Margot Fonteyn. Against a hazy background of sumptuously costumed choristers arranged like figures in a Renaissance tapestry, Dame Margot was a floating vision in white. Dancing with the Paris Opera's Attilio Labis, she portrayed a maiden-monarch torn between love and duty, melting from sternly regal poses into flights of rapturous lyricism.

Otto Gerson deals mostly in first-rate sculpture from Barlach to David Smith. The Willard Gallery (Feininger, Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Sculptor Richard Lippold) is excellent; so is John Bernard Myers' Tibor de Nagy Gallery, whose artists include Larry Rivers, Robert Goodnough and Fairfield Porter. In the print field, the sightseer or collector can do no better than start...
