...rambling and rhapsodical environment by Robert Rauschenberg, 1/4 Mile or 2 Furlong Piece -- sits in the right place and space. This is no small architectural achievement. Roche Dinkeloo's plan avoids the inflexible, linear character of many museum layouts, seen at its worst at the Guggenheim, which propels the visitor on a one-way trip down the tunnel of art history; instead, the Met wing invites one to reflect, pause, circle, go back, compare...
...market mechanisms? On the questions of economic and foreign policy, China's two top leaders sought to give assurances that no drastic shifts were in the works. Zhao told a visiting Hungarian official last week that the "personnel changes will not affect our line and policies." Speaking with another visitor, Deng noted that "China needs further opening" to the outside world. The country's "mistakes," he added, "were due to demanding too much and moving too fast." That appeared to mean that Deng's reforms would continue, but at a slower pace...
...match; she needs people, other actors, crews, audiences for her work just as much as he requires isolation for his. So when Bloom is in rural Connecticut, her enforced idleness leads to a good deal of teasing banter. He: "There is no social life around here." She (to a visitor): "That's what he keeps telling me." He: "Nobody goes to parties. Hey, I got you a telephone, didn...
There are perhaps 1,000 art buyers in Los Angeles. Their passions invite, and to some extent deserve, a degree of skepticism. The visitor who wends his way from house to house, seeing the same work by the same fashionable names, trophies of an insecure herd instinct that relies too much on too few galleries, most of them in New York (Castelli, Pace, Blum Helman, Boone, Cooper, Gagosian), is bound to feel dyspeptic. Was ever so much money raked from such passive, anxious uniformity of taste? And did dealers ever have such an unbridled influence on museum trustees and, through...
...period room of the recently lost future, haunted by a peculiar American dream from the days when model-airplane kits were still mostly balsa. A 1929 high-wing monoplane, bravely lacquered in sky blue and wasp yellow, hangs from the ceiling, almost low enough for the grown visitor to touch its spats. Nearby sits the Chrysler Airflow -- not, alas, the classic 1934 model with the "waterfall" radiator, but still modernity on wheels, squinty windshield, fairings and all. Between them are such icons as the 1936 Sears-Roebuck Waterwitch outboard, offering its owner some whiff of the thrill associated with Henry...
