...look at the first page of the newspaper," says Ernst, "you feel such overwhelming disgust for everything going on in the world that you must echo this." In his gigantic stone monoliths, Ernst's angst becomes monumental. The figures are droll and disquieting, monstrous and enchanting. His mammoth Big Brother, wearing a visored cap, or his two Seraphim totems, sticking out their tongues, provoke laughter-and a shiver...

With a few other large exceptions, foundations scale sharply down from there. Only about 1,500, or about one in 13, are worth as much as $1,000,000, and there are plenty of mini-foundations, such as Chicago's Robbins Charitable Fund, with assets...
