Collie’sPaintings Promote
Planet’s Shared Identity
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—
Kate Collie’s paintings layer infor-
mation and pictorial elements —
birds, landscapes, maps and abstract
forms — to build narrative wholes.
One of her themes concerns the
promotion of a sense of shared iden-
tity among all living things on the
planet, elaborated in her Tram Chim
series that deals with the recovery
of Vietnam’s cranes from the de-
struction of regional wars.
Pieces from the Tram Chim series
are among works by Ms. Collie that
make up the exhibition, "ARTCur-
rents 24,” at the Mint Museum of
Art through Oct. 19.
The cranes and their comeback be-
came a rallying point for her theme,
Ms. Collie said, "as they are exact-
ly the kind of large, beautiful and
rare creature that so often provides
impetus for human conservation ef-
forts.”
Here Come Warhol’s
15 Minutes Of Fame
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The
Andy Warhol Museum is going to
do what it can to make good
Warhol’s famous forecast that “In
the future everybody will be world
famous for 15 minutes.”
Well, at least a certain local fame.
At least once a month. And for a lit-
tle longer than 15 minutes.
Museum officials announced a
monthly series, “15 min +," that will
give local artists, writers, poets and
musicians an opportunity to present
their work side-by-side with
Warhol’s in the museum’s galleries,
theater or studios.
Occasionally, nationally and in-
ternationally recognized artists will
be invited to be guest presenters.
This format, the museum says, is
in the spirit of Warhol’s own cre-
ative collaboration with artists from
many disciplines. The two-hour ses-
sions will take place on the second
Saturday of each month.

Celestial Shades
Of Blue And Green
WASHINGTON (AP) — The earli-
est form of celadon was the world's first
high-temperature glaze. It first appeared
3,500 years ago in China and developed
into the softly luminous family of blue-
green glazes that have been prized ever
since.
An exhibition of 44 glazed stoneware
vessels showing celadon's development
Is on show at the Smithsonian Institu-
tion's Freer Gallery of Art.
These samples span the centunes be-
tween the Western Han dynasty. 200-
100 B.C., and the Qing dynasty of the
19th-20th centuries. The first celadon
vessels tended to be pale and thin in col-
or and copied bronze and lacquer wares
in their shapes ar.d decoration
I ater examples have a thicker opales-
cent glaze, and were made in larger
sizes and shapes for use at the imperi-
al court and in everyday life, for bur-
ial rites and for the export trade.
The exhibition, "Shades of Blue
and Green: Chinese Celadon Ceram
ics," will remain on view indefinitely.

Cronkite Now Has
Time To Relect
NEW YORK (AP) — Now that
Walter Cronkite and his w ife have
settled into their new apartment,
he’s had some time to reflect on
the way it was.
The 80-year-old Cronkite, a leg-
endary newsman for CBS for 47
years, had quadruple bypass heart
surgery in March, a year after hav-
ing a knee replaced His wife of
57 years, Betsy, also 80, decided
last spring that they should leave
, their four-story tow nhouse in New
York ( ity for a one-floor apart-
ment.
"We hated moving." Cronkite
says in the Sept. 1 issue of People
magazine. "I don t know what w as
worse, all the sentimental stuff—
that we had raised a family there,
that we loved the neighborhood
and the neighbors — or just the
thought of cleaning out closets that
hadn t been touched in 40 years."
He says he’s not sure w hat will
happen at Christmas, w hen the rel-
atives all used to gather at the
old townhouse.
"There are probably enough sofa
beds to take care of everybody if
they w ant to come, but I have a
feeling they’re going to use this as
an excuse to get their own fami-
ly traditions going," he said.
