DAVID HAYES—Willard, 29 East 72nd. A raft of first-rate sculpture crowds the galleries this week; at least 13 shows are worth a prolonged look. David Hayes's is one. In his second New York exhibition, he proves convincingly that, at 33, he belongs in the top rank of important young sculptors. Hayes, an American, has a studio outside Paris, where he hammers and welds forged steel into mat-black shapes of brute strength. His works are small but weighty, simple but bursting with power. His Seated Beast, with only two legs, has a yowling, cavernous mouth for a head, and his armless Gladiator stares blindly from two huge orbital cavities. Through Nov. 21.
