45 pieces by Saint-Gaudens, 1848-1907, will be presented at The Met until November. Born in Dublin, Ireland, he moved to the U.S. as a child and apprenticed in New York City. He is credited with steering American sculpture away from the usual classical subjects of the time to a more natural, dynamic style.
