The marble miracle-maker
Article Abstract:
The National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh, Scotland, is staging an exhibition entitled 'Effigies & Ecstasies - Roman Baroque Sculpture and Design in the Age of Bernini.' This show focuses on sculptor, architect and painter Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who was born in 1598, but has had to draw on other works because it is not possible to transport most of his works. It includes some Bernini busts, working models in terracotta and works on canvas and paper, as well as a considerable number of works attributed to him and after his style.

Vile bodies
Article Abstract:
The Saatchi Gallery in London, England, is currently exhibiting 18 figures by US artist Duane Hanson. These works, which cannot really be designated as sculpture, can be regarded as belonging to the Hyperrealism movement, but are also in the tradition of polychrome statuary. They very closely resemble ordinary American people from the period since the early 1970s, but are also very obviously exhibits. They clearly show how Hanson worked from life-casts.

Space invaders
Article Abstract:
The Hayward Gallery in London, England, is staging an exhibition of the works of sculptor Anish Kapoor. This focuses on his recent pieces, which show off his illusionistic skills. Pieces include 'My Body, Your Body,' which gives an illusion of something definite, as well as an illusion of something absolutely indefinite, and 'White Dark,' a 10ft-high white cuboid. This features a large dimple-crater on one of its faces.
