''The Big Nothing'' presents an engraved invitation to Klein's ''Void,'' which I gather is now a very expensive and rare commodity. Klein would no doubt have appreciated this twist of commercial fortune. The invitation is presented alongside various photographs and ephemera from Andy Warhol's similar exhibition at the institute in 1965, which also had nothing in it except a mob of fans jamming the opening. Ms. Schaffner calls Warhol ''the Elvis of nothing,'' writing that his work, in ''an era of compliant consumer culture,'' was like ''a mirror facing a vacuum.'' Warhol appears in another photograph in the show, posing in 1985 beside a pedestal with nothing on it, a work he titled ''Invisible Sculpture.'' — Michael Kimmelman, June 25, 2004 |
