Carole A. Feuerman (American, born )

Carole A. Feuerman (American, b. 1945) began sculpting in the 1970s, and established herself as one of America’s most acclaimed Hyper-Realists. Known for her sensuous themes of swimmers and bathers, complete with translucent water drops, her work takes the concept of art imitating life to a new level. Executed in painted resin with tactile flesh and meticulous detail, they display both Contemporary and Classical influences. Over the past decade, she has also developed a highly original technique of sculpting with molten metal, creating multi-layered, organic bronzes in the spirit of Action Painting.

Feuerman has exhibited in museums and galleries all over the world, from the 2008 Olympic Fine Arts Exhibition to biennales in Venice, Florence, Beijing, and Austria, and is in the permanent collections of eighteen museums, including the El Paso Museum of Art, the Boca Raton Museum of Art, and the Bass Museum, among others. Her works are in many private collections around the world, including in the collection of his majesty the Emperor of Japan, President Bill Clinton and Mrs. Hillary Clinton, Norman Braham, Dr. Henry Kissinger, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, the Malcolm Forbes Magazine Collection, and the President Mihail S. Gorbachov Foundation. Her sculptures have also been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the State Hermitage Museum, among many other institutions. A second solo exhibition of her wok in the Venice Biennale is scheduled for 2017.

Feuerman's work has also been the subject of four published monographs: Carole Feuerman Sculpture in two editions by Hudson Hills Press, La Scultura in Contra la Realta by Edizioni Polistampa, and Swimmers by The Artist Book Foundation.
