...1960s, Bontecou was a well-established name. Not a household word like Warhol but an artist who exhibited constantly in the U.S. and Europe. In the stable of dealer Leo Castelli, the ultimate launching pad for up-to-the-minute talent, she was also the only woman. LIFE, Cosmopolitan and Vogue put her in their pages, where they tended to treat her as the mouse that roared...
...before moving to Montreal, is, like the man, somewhere in the surrealist realm of wretched excess, offering more than 700 drawings, photographs, collages, film clips, set and costume designs, letters, manuscripts and bits of memorabilia. There are portraits of Cocteau by Jacques-Emile Blanche, Man Ray, Picasso and Andy Warhol, and portraits by Cocteau of Modigliani, Picasso and Kisling, each done in the sitter's own style. It's all in dire need of editing, but remains surprisingly good entertainment, which is appropriate for a man who had more than one talent to amuse...
...Hollywood-Kennedy royalty would be expected to inhabit. Their home is a five-bedroom, 11-bathroom, Tudor-style pile. It measures 11,000 sq. ft. on six ocean-view acres in Brentwood. Visitors to their home bring back tales of Arnie's lavish humidors, the enormous ceilings and the Warhol silkscreen of Shriver.

Joe dolls in action poses, Simpsons dioramas and full-scale sculptures of creatures from the Lord of Rings movies get museum-like attention. And why shouldn't they? Andy Warhol, who you can easily imagine walking around the Con, redefined the meaning of this material over fifty years ago. It's a small leap to New York's Whitney Museum, which currently features Gilles Barbier's life-size installation of geriatric superheroes in a nursing home...
Everyone's big worry this summer: How best to celebrate what would have been Andy Warhol's 75th birthday on Aug. 6? How about this: the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pa., is hosting an exhibition of sculpture and photographs by that blow-dried '70s muse, the poster girl of poster girls, FARRAH FAWCETT, and her collaborator, artist Keith Edmier. The centerpiece of the show is a life-size sculpture of Fawcett's naked form carved in marble by Edmier, and Edmier's cast in bronze by Fawcett. Also on display is a wax seashell containing Fawcett's footprints in sand...
