Crowds, including thousands of atheists, will flock to watch the predawn procession of crosses and icons around Moscow's Yelokhovsky Cathedral, where Young Communists in red armbands stand by outside to see that only regular worshipers actually attend the rites. Inside, bathed in the glare of thousands of candles, the congregation will join Pimen, Patriarch of All the Russias, in the great cry of triumph, "Khristos voskres!" (Christ is risen...

That solitude is threatened by the Whitney exhibition, and Steinberg views the glare of attention with a carefully nurtured indifference. "I would like," he says opaquely, "to retrospect the retrospective." But the crowds that arrive to inspect the Inspector will, one may predict, come to laugh and stay to think; for this show sets before us one of the most intriguing and complex intellects in art today...
