banal to begin with," he comments. "Buildings tend to endure. The question of which element should be dominant is subject to a good deal of argument," he points out, as if speaking of his Indianapolis mural. In the end, you get the impression that Glaser would most relate to those who don't know the colors are a mural. Says Glaser: "I'd much rather hear my work referred to as effective than as beautiful, although actually, what I really like is when you can't tell the difference." ir FACIAL CARE BULLETIN-JUNE, 1985 I FT" ant beautiful skin? facial care experts sa; X.

I I -r i 6 treat your skin as though it's fragile." Kite, head of the firm, recalls that mockups were made before the actual painting was started by a crew of twojnen supervised by Don Saunders, since retired. "A special blending technique had to be used, which was very difficult to do and the pressure had to be perfect to do that. It was quite a chore. The two men had to do a lot of special training to do it," Kite recalls. "I never could view it with too much detachment, but I suspect there are people in many walks of life who are disturbed by bright colors," speculates Woollen.

"They feel there's something obscene about certain color combinations. They may equate the color purple with a sort of emotional abandon. They want their public places to be very somber." Others put the objection more succinct ly, even today. "1 think he was color blind," commented one observer recently, upon learning that Glaser had done the mural. "I would expect controversy on anything that has any deviation from the norm," says Glaser.

Actually, Glaser might be most pleased with the comment of a GSA official who came to Indianapolis in May, 1984, long after the mural's controversy had subsided. "I didn't even know they consider that a mural. I thought that was just the way they painted the building," he said. Richard Gardner, manager of the building, says comments about the mural have died, "unless somebody comes to town and never saw it before. I defended it," he remembers from the days it first appeared.

Gardner and Woollen both remember the complex set of pulsating lights which were installed to illuminate the painting, in accordance with Glaser's plan. They brought complaints from residents of nearby Riley Towers, who said the brightening and dimming of the lights at night "drove them nuts." Glaser is curious as to what became of his lighting creation; the answer is that the lights were turned off after a few months during an energy economy drive. Today the mural remains dark at night, its controversy shadowed by the passing of time. "There are younger people around who don't consider it an invasion of their neighborhood," speculates Woollen. "And there were always people who said they loved the colors and got a lift when they rode by." Controversial himself, it's obvious that Glaser is unruffled by the debate his mural produced, even as he is philosophical about the usurpation of his "I Love New York" slogan by every place from Paris to Knox-ville, Tenn.

He created the slogan as a public-service promotion for New York. "The fact that it's been copied in itself is rather rewarding. In any case I have never seen anything else that I've ever done that has been so replicated, and maybe it's because intrinsically it was leaves no residue. Your skin is smoother. Softer.
