This week, reviews editor Alex Jovanovich introduces author and critic Gary Indiana’s landmark essay “Ex-Model Found In Wall” from the May 1985 issue. In 1970, the artist Holger Trülzsch and the Countess Vera Gottliebe Anna Gräfin von Lehndorff-Steinort aka Veruschka, the German über-model and one of the most legendary faces of the 1960s embarked on a photo project together for which she posed, less as celebrated subject and more as surreal scaffolding.

Greenberg only unsheathed his crystal ball during those rare moments of highest intensity of feeling, and we should follow that example. Yet still our judgements remain hostages to fortune. ....
