Sculpture In The Extended Field

Q1: " And though this pulling and stretching of a term such as sculpture is overtly performed in the name of vanguard aesthetics - the ideology of the new - its covert message is that of historicism." I understand what historicism is but iss she saying that the message underlying all the new kinds of art sculptures is historicism?

Q2: I don't really understand her example of the fading logic of the monument using Rodin's Gates of Hell and Balzac. Because both sculptures failed, does that mean they shouldn't be considered monuments, therefore not a sculpture?
