...ANDY WARHOL-Stable, 33 East 74th. "Paintings are too hard," Warhol once complained. "The things I want to show are mechanical." So he had someone make 500 wooden boxes for him; someone else made silk screens of the designs on the cardboard cartons that hold the products of Del Monte, Brillo, H. J. Heinz, Campbell's, Mott's and Kellogg's. Warhol himself, with help, squeegeed the color onto the boxes, wrapped them in brown paper to be carted to the gallery, and planned their arrangement in towering tiers. Lest viewers think it's just another...
...Sculls have commissioned 15 new paintings during the past ten years, including several family portraits. Andy Warhol, when asked to do a portrait of Ethel, put her in an automatic snapshot studio in Times Square and fed heaps of quarters into it. "Now start smiling and talking," said the artist, while the mechanical camera took scores of candids, "this is costing me money."

Among the playful creative elves: Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Alexander Calder, Richard Lindner, Richard Anuszkiewicz. Through...
Feininger and Marisol are not for sale, and-fortunately-neither is Alexander Calder's Pull Toy with Rocks. The usually delicate Calder touch does not work on the four Ballantine Ale cans he has strung together with wire and filled with clashing, crashing stones. Pop Artist Andy Warhol perpetrates a botu-listic sick joke: a dozen T shirts (which unadorned sell for 50? apiece) carry his silk-screen representation of the tainted tuna tins that poisoned two Detroit housewives nine months ago Price: $300 each...
