The body of Frank O’Hara—the broken nose, the bouncy gait, the jaunty posture—was
a special fixation, almost the Mont Sainte-Victoire of this coterie. Rivers
especially ranged across media to figure out how O’Hara’s personal dynamism might
be captured in static form; his plaster bust of O’Hara, its single blue eyeball
suggesting the effaced and white-washed grandeur of the classical past, is one of
the show’s highlights.
