Vincent Szarek - 'Kandy-Kolored' to the max

This American sculptor creates abstract work evocative of the custom-car culture of the 60s.

Back then the lust for sheen and shine was called the "Finish Fetish" movement.

Szarek's new show, up at Fusebox Gallery in Washington, D.C. through next Saturday, December 18, is entitled "Old Glory."

Fusebox is at 1412 14th Street NW; tel: 202-299-9220.

Tom Wolfe: call your office, Charlotte Simmons is here for her appointment.
