Survival of Serena in Central Park for "IT'S HAPPENING"
Celebrating 50 Years of Public Art for NYC “Art In The Park”
One Day Only on Saturday, October 21, 2017
(September 25, 2017 New York, NY) Carole A. Feuerman, American hyperrealist sculptor, will install Survival of Serena as part of the 50th anniversary of its Art in the Parks program by NYC Parks Department. The Carole Feuerman sculpture will be installed in Central Park for one day only on Saturday, October 21, 2017. Since its creation in 1967, Art in the Parks has featured over 2,000 works of art. Survival of Serena sculpture by Feuerman, will be installed at East Pinetum in Central – via the entrance at East 84th Street behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In 2012, Survival of Serena, premiered in Petrosino Square in Soho, chosen by City Department of Parks and Recreation, New York, NY as part of their public arts initiative.
Carole A. Feuerman is recognized as a pioneering figure in the world of hyperrealist sculpture. Together with Hanson and De Andrea, she was one of the three leaders that started the movement in the late seventies by making life-like sculptures that portrayed their models precisely. They are meticulously detailed to create the illusion of a new reality. Dubbed ‘the reigning doyenne of super-realism’ by art historian John T. Spike, Feuerman has solidified her place in art history.
Through her sculptures, Feuerman, creates visual manifestations of the stories she wants to tell of survival, balance and the struggle achieve. She is best known for her large-scale sculptures of swimmers complete with water drops. Feuerman has spent the last four decades sculpting monumental, life-sized, and museum-sized works in bronze, resin, and marble. Her labor-intensive sculptures involve working on the pieces both in wax and bronze, then applying a patina in the foundry, and detailed finishes in her studio.
Carole A. Feuerman continues her focus on public outdoor sculptures and intimate studio artworks. Feuerman maintains two studios; in New York, NY and at Mana Contemporary in New Jersey. Her selected private collectors include the Emperor of Japan, President William & Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Norman Brahman, the Caldic Collection, Mark Parker, Ariella Wertheimer, Robert Hurst, and Malcolm Forbes. On an ongoing basis, Feuerman's work can be seen in selected galleries and museums worldwide.
