Rarely has the giant internal ramp of Manhattan's circular Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, been put to better use. A visitor attending the Guggenheim's fifth International Exhibition can proceed downward through its five spirals, passing 100 works by 80 sculptors from 20 countries arranged by generation-and thereby receive a gradual baptism into the myriad ways that sculpture has evolved in the past 20 years...
Museum of Modern Art's sculpture garden and in the Guggenheim's International Sculpture Show. The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis is showing four Smiths; the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum, the New Jersey State Museum and Pittsburgh's Carnegie one apiece.

His other awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship and a grant from the National Institute of Arts and Sciences...

Nearly all of them were desperately poor; but in a young nation willing to reward industry, they succeeded beyond their dreams, along a route that led from peddlers' packs to high finance. Today, their banking and brokerage houses stand like monuments on Wall Street, and there are symbols...
