Story summary

Paul Troubetzkoy, the sculptor, is the focus of a new exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in Milan.
Troubetzkoy produced fluid, tactile sculptures that captured likenesses of Leo Tolstoy and Mary Pickford from the late 1880s until his death in 1938.
Critics later overlooked Troubetzkoy as art moved toward abstraction, and the show seeks to address his historical neglect.
The exhibition runs through June 28.
