In July of 1962, Irving Blum’s fledgling Los Angeles gallery, Ferus, hosted the debut exhibition of an artist from New York named Andy Warhol. The work on display: a group of 32 20-by-16-inch paintings of Campbell’s soup cans (one for each of the 32 varieties of Campbell’s soup available at the time). Reviews of the show were middling at best, and Blum managed to sell just five of the paintings (for $100 each), only to buy them back in order to keep the set intact, purchasing the remaining paintings from Warhol and hanging them in his tiny L.A. apartment. But the show itself would signal a tectonic shift in American art, away from the Abstract Expressionism of the postwar era and toward the brave new world of Pop.  ARTICLE PUBLISHED: 04/19/12

While John D'Agata is a passionate advocate and practitioner of the essay, he is also polite, well-spoken, and reasoned in his defense of manipulating facts and eschewing the label of nonfiction. His most recent book, The Lifespan of a Fact, presents D'Agata's arguments by way of example: a reproduction of his 2003 essay for The Believer along with a transcript of the ensuing exchange between himself and one of the magazine's fact-checkers, Jim Fingal.  ARTICLE PUBLISHED: 04/18/12

28-year-old Adam Driver has managed to fly far enough under the radar to avoid the perils of high-stakes celebrity but close enough to it to rack up quite the impressive list of theater credits: opposite Frank Langella in Roundabout's Man And Boy, replacing Zachary Quinto in last year's Angels in America, and starring in John Osborne's recent Look Back in Anger.  ARTICLE PUBLISHED: 04/13/12

Stark Sands, who plays one of the central rookie cops in CBS's NYC 22, has also built a near-monopoly on the serviceman role, having played soldiers in Flags of Our Fathers, HBO's Generation Kill, Broadway's American Idiot, and in a zombie-apocalypse film.  ARTICLE PUBLISHED: 04/12/12

Dreama Walker is an actress you probably recognize, regardless of your demographic. You might have seen her as Gossip Girl baddie Hazel Williams, opposite Julianna Margulies on The Good Wife, or even as the granddaughter of a particularly prejudiced Clint Eastwood in 2008's Gran Torino. But with two new projects in the pipeline—the ABC comedy Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 and the film Compliance—the 25-year-old talent will attempt to take her budding career to the next (well-deserved) level.  ARTICLE PUBLISHED: 04/11/12

We predict that One Man, Two Guvnors will be the Broadway hit of the spring/summer season. This forecast may be based on the show's tremendous success in London and our personal opinion after seeing it last Saturday (it's hilarious), rather than Interview's famous crystal ball, but still, we have a reputation to uphold and do not throw around predictions all willy-nilly.  ARTICLE PUBLISHED: 04/11/12
