...school at its early stage. Most viewers won't come to the show with a fund of Bauhaus history. Instead, they're interested because the name connotes an austere functionalism in design that has infiltrated 1970s American life everywhere from typography to the mass-produced Marcel Breuer steel tubular chair. They'll wonder how this regulated style ever evolved from these 51 varied graphics--expressionist, primitive, whimsical. realistic, neo-classical, and architectural. And the Busch-Reisinger is not helping anyone by providing enlightening text or more visual information. No linear historical perspective adds to the horizontal historical sample of European...
Interested in a $4,600 coffee table made from two Rolls-Royce radiator grilles and a slab of stainless steel? Or maybe a $1,380 three-seater sofa with a tubular frame?

Each has a 25-ft. spine of tubular and spring steel, painted a decidedly unsharklike yellow, and 50 bright green, double-jointed ribs, housing some 500 ft. of plastic tubing, 25 remote-controlled valves and 20 electric and pneumatic hoses...
...after more than a decade of concentrating their efforts overseas, the oilmen are sinking an increasing number of U.S. exploratory wells both on land and at sea. Oil companies have sharply increased their budgets for domestic exploration. There is so much new drilling planned that a shortage of tubular casing, drilling platforms and other equipment has developed...
