...makes no case for a U.S. monopoly on styles. The sprightly satires of Britons Richard Hamilton and David Hockney hang in the same gallery with their better-known U.S. pop equivalents, such as Tom Wesselmann and Robert Indiana. Indeed, it is Documenta's unity that last week prompted Sculptress Louise Nevelson to remark: "Usually an artist works in loneliness. But here, one suddenly experiences the kinship one always suspects one might have with the rest of the artistic world...
Another favorite is Sculptress Marisol. In fact, the Bergmans were lunching with her on Nov. 22, 1963, when they heard of Kennedy's assassination. They went sadly back to her studio, there saw her 1961 Kennedy Family. It had been returned from a West Coast gallery where a fellow artist had playfully drilled the Jack Kennedy doll in the chest with a pistol. Aghast but fascinated, Bergman bought the work after Marisol had repaired...

Her body was cut open and her infant fell to the ground with a little cry, to be crushed...
Like Venezuelan Sculptress Marisol, whose primitive cubical, often satirical sculptures are a rage in pop circles, Botero depicts gentle impossibilities. He balloons his figures to look like anthropomorphic Latin American pottery. His subjects turn into jugs with ears, stylized piñatas bursting with human presence. With forceful immediacy, as if cartooning from a reproduction of a Renaissance fresco, his simplified images reflect the innocent expressionism of old Spanish colonial art and the sunlit geometries of its architecture...
