Next Summer, 2016
Biography 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 leaders 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 seven continents. She has had nine museum retrospectives and four catalogue raisonnés published. Her works are exhibited in private collections, galleries, parks, and museums worldwide. She has exhibited four times in the prestigious Venice Biennale, as well as in Piazza della Repubblica in Florence, Palazzo Grazie, the Teatro Romano e Museo Civico in Fiesole, and the Musei di Rimini. She has exhibited in Harbour City of Hong Kong, the National Museum of China in Shanghai, and Huan Tai Hu Museum in the Jiangsu province of China. She has exhibited at the Clayarch Gimhae Museum, Daejeon Museum, and Suwon Museum in Korea. In Germany, she has exhibited at the Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden, as well as the Contemporary Art Museum in Aachen. In Spain, she exhibited at Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao and the Academia de Bellas Artes de Madrid. She has exhibited at Marco Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey, and her work is currently on display in Denmark at the Arken Museum of Modern Art. Numerous public sculptures have been exhibited outdoors including Petrosino Square in New York City and the Frederik Meijer Sculpture Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 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 monumental 'Double Diver', spiraling 36 feet in the air, is permanently sited in Silicon Valley and owned by the City of Sunnyvale, California. In 2011, she founded the Carole A. Feuerman Sculpture Foundation. From 2016 to 2017, she has had solo shows at C24 Gallery in New York, KM Fine Art in Los Angeles, Aria Gallery in Florence and London, the DeLand Museum of Art in DeLand, Florida, Lotte Palace Hotel in New York, and the National Hotel in Miami for Art Basel. Her sculpture, 'The General’s Daughter', which she exhibited at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., was selected for the traveling museum exhibition called, 'Hyperrealist Sculpture 1973-2017'. The show originated in Bilbao, at the Museo de Bellas Artes and then traveled to the Contemporáneo Museo de Monterrey, Mexico. It is now at the Arken Art Museum in Denmark, and will be traveling to Australia. In February, she had a solo show, 'Perception, In the Eye of the Beholder’ at One Exchange Plaza in New York with C24 Gallery and the Chashama Foundation. This June she is having a joint exhibition at the Krasl Art Center in St. Joseph, Michigan. May 15th marked the opening of Personal Structures: Open Borders, with ten new outdoor works installed in Giardini Marinaressa in Venice. This exhibition was organized by GAA, hosted by the European Cultural Centre and sponsored by Bel-Air Fine Art. It will continue through December, 2017. Simultaneously to this, she has two other solo shows in Venice at San Clemente Palace and at Vanessa in Burano. She is included in two shows, one at Palazzo Bembo and the other at Palazzo Mora which are part of the 2017 Venice Biennale. Her ‘Monumental Survival of Serena’ is prominently installed in Piazzetta Capri and ‘Beyond the Golden Mean’ is installed in St. Tropez. Also this June, she is exhibiting in Kassel, Germany. Her selected private 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.

ESSAYS CAROLE A. FEUERMAN GOLDEN MEAN DIVINA PROPORZIONE John T. Spike, Art Historian, Assistant Director & Chief Curator of the Muscarelle Museum of Art Feuerman’s ‘Golden Mean Divina Proporzione ’ is a 14-foot stainless steel and epoxy patina sculpture dedicated to Venice, the only city that combines Renaissance art, science and the sea. An avid fan of the Olympics, Feuerman was inspired by and studied the shapes created by swimmers’ bodies as they dove off the high platform, often from handstands. The parabola the body makes for only a moment resonated in her memory. ‘Golden Mean Divina Proporzione’, 2013, is based on Feuerman’s 14-foot bronze ‘Golden Mean’ of 2012, which is on permanent exhibition in Riverfront Green Park overlooking the mighty Hudson River at Peekskill, New York. The golden mean is a beautifully simple piece of mathematics apparently discovered by Pythagoras of Samos, and first written down three centuries later in Euclid’s Elements. Euclid called it ‘extreme and mean proportion’. The golden mean is a ratio between two unequal parts of a quantity, roughly 1:1.6, which means that the smaller part is to the larger part, as the larger part is to the whole. This ratio yields an irrational number with infinite decimal places, 1.618… (Phi). The golden ratio is integral to the configuration of pentagrams, sacred to Pythagoras, and other geometric forms, including the parabola. In 1509, mathematician Fra Luca Pacioli published in Venice his treatise De divina proportione, with drawings of polyhedral by Leonardo da Vinci. Pacioli called the golden mean ‘divine proportion’. Merging science, art and philosophy in the Renaissance way, Pacioli wrote that the ratio is divine because it is a perfect and unchanging unity. On Pacioli’s influence, the golden mean acquired the fame of being uniquely beautiful, although most artists have preferred to seek their own proportions. When Michelangelo was asked about the measurements of his figures, he said, “one needs to have compasses in the eyes and not the hands, because the hands work, and the eyes judge”. Born in 1945, Feuerman began her career in the Seventies as one of the founders of super realist figurative sculpture, together with Duane Hanson and John de Andrea. She has exhibited many times in Venice, and her works are in major collections and museums of modern art. ‘Golden Mean Divina Proporzione ’ was expressly made for this exhibition at InParadiso in the Giardini of the Biennale, under the patronage of the Concilio Europeo dell’Arte and the Muscarelle Museum of Art.
STATES OF ECSTASY AND SELF-REALIZATION John Yau, Poet, Art Critic, New York, NY Carole A. Feuerman is a realist sculptor working in materials ranging from marble and bronze to vinyl and painted resins. Whether she is using ancient processes and materials or contemporary ones, her subject matter is the human figure, most often a woman in an introspective moment of exuberant self-consciousness shaded by erotic lassitude. Her exuberance is partially the result of rather ordinary circumstances; she has just stepped from the shower or is resting on an inner tube in a swimming pool. From an art historical perspective, Feuerman is one of a small number of postwar sculptors who successfully rejected Minimalism in favor of the human figure. These sculptors faced a daunting challenge, which was how to make a freestanding sculpture of the human figure that didn’t appear nostalgic, and that didn’t look back to the heroic work of Rodin. The challenge is clear enough: how do you keep the figure intact without being wistful for that moment before Impression dissolved forms and Cubism shattered the world. At the same time, Feuerman shares something with the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, who took leisure as one of their primary subjects. In Edouard Manet's painting, Banks of the Seine at Argenteuil (1874), the viewer sees a woman and child standing on the riverbank. A few sailboats are visible in the river, waiting. The boats’ primary function is to provide pleasure, a subject that Claude Monet, Pierre Renoir and Georges Seurat also explored in their work. Among contemporary postwar sculptors, Feuerman has affinities with John de Andrea, Duane Hanson, Marisol, Mary Frank, and George Segal, other figural sculptors who thrived in the face of the challenge to make work that took the human figure as the primary subject. The significant difference between Feuerman’s lifelike sculptures and those made by the sculptors I have just mentioned is twofold. First, her subjects are caught in a moment of transition that radiates an intense eroticism. Second, her figures seem capable of thought. They evoke an inward life, which invites the viewer’s speculation as well as signals the distance between them and us. We can never know what they might be thinking. And that perhaps is the point.
Feuerman makes this state of seeing and not-knowing all the more complex by directing our attention to a moment that is both familiar and highly charged. In her work, the ordinary and elemental become extraordinary and highly charged. In Reflections (75” x 21” x 21”, oil painted resins, 1985), a woman who has just stepped out of the shower is tying a bath towel around her hair. Her hands are above her head, which is tilted back, her eyes are closed, her back is arched, and droplets of water cascade down her skin. She is immersed in a reflective state of intense ecstasy. An astute observer of our public and private gestures, Feuerman has made a sculpture that does not culminate in a punch line. This is what further distinguishes her work from the largely resigned faces of Duane Hanson’s dour figures. She isn’t trying to fool the viewer into thinking the figures are real. Her work inhabits time, as well as recognizes that time is passing. Because we cannot ever know the story the woman in the red sweater inhabits, we must complete a narrative that defers closure. Is the figure she is toasting diminutive? The angle of her glance suggests this as a possibility. And yet, might not this view of her just be a projection on our part? Perhaps she is alone and toasting no one. That Feuerman can include such radically incommensurable narratives in a single piece is a testament to the clarity of her vision. In an age where eroticism of any kind is regarded as a threat, Feuerman challenges us to rethink the way we understand our own physical bodies. Can we become sensual, self-satisfied beings in touch with the elements, with water, sun, earth and air? Can we become sensualists and thinkers? Can mind and body be brought together? Or must we leave one or the other behind?

Carola A. Feuerman. Sculture iperrealiste di nuotatrici Di margherita giovedĂŹ 14 agosto 2008
"Survival of Serena" era apparsa alla Biennale di Venezia nel 2007, "Olympic Swimmer" e' esposta all'Olympic Fine Arts Exhibition ai giochi di Pechino 2008. Entrambe raffigurano due nuotatrici e sono le sculture iperrealiste di Carola A. Feuerman. La Feuerman e' famosa per ritrarre figure in grandi dimensioni di nuotatrici e bagnanti, con uno stile realistico che piace a livello internazionale. Una versione della statua di Serena e' in mostra al National Museum of China di Pechino, mentre la nuotatrice olimpica sara' sistemata in modo permanente nella Forbidden City. L'artista ha anche uno studio a Firenze dove e' prevista una mostra a Forte Belvedere nella primavera del 2009. Il suo repertorio comprende molti lavori, ma il tema delle nuotatrici mi sembra il piu' adatto per la stagione vacanziera, i Giochi Olimpici e le gare di nuoto di questi giorni. Ultima curiosita'. Luca Calvani (un reduce dell'Isola) ha fatto da modello ad una sua statua. Sculture di Carole A. Feuerman
