About the Item

Carole A. Feuerman is recognized as a pioneering figure in the world of hyperrealist sculpture. Together with Hanson and De Andrea, Feuerman is one of the three artists that started the Hyperrealism movement in the late seventies by making sculptures portraying their models in a life-like manner. Dubbed ‘the reigning doyenne of super-realism’ by art historian John T. Spike, Feuerman has solidified her place in art history. Feuerman’s prolific career spans over four decades and four continents. She has produced a rich body of work in the studio and the public realm. By combining conventional sculptural materials of steel, bronze, and resin, with more unconventional media like water, light, sound, and video, Feuerman creates hybrid works of intricate energy and psychology. She has taught, lectured, and given workshops at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, Columbia University, and Grounds for Sculpture. In 2011, she founded the Carole A. Feuerman Sculpture Foundation. To this day, she continues her focus on public outdoor sculptures, working primarily in bronze. There are four full-color monographs written about her work: Carole Feuerman Sculpture, both editions published by Hudson Hills Press; La Scultura incontra la realtà, available in multiple languages; and Swimmers, published by The Artist Book Foundation. ‘Grande Catalina’, her monumental sculpture featured at the 2007 Venice Biennale, is included in A History of Western Art, published by Harry N. Abrams, and written by Anthony Mason and John T. Spike. Her works are exhibited in private and public collections, galleries, and museums worldwide. They are often integrated with architecture and landscaping in the creation or renovation of buildings and sites. An especially important example is her monumental ‘Double Diver’ spiraling 36 feet in the air, and permanently sited in Silicon Valley, owned by the City of Sunnyvale, California. ‘Survival of Serena’ has been exhibited by New York City Department of Parks & Recreation and is now exhibited publically in the Piazzetta in Capri, Italy. ‘Monumental Quan’ was exhibited in the Frederik Meijer Sculpture Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan and is now in the Venice Biennale. One of Feuerman’s most recognizable pieces, ‘The Golden Mean’, is owned by the City of Peekskill, NY, and can be seen in Riverfront Green Park overlooking the Hudson River. Her latest sculpture, ‘Beyond the Golden Mean’ is 16 feet tall and 2.5 tons of bronze, and is installed in Porto Montenegro. Feuerman has had nine solo museum retrospectives, exhibited extensively worldwide, and is included in the permanent collections of 19 museums. In Italy, she participated in the Venice Biennale four times, as well as in Piazza della Repubblica in Florence, Palazzo Grazie, the Teatro Romano e Museo Civico in Fiesole, and the Musei di Rimini. In China, she has exhibited in Hong Kong, the National Museum of China, and Huan Tai Hu Museum in the Jiangsu province. She has exhibited in Korea at the Clayarch Gimhae Museum, Daejeon Museum, and Suwon Museum. In Germany, she has exhibited at the Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden, the Contemporary Art Museum in Aachen, and in Kassel during Documenta 14 (2017). In Spain, she exhibited at Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao and the Academia de Bellas Artes de Madrid. In Mexico, she has exhibited at Marco Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey, and Denmark at the Arken Museum of Modern Art. The 2017 Venice Biennale features Feuerman’s exhibition “Personal Structures, Open Borders” in conjunction with the Venice Biennale and includes ten of her iconic outdoor painted bronze sculptures in Giardino Della Marinaressa. Feuerman’s work is also exhibited at Venissa in Burano, Palazzo Mora, Palazzo Bembo, and the San Clemente Palace. Her selected collectors include the Emperor of Japan, President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Norman Brahman, the Caldic Collection, Mark Parker, Ariella Wertheimer, Robert Hurst, and Malcolm Forbes. Feuerman seeks to connect with her viewers on an intuitive level, evoking emotion and engagement. It is often the viewer’s participation, or the object/viewer relationship, that completes her work. Feuerman maintains two studios in New York and New Jersey. On an ongoing basis, Feuerman’s work can be seen in selected galleries and museums worldwide.

Carole A. Feuerman

Carole A. Feuerman is an American sculptor and author working in Hyperrealism. She is one of the three major artists credited with starting the movement in the late 1970s. Feuerman is the only woman to sculpt in this style. Her career is highlighted by iconic figurative works of swimmers and dancers. She has been included in exhibitions at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery; the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia; the Venice Biennale; and Palazzo Strozzi Palace in Florence, Italy, among others.

Growing up in New York, Feuerman was deterred from being an artist. She attended Hofstra University, Temple University, and graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York City to begin her career as an illustrator. During the early 1970s she went by the artist’s name Carole Jean, illustrating for the New York Times and creating album covers for Alice Cooper and the Rolling Stones.

In 1981, Feuerman was chosen by a jury at the Heckscher Museum in Long Island where she exhibited. After this she was invited to participate in the “Learning through the Arts Program” at the Guggenheim Museum.

Feuerman received the Charles D. Murphy Sculpture Award in 1981. In 1982 she received the Amelia Peabody Award for sculpture. In 2016, she received the Best in Show Award for her sculpture Mona Lisa by the Huan Tai Museum. The sculpture was acquired for their permanent collection. Feuerman has also been awarded the Medici Prize by the City of Florence, First Prize at the Beijing Biennale, and the Austrian Biennale, and in 2008 she received First Prize in the Olympic Fine Art exhibition in Beijing. The piece was acquired by the Olympic Museum.

She has taught, lectured, and given workshops at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon Guggenheim Museum. In 2011, she founded the Carole A. Feuerman Sculpture Foundation. Her artworks are owned by 18 museums, as well as in the collections of the City of Peekskill, New York, the City of Sunnyvale California, former United States Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, Dr. Henry Kissinger, the Mikhail Gorbachev Art Foundation, Mr. Steven A. Cohen, Alexandre Grendene Bartelle, and the Malcolm Forbes Magazine Collection.

Feuerman’s public works have been displayed across the globe, including but not limited to: Central Park and SoHo, New York; l' Avenue George V in Paris; Harbor City in Hong Kong; Milan, Rome, Giardino della Marinaressa in Italy; New Bond Street, Canary Wharf in London; and Knokke Heist in Belgium. She lives in New York City, and is the wife of Ronald Cohen, and the mother of Lauren Leahy, Sari Gibson, and Craig Feuerman. She has four grandchildren: Hannah Leahy, Sam Leahy, Isla Feuerman, and Kai Feuerman.
