...Charlie Gibson, was pilloried as a gossipmonger. One exemplary moment featured Nash McCabe, a Pennsylvania everywoman in a bizarre tunic who asked Sen. Obama if he “believes in the American flag.” If so, why won’t he wear a tiny tin replica of it on his lapel? But the attention this debate received should point the way going forward: why not have “The Hills” star Lauren Conrad ask the same thing at the next debate?

Moholy-Nagy was consistently troubled by its preservation and attempts by the museum’s curators to make a working replica to avoid damage to the original. The object files for the sculpture, currently in the Busch-Reisinger Museum, are full of subtly barbed letters between Sibyl Moholy-Nagy and the museum’s director.Moholy-Nagy was born in Dresden in 1903. In the late...
...from his very contemporary office. Across the room, artist John Baldessari's photograph of the New York City skyline doubles as a window shade through which to watch cars whizzing along Wilshire. A wall-size photograph displays what looks like the city's iconic Hollywood sign but is a replica created in Palermo, Italy, by conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan...
