For a socialite young woman to become a good sculptor is definitely news. Such news broke last week when Mrs. Wynne Byard Taylor gave her first one-man show at the Georgette Passedoit Gallery.

Rockefeller estate at Pocantico Hills; the gaunt standing Lincoln intended for Westminster Abbey, now in Manchester, England; the nude reclining Pan, once...
