Carole a. Feuerman
Carole A. Feuerman (1945) is an American superrealist sculptor born in Hartford, Connecticut. She currently lives and works in New York. In 2011, she founded the Carole A. Feuerman Sculpture Foundation.
Feuerman began her sculpting career in the 1970s by making fragmented wall sculptures. She stayed with fragments until the early 2000s when she started making sculptures of the entire figure. Her works range in size from miniature to monumental. She has made oil paintings, prints, photographs, video art and sand casted bronze pieces. She is best known for her swimmers, creating both indoor and outdoor works.
Selected exhibitions include The Seaport, Park Ave and Central Park in New York, Art D’ Egypte in Cairo, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C., the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, and the Palazzo Strozzi Palace in Florence. Her sculptures are also in the permanent collections of thirty-four museums, as well as the cities of Sunnyvale, CA, and Peekskill, NY. Feuerman’s works are featured in the private collections of Steven A. Cohen, Former President Clinton, Dr. Henry Kissinger, and Malcolm Forbes, among others. Additionally, she has taught, lectured, and given workshops at institutions like the Guggenheim Museum and the Metropolitan Museum.
