...from the Far East," requests Chicago Orientalia Buff Pat Delaney, who covered the Midwest auction scene. Erik Amfitheatrof, who interviewed directors of Sotheby's and Christie's in London-and who began buying Japanese art while reporting from Tokyo in the 1960s-dreams of finding the Hiroshige print White Rain at Shōno under his Christmas tree. "Alas, my chances are slim," he admits. "It was auctioned at Christie's New York this year for $13,000." But no art, thank you, for Art Critic Robert Hughes, who wrote this week's Essay on collecting...

American folk art, however humble its origin, is soaring in value as well-crafted objects like pewter pots, duck decoys, quilts and scrimshaw (erotic examples in particular) become ever scarcer. Photographs are commanding fine arts prices; an original print of Ansel Adams' Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico sold last week for a record $22,000.

Such is the impression created by America's all-purpose early alert system. Day after day the air bleats and print blinks with warnings and alarms. Cancer alerts have become almost as commonplace as weather reports. Strictures on how to avoid heart attacks pop up everywhere.

Written by the British art critic and historian Ian Dunlop, Degas (Harper & Row; 240 pages; $37.50) is by far the best introduction to the life and work of the painter of boulevards and ballet dancers now in print. A student of Ingres's and the great contemporary of Manet, Flaubert Sand the Goncourt brothers, Degas was one of those ocular witnesses without whom the cultural life of France in the 19th century cannot be understood; and no writer has done a better job of placing this tetchy, formidable genius, with his astonishing powers of observation iand his bitter tongue...
