New members of the institute are Michel M. Ter-Pogossian, Ph.D., and Samuel A. Wells Jr., M.D. Ter- Pogossian is professor of radiology at the School of Medicine and director of radiation sciences for Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology. Wells is Bixby Professor and chairman of the De- partment of Surgery at the medical school. He is also chief of surgery at Barnes and Children's Hospitals in the Washington University Medical Center. The two are among 40 new members elected to the institute in recognition of their contributions to health and medicine or related fields. As members of the institute, which was established in 1970, Wells and Ter-Pogossian will help examine health policy issues and advise the federal government. Ter-Pogossian is often described as the father of positron emission tomography (PET). PET scanners pro- vide images of physiological activity in the brain and other organs of the body, permitting scientists to evaluate changes in organs during disorders such as heart attacks, strokes, depres- sion, epileptic seizures, anxiety at- tacks and Parkinson's disease. Ter- Pogossian received his master's degree and doctorate from Washing- ton University, and has conducted research here for nearly 40 years.

(35 x 78.5 cm), 1975. Photo by Caius Filimon Upsilon Gallery is pleased to present Black, an exhibition of original and edition work by Georg BaselitZ, Willem de Kooning, Osvaldo Mariscotti, Robert Motherwell and Richard Serra, on view at 146 West 57 Street in New York. Curated by Marcelo Zimmler, the exhibition explores the role played by the color black in Post-war and Contemporary work. In the 1960s, Georg BaselitZ emerged as a pioneer of German Neo–Expressionist painting. His work evokes disquieting subjects rendered feverishly as a means of confronting the realities of the modern age, and explores what it is to be German and a German artist in a postwar world. In the late 1970s his iconic “upside-down” paintings, in which bodies, landscapes, and buildings are inverted within the picture plane ignoring the realities of the physical world, make obvious the artifice of painting. Drawing upon a dynamic and myriad pool of influences, including art of the Mannerist period, African sculptures, and Soviet era illustration art, BaselitZ developed a distinct painting language. Upsilon Gallery 404 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10018 [email protected] www.upsilongallery.com Willem de Kooning was born on April 24, 1904, into a working class family in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

    Abstract Expressionism 1940s-1960s A form of abstract art that emphasized spontaneous, intuitive creation of unstructured expressions of the artist’s unconscious Action Painting: emphasized the dynamic handling of paint and techniques that were partly dictated by chance. The act of painting was as significant as the finished work: Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning Jackson Pollock, Blue Poles, 1952 William de Kooning, Untitled, 1975 Color-Field Painting: used large, soft-edged fields of flat color: Mark Rothko, Ab Reinhardt Mark Rothko, Lot 24, “No. 15,” 1952 “A square (neutral, shapeless) canvas, five feet wide, five feet high…a pure, abstract, non- objective, timeless, spaceless, changeless, relationless, disinterested painting -- an object that is self conscious (no unconsciousness), ideal, transcendent, aware of no thing but art (absolutely no anti-art).

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Architecture in the Experience Economy: The Catalog Showroom and Best Products Company A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture by Christina Bernadette Gray 2019 © Copyright by Christina Bernadette Gray 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Architecture in the Experience Economy: The Catalog Showroom and Best Products Company by Christina Bernadette Gray Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Sylvia Lavin, Chair Although it is often assumed that production must logically precede consumption, the development of postmodern architecture complicates this narrative. The development of postmodern architecture undermined established structures by centralizing the role of consumption and the consumer. This dissertation examines ways in which various conservative trends pushed the consumer closer toward production. These changes ushered in the experience economy of which Best Products Company and the broader catalog showroom phenomena were particularly emblematic. Drawing on these changes within the history of retail architecture, this dissertation sets out to explore how architecture emerged into the postmodern period as a box, a malleable shell that was increasingly being invaded and overturned by a powerful consumer. ii This dissertation of Christina Bernadette Gray is approved.
