Others worry less that private funds will cramp styles. "Art has always had little to do with the economic currents of society; perhaps the cuts will provide an anxiety stimulus," Irving Karp, owner of the OK Harris gallery, in New York's SoHo, says. "I don't believe that there will be change in the genre of the works produced in the theater," Bob Moss, producer of March of the Falsettos, and current executive director of Playwrights Horizons, adds. "We have always produced what we believe in, what we know how to produce, rather than what we thought might make...
...observer's eye knows nothing of the sitters in advance. None of them is famous for being famous, except at the SoHo level of celebrity-some being, in fact, well-known artists, like the sculptor Richard Serra or the composer Philip Glass. Thus what Close proposes is a kind of portraiture diametrically opposite to Andy Warhol's images of Marilyn or Liz, where the painting, an icon of the Star, adapts itself to the intrusive power of repetition and generalization. With Close, there is no generalization at all. None of his faces has a role. There...
Morrison, however, indicts the present and sacrifices it, in her prose, to the power of her legends. Where there are no legends, the prose is dead.

None of these places mean anything to readers who do not know New York City, and few New Yorkers would claim these spots as immortal landscapes of their city. WRVR has already been taken off the air.

...famous but showing weak things. Still others, such as the New York Artist Julian Schnabel (with his lumpen-expressionist jumbles of sticky paint and broken crockery), are immensely fashionable with collectors for reasons the work does not make clear. But nobody, not even the most dedicated footslogger on the SoHo treadmill, could have known everything in these three shows firsthand. Taken together, they make one realize yet again how indispensable the salon format is to a healthy art world. The curated survey, whose American prototype is the Whitney Biennial, always has patches of boredom and baldness, but it is still...
...near legendary sight in Manhattan's galleries and shops, and an enduring staple in the pages of Women's Wear Daily. She likes to swathe herself in costume and go to parties; she dislikes cooking for herself and frequents small local restaurants in Little Italy and SoHo, where she is treated with the deference one would associate with Hizzoner the Mayor (which, in a cultural sense, she almost...
