BOSTON — The ads for Arlene Shechet‘s exhibition All at Once have been intriguing and unsettling. For months, headshots of strange, organ-looking creature-objects have been posted on billboards around Boston, in front of brightly colored backgrounds and beneath the slogan “Sculpture that Breaks the Mold.”

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Nearly eight years ago I wrote a review leading off with the question, “What is it about Anselm Kiefer’s art that inhibits unfettered admiration?”
The article was about a set of big, brawny Kiefers from the collection of Andrew and Christine Hall of Fairfield, Connecticut, installed in two large galleries of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. While these sprawling works spoke to the depth and freedom of Kiefer’s imagination, I felt the same “abrading kernel of doubt” about them as I did with much of his art, which is often afflicted with bombast and “a queasily ingratiating antiquarianism.”
