- <p> DIED. EDWARD KEINHOLZ, 66, sculptor; of heart failure; in Hope,
- Idaho. Keinholz began constructing reliefs in the 1950s, working
- with anything from pieces of stray wood, junkyard objets and
- even a deer's head. The works increased in size, eventually
- becoming free-standing environments that turned viewers into
- participants. Chief among them: Roxy's (1961), a grotesque evocation
- of a bordello run by a rhinoceros-skulled madam; Backseat Dodge
- '38 (1964), featuring a chicken-wire man romancing a plaster
- woman; and The Beanery (1965), a 22-ft.-long surreal saloon,
- so explicit that the L.A. County board of supervisors tried
- to scuttle its opening. Critics, however, praised Keinholz's
- 3-D denunciations of alienation in America.
