Variety in scope and skill mark CAA prize show

...Not
all the work in the show focuses on the figure.
Lisa Venditelli's "Reliquary del Divino, Grade "A"
Prime," which won the award for outstanding

whisks slung in nylon and strung from meat hooks.
It's another piece about the cult of beauty,
cross-referenced with the image of a meat market,
but the rigor of the sculpture has as much to do
with its success as its subject matter...
