...When the sculptor Christopher Wilmarth committed suicide at the age of 44 some 18 months ago, there were no headlines. Wilmarth was not a "star," and so, ignored by the mechanisms of art-world hype, his work was left to find its own level. It is now doing so. The time for a complete Wilmarth retrospective has not arrived, but the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan has mounted a small exhibition of 25 of his sculptures (through Aug. 20), sensitively curated with an excellent catalog essay by Laura Rosenstock. Even from this limited evidence, it is clear that Wilmarth...
Last month Fox Television's America's Most Wanted program reported on the case, featuring a sculptor's bust portraying List, now 63, as he would appear today. A tip to the program's hot line led FBI agents to Robert Clark in Brandermill, Va., an accountant who bore a striking resemblance to the sculptor's guesswork. Fingerprints indicated that authorities had found their man. New Jersey prosecutors expect to charge List/Clark with five overdue counts of first-degree murder...

...Office for the Arts at Harvard and Radcliffe presents the newest Quad outdoor sculptural installation, Gargoyles, by Bert Snow, a Somerville sculptor. The visiting artist at Cabot House, Snow has created Gargoyles to perch on top of the Georgian style dormitories. A dormer-window inspired sculpture, Gargoyles will sit more than 40 feet above the Quad and will respond to variances in the wind. A troika of forms made of steel, wood and nylon, the project will be illuminated at night and filled with natural light by day. Gargoyles addresses more vantage points than last year's picnic tables/artwork...
