Wild West USA Major Dad WGN Beauty and the Beast NBC Makes Impact With 'Schindler's 'Asteroid' HBC again demonstrated its unparalleled ability to promote major TV events last week with telecasts of "Schindler's List" the highest-rated movie since "Jurassic Park" in May 1995 and the blockbuster miniseries "Asteroid." Throw in NBC's powerhouse Thursday lineup and the network posted a commanding prime-time ratings win heading toward a big February sweeps victory, based on results issued Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. National ratings for "Schindler's List," starring Liam Neeson, were somewhat lower than NBC's average in the 36 big cities metered by Nielsen, reflecting slightly less interest in the Holocaust-themed film outside major urban centers. The 3'-hour telecast was still watched in its entirety by more than 33 million viewers. Though director Steven Spielberg appeared on-air to warn parents about the film's graphic nature, roughly 1.1 million children age 2-11 viewed the broadcast.

Teenagers were encouraged to tune in and watched in higher numbers, with the movie drawing 2.4 million viewers in that age bracket. ABC elbowed ahead of the other networks to claim a distant second-place finish, thanks mainly to its newsmagazines. "PrimeTime Live's" Mark Fuhrman interview scored that show's highest rating in more than a year, while "2020" reached its biggest audience since March (almost 22 million viewers) following the movie "The Flintstones." People may be tiring a bit, meanwhile, of TV awards shows. The two latest the American Comedy Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards both accepted record-low ratings. -BRIAN LOWRY National Nielsen Viewership Here are the rankings tor national prime-time network television last week (Feb.

17-23) as compiled by Nielsen Media Research. They are based on the average number of people who watched a program from start to finish. Nielsen estimates that there are 25 1 million potential U.S. viewers age 2 and older. Viewership Is listed here in millions.

MARCH IM.4,8, II Barejof NOW 1 tut I In ma ii I a CUIOMINt: TICKETS Plot note fVfamwnw MUSIC a By SUZANNE MUCHNIC TIMES ART WRITER In the latest move to disperse the Lannan Foundation's highly regarded contemporary art collection, two Chicago museums announced Tuesday that they will receive large groups of artworks as gifts and purchases from the Los Angeles-based organization. The Art Institute of Chicago will purchase 48 pieces by modern masters including Bruce Nau-man, Isamu Noguchi, Ad Reinhardt and Sam Francis and receive 58 works as donations. Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, which made no purchases, will get 85 works as gifts.

The news follows a Jan. 30 announcement of Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art's by the foundation. The three museums were given first choice of about 550 objects available for donation and 53 for sale. They each compiled written proposals, prioritizing choices and explaining how the works would fit their collections. The foundation coordinated the proposals, giving each institution a large percentage of its requests.

The Art Institute had the advantage of having as its liaison attorney and museum trustee Howard M. McCue, who is also counsel to the Lannan Foundation. The museum came out on top in terms of the number of Lannan acquisitions, including purchases of two major Abstract Expressionist paintings an untitled canvas from 1958 by Clyfford Still and Robert Motherwell's "Wall Painting With Strides" from 1944. The institute's EVILLE ROSSINI purchases also include 13 paintings and a suite of lithographs by German artist Gerhard Richter and Chuck Close's portrait of painter Alex Katz, along with 18 related pieces by Close.
