gallery. Along with the four 10-foot-high paintings, there are several smaller works, including one large collage, three small collages, one "very black" painting from the "Iberia" series, and the 1982 painting "Stephen"s Gate." 
 The room is scheduled to open in early November. The museum is paying for the works by turning over to the artist a substantial portion of its acquisition funds over an extended period. 
"What makes me particularly happy" Mr. Motherwell said, "is that with the collaboration and the room I'll have a model, or my trustees will have a model, to see what I wanted."

Art Dealers Say They're Doing Well
 Despite the general slump in the art market, many dealers in the work of established artists say they continue to do well. In order to spread the word about just how well, four members of the Art Dealers Association of America recently invited a reporter to hear the good news. 
 While not denying that many dealers are seriously affected by the recession, they insisted that the members of their association are enjoying success.
 The Art Dealers Association of America is a 20-year-old nonprofit corporation with 117 members, 88 of them in New York City. Almost all the 88 are situated in midtown Manhattan.
 Present at the meeting were Ralph Colin, the association's administrative vice president and counsel; Gilbert S. Edelson, its secretary and treasurer; Arnold Glimcher, one of its directors and the president of the Pace Gallery, which specializes in 20th century art, and Eugene V.

Duncan Photographs
The World of Islam
David Douglas Duncan, the former Life magazine and war photographer who is best known in art circles for his "Great Treasures of the Kremlin" and his five books on Picasso, has just come out with a book in Islam.
"The World of Allah" described by Mr. Duncan at the end of his preface as "a photographic introduction to Islam," includes photographs of every country partly or wholly governed by the Islamic word, from Mozambique to the Soviet Union.
 The roughly 150 color and black- and-white photographs, many of them accompanied by short essays, were taken between 1946 and 1958, when Mr. Duncan was in the Middle East as  a Life photographer. During those years, he "went on maneuvers with the Turkish cavalry on the Soviet frontier in the dead of the winter," "made the tribal migration with the legendary Qashqais of Iran," and stood "beside praying Moroccans in the French army on the border of southern China."
 "I tried to make a romantic book," he said. "There is a nostalgia and melancholy that builds up, and yet there is also a sense of the strength and humor and hospitality of the people." 
 Mr. Duncan did as much as possible himself. "The book is mine," he said. "I shot every photo. I wrote it. I produced it. I made every layout."
 When asked what his hopes were for "The World of Allah," his 15th book, he replied: "Understanding. There is simply no understanding of Islam."
 The book is published by the Houghton Mifflin Company and will be released Oct. 15. The price will be $35 before Jan. 1 and $40 after.
