Newscopy: "TERRAZZOS, BACH AND PELICANS' BEAKS--The artist's Greenwich-st studio contains nearly all the work he has done since fire destroyed another studio in 1931; the exceptions are owned by the city or other institutions. At left Bufano shows how he breaks the terrazzos into the colored bits with which he makes his mosaics. In the center picture he examines the massive head of Sebastian Bach which, atop a 10-foot stainless steel body, is expected to be placed in Stanford's music building. At right Bufano brushes off a wooden tortoise-and-penguin group. Directly in front of him is a new steel beak for a pelican on display in North Beach Place; vandals broke the old one. In the center is a copper head of St. Francis; a wooden St. Francis is in the right foreground; at left foreground is a piece of driftwood which was shaped like a harp. Bufano worked it a little and strung it with coiled copper. The tall figures at the rear are the completed portion of an 18-piece Crucifixion group.....
