath in New York City during his glory years. So when Roethlisberger, who shattered an NFL record by winning the first 13 starts of his career, looks to unwind, he can command a choice table at any upscale joint along Pittsburgh's revitalized Strip. But most Monday nights he and a few friends hold court at Jack's, a dive on the city's South Side, where a bottle of Iron City costs two bucks. Jack's is the kind of place where former steelworkers drink and tip as if they were still making...
...Peter Eisenman was commissioned to design a showcase building for the recently unified Berlin, a combination of offices and hotel and retail space to be called the Max Reinhardt Haus, after the also very visionary German theater producer. For inspiration, Eisenman turned to nothing less than the Möbius strip, the 3-D geometric form produced by a single twisted surface.

Prina himself may found certain works on fairly abstract—one could even say conceptual—notions, but he also accepts and encourages the contamination of such concepts with historical, cultural and personal associations...
...highly textured oval mound of pigment, roughly the shape and convexity of a shield, that juts forward close to three inches from the center of the board. The board itself is a vertically-oriented rectangle (roughtly three feet by four feet) of plain unfinished wood with a slightly raised strip frame around the edges and a light, blond-colored grain. Ironically enough, Dorian Gray shares a gallery with the Fogg’s prize Jackson Pollock painting, No. 2, dating from 1950. Ironically, because Kline’s work seems in some ways a grotesque caricature of Pollock?...
