Stuffed Moose & Stacked Tibias There is something distinctly unsettling about the welded metal sculptures of Richard Hunt, 32, currently the subject of a major exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Center. They seem deliberately designed to elude description. Some are needly and spiky, reminiscent of a mosquito-or perhaps a reconstructed set of blood vessels. Others are bloated, like an octopus with tentacles waving, a man-eating plant, or an anchor squiggling into a second life as a giant sting ray. Still others are stalklike, stiffly articulated into a stack of tibias, and one hangs off the wall-looking...

...most critics, Willem de Kooning at 63 is the foremost living U.S. painter to emerge in the postwar period.

But the current budget of $160,000 does not go far in today's rapidly expanding art world. The U.S.'s current exhibit at São Paulo alone cost $70,000 to mount. Despite his budgetary problems, Director Gustave von Groschwitz unveiled a formidable 44th Carnegie exhibition last week. An international jury found so many works of merit that it selected not one, but six artists as winners of $2,000 prizes (see color pages...
