...Free Sex. As the pile-driving beat thunders out of six speakers with deafening insistence, blinding strobe lights flash in rhythm with the music; the walls swim with projections of amoeba-like patterns slithering through puddles of quivering color. Just as in other psychedelic-lit joints, such as Andy Warhol's Gymnasium in Manhattan, the aim is to immerse everybody in sound and sight. When the spell takes hold, young mothers with sleeping infants in their arms waltz dreamily around the floor; other dancers drift into a private reverie, devising new ways to contort their bodies. Some...
...newly prosperous postwar buying public, which is willing to splurge on experimental works. When Dusseldorf opened its stark $2,300,000 modern-art museum last month, the new Kunsthalle boasted not only an impressive display of 16 privately owned Picassos and Braques, but also works by Lichtenstein and Warhol-plus 17 works by contemporary Dusseldorf artists. The area's leading modern-art collector, aristocratic Frau Fann Schniewind, has amassed a $1,000,000 collection that runs the gamut from a white-plaster woman painting her fingernails by U.S. Pop Sculptor George Segal to a white disk studded with...
...next September's Sao Paulo Bienal, the U.S. will be represented by such pop artists as Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg. But by startling contrast, William Seitz, former curator of Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, who picked the entries, opted for a real grandpop to stage the major U.S. one-man show: Edward Hopper, 84, an old master of realism whose cityscapes go back to his association with the "Ashcan" realists.

...answer lies in Kazan's past as an Academy Award-winning film maker. His publishers tried to make the most of it by throwing a splashy show-biz-style, pre-publication party aboard the liner France in New York Harbor, drawing everybody from Tennessee Williams to Andy Warhol; on paper, Kazan tries to make the most of it with splashy writing: dream sequences, yellowed letters, soliloquies to mirrors, toys-in-the-attic flashbacks, instant psychoanalysis, prose more often stream than consciousness.Only a few broodingly nostalgic childhood scenes hint of Kazan's larger writing talent...
...first blush, it seemed a dirty-fingered dawn. Two months ago, Mekas and some film-making friends leased an art house in midtown Manhattan to present The Chelsea Girls (Time, Dec. 30), a 3½-hour experimental peekture by Pop Painter Andy Warhol. Exclusively, explicitly and exhaustively, the film depicts homosexuality, Lesbianism, and drug-taking, and a majority of the critics (most of them over 40) found it dirty, dull and on-and-onanistic. But moviegoers (most of them under 30 and simply prurient) stood in long lines to buy the scene. All over the U.S., distributors suddenly...
