Arlene Shechet, Storm King review — colourful sculptures both monumental and intimate

Ariella Budick | ft.com | 14th September 2024

In the world of sculpture, Storm King is a sought-after commission. Shechet, who came to prominence via her abstract ceramics, has used the opportunity to lash out, producing six large metal sculptures dressed in conspicuous pastels. They are “biomorphic and baroque, a writhing mass of shapes”, qualities in line with Shechet’s reputation as one of America’s most imaginative sculptors. Mostly, though, they are “a rebuke to certainty”. If the FT paywall doesn’t like you, another review is here.
