It is hard to define sculpture these days. Artists continue to make three-dimensional objects, but the range and variety of materials they employ defy classification. This is enchantingly evident in a show by the Armenian artist Karen Sargsyan at the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art. Mr. Sargsyan, 36, makes figurative sculptures from cut paper. The works in the current show were created during his stay in Peekskill last fall as the center's artist in residence. Depending on how you look at it, the exhibition consists of either hundreds of individual cut paper sculptures arranged across the mezzanine gallery or a single installation made up of many parts.

Is paper passe? Your answer will most likely depend on whether you're reading this sentence on newsprint or on a screen. But it's safe to say that artists and designers aren't ready to quit the stuff, at least by the measure of the latest show at the Museum of Arts and Design. They are, however, willing to pierce, shred, carve and slice it. ''Slash: Paper Under the Knife,'' the third show in the museum's Materials and Process series, explores the sometimes violent, always intricate art of paper cutting. (It follows ''Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting'' and ''Pricked: Extreme Embroidery'' in 2007 and 2008.) [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Folded paper transcends mere craft in the Parrish Art Museum's exhibition ''Paper Transformed -- Origami.'' Here is an astonishing array of lifelike animals made of nothing but folded paper. Some of them are life-size, like a heron, its neck crooked, greeting visitors at the entrance to the show. The nearly 100 sculptures on display here, by the world's leading contemporary origami artists, were made without cutting or gluing. According to the book that accompanies the exhibition, many of the pieces were made with a single sheet of paper. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

By now it's no surprise to find a museum-worthy show of a major artist at a Chelsea gallery. The spoils of this season are such that a large trove of 1970s and '80s Lichtensteins arrived last month without much fanfare at the Gagosian Gallery on West 24th Street, overshadowed by another Gagosian coup -- Monet's late paintings -- a few blocks away. At the Lichtenstein exhibition it's harder to forget that you're in a place of business. The bulk of the more than 50 works in ''Roy Lichtenstein: Still Lifes'' comes from unnamed private collections, not museums, and some are for sale. The very idea of Lichtenstein, who died in 1997, as a studious genre painter may seem like a market-generated fiction; certainly the show is less inviting than the gallery's ''Roy Lichtenstein: Girls'' in 2008.

The brevity of Ree Morton's art career had little to do with the usual reasons for the disappearance of talented women. Morton had married and started a family before she became a full-time artist in the late 1960s, taking just a decade to get up to speed with all the major ''isms.'' She had a show at the Whitney Museum of American Art and an installation at the South Street Seaport and was the subject of an Artforum essay by the influential critic Lucy Lippard. Then in 1977 -- just shy of her 41st birthday -- Morton died in a car accident. Her death, coming not long after those of Eva Hesse in 1970 and Robert Smithson in 1973, dealt another cruel blow to postminimal sculpture. The art world recognized her achievements with a Morton retrospective at the New Museum in 1980. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
