Useless Hole. The lines were the filed-down ridges of bronze that seep between the pieces of a mold when a statue has been sand-cast in sections, but this technique was not developed until the 14th century. The ancients used the lost-wax process that produced a seamless, one-piece mold-and a statue with no ridges on it. Another giveaway was a tiny hole on the top of the horse's head. Such holes are common on the life-size marble horses found on the Acropolis: the Greeks fitted spikes in them to keep the birds away...

...secretary to Humble Oil & Refining Co., Charles Goodyear, 33, has moved six times in eleven years.

Though their expressions seem subdued, their eyes glint with a new awareness tinged with a little of the old mischief. As for the grave in the foreground: it has THE BEATLES spelled out in flowers trimmed with marijuana plants...
...shows a somberly dramatic doorway opening onto a mottled moonscape marked by tiny red crosses ("It signifies my whole life," explains Tapies). Johns's Pinion is a prime illustration of Krzisnik's "alienation," since it literally depersonalizes one of Johns's zanier collages, which includes a wax arm and a ruler, by reproducing a ghostly, photographic image of it in watery red, yellow and pale blue, together with the grey smears of foot, hand and knee prints. Explained one juror: "Johns's subtlety in converting and sublimating pop elements exemplifies the harmonious reticence which is graphic...
