...years, the most modern museum in London has been a scruffy, nondescript gallery in a walkup off Piccadilly. Nonetheless, from its attic offices the Institute of Contemporary Arts has launched most of the exhibitions and manifestoes that have made Britain once again a force to be reckoned with in the arts. Leader of the small founding group was Sir Roland Penrose, now 67, a minor surrealist painter in his own right and longtime friend of Critic Sir Herbert Read and Sculptor Henry Moore. Under Penrose, ICA pioneered in giving major shows to artists from abroad, including Picasso, Max Ernst...
...party last week, all the old gang puffed up four flights to the East Side editorial walkup. Dressing as distinctively as they write, Columnist Jimmy Breslin appeared with open collar and untied tie, Writer Tom Wolfe in a white suit over a blue paisley shirt, Pop Critic Dick Goldstein with a Beatles haircut, boots and an "Indo-Russian embroidered jacket."

Outwardly at least, his impetuosity has somewhat subsided. The neighbors in his six-story walkup on a truck-choked thoroughfare in Karlsruhe are often treated to blasts of rock 'n' roll he plays to drown out the traffic noise. But outside his studio stand two British perambulators, quiet symbols of the treasured domesticity with his wife and two children into which he retreats to work...
