Art party. A collection of critic writings Milton Gendel– An American in Rome Died in 2018, His 100th Birthday – Published, and Atlantic Some selection excerpts. In one of his memoirs (which amounts to 10 million words), he recalls a 1967 dinner for the sculptor. Alexander Calder and his wife, luisa in the Italian capital. Gendel wrote that the artist was “a fine, fluffy, white-haired thing in a red shirt and red tie,” and went on to describe a man who was “quick and piercing in his looks and seemed to hear everything from all sides of the table…” There is also this, from that evening: Playing a horse with a stick in the shape of a woman.
