CAROLE A FEUERMAN Biography
Carole A. Feuerman is internationally acknowledged as one of the world’s most prominent hyperrealist sculptors. Her prolific career spans four decades. Working in resin, marble and bronze, Feuerman sculpts life-size, monumental and miniature works that encompass a trompe-l’oeil technique. In her resin work, she treats each piece as a 3-dimensional canvas, applying multiple layers of paint, and finishing with her signature water droplets. Working in molten metals, she has also developed her own unique methodology of sculpting which she calls “painting with fire”.
Feuerman has had six museum retrospectives to date and has been included in prominent exhibitions at The State Hermitage, The Palazzo Strozzi Foundation, the Kuntsmuseum Ahlen and the Circulo de Bellas Artes. Among the notable honors she has received are the Amelia Peabody Award, the Betty Parsons Award, the Lorenzo de Medici Prize, and first prizes at the Austrian Biennale, the Florence Biennale, the 2008 Beijing Biennale and the Beijing Olympics Fine Arts Exhibition. Her work is in the selected collections of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev, the Forbes Magazine Collection, the Caldic Collection, and Credit Swiss Collection. Selected public collections include Grounds for Sculpture, the El Paso Museum of Art, the Boca Raton Museum of Art, the Bass Museum, Vin & Sprithistoriska Museet and Art-st-Urban. She has taught, lectured and given workshops at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon Guggenheim Museum and Columbia University. There are currently three full-color monographs about her work: Carole A. Feuerman: Sculpture, written by Eleanor Munro and published by Hudson Hills Press, now in its second edition, and Carole A. Feuerman: La Scultura Incontra la Realta, by Gabriele Caioni, which is available in both English and Italian. Her monumental sculpture “Grande Catalina” is featured in A History of Western Art by Antony Mason and John T. Spike and published by Abrams Books in twelve languages.
Feuerman was granted her first retrospective at the Queens Museum in 1987, followed by her second retrospective at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art in 2000. In 2004, her sculpture “Sunburn” was featured in the highly acclaimed group exhibition “An American Odyssey, 1945/1980: Debating Modernism,” which was curated by Stephen C. Foster and opened at the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, Spain. The exhibition surveyed over one hundred works of iconic American artists and travelled to Salamanca and Coruna before coming to New York in 2005. The New York Times and the New Yorker, among others, reviewed the exhibition. The same year featured Feuerman's third retrospective entitled “Resin to Bronze Topographies” at the City University of New York.
In 2007, Feuerman had a solo show entitled “By the Sea” at the Pavilion Paradiso, curated by John T. Spike at the Venice Biennale, which drew a quarter-million visitors. The exhibition prominently showcased her monumental sculptures “Survival of Serena” and “Grande Catalina” at the entrance to the Biennale. Simultaneous to the Biennale, Feuerman exhibited in OPEN 2007, an international sculpture exhibition in Venice, as well as a solo show entitled “Lust and Desires” at Art-St-Urban in Lucerne, Switzerland. Following these successes, she had a major solo exhibition in Florence’s prestigious Moretti Gallery and was the featured artist in “46 XX” at Moscow’s Na Solyanke State Gallery in Red Square.
Feuerman’s next retrospective, held in 2008, was at The Archeological Museum in Fiesole, Italy, followed by inclusion in “Art and Illusion: Masterpieces of Trompe-l’oeil from Antiquity to the Present” at the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation. The year closed with her fifth retrospective “Silence-Passion-Expression” at the Amarillo Art Museum in Texas, which was nominated by the AISEI for the best Monographic Exhibition. In 2009, Feuerman had a New York solo show entitled “Swimmers, Bathers, Nudes” at Jim Kempner Fine Art in Chelsea. In 2010, Feuerman’s sculpture “Monumental Shower” was exhibited in “Intimacy, Bathing in Art” alongside works by ninety artists including Edgar Degas, Louise Bourgeois, Fernando Botero, David Hockney and Joseph Beuys at the Kunstmuseum Ahlen in Germany. During the fall of 2010, Feuerman had her sixth retrospective, entitled “Earth Water Air Fire,” at the El Paso Museum of Art. The exhibition showcased fifty-two works and premiered her video and sculptural installations. Following the close of the exhibition, the museum’s members voted and selected her sculpture “Summer” for purchase into their permanent collection.
From December 2010 through April 2011, Feuerman had a solo exhibition at the Elaine Baker Gallery in Boca Raton, Florida. Continuing in 2011 were solo shows at Galerie Hübner & Hübner in Frankfurt, Germany and Aria Art Gallery in Florence, Italy. In August, her bronze sphere “New World – AM/PM” was featured in “Afterwards and Forward: A ten year 9/11 reflective art exhibition” at the New Jersey City University. 2012 began with exhibits at the Los Angeles Art Show with Timothy Yarger Fine Art, the Palm Springs Fine Art Fair with Scott Richards Contemporary Art, and Art Karlsruhe with Galerie Huebner in Germany.
From May through September, New York City Department of Parks and Recreation will showcase Feuerman's first hyperrealistically painted bronze, "Survival of Serena", in Petrosino Square in SoHo. In connection with the Summer Olympics, Feuerman will unveil her latest monumental sculpture, "Diver", towering twelve feet high in London with Elaine Baker Gallery. Rarity Gallery in Mykonos will feature a solo exhibition during the summer followed by solo shows in the fall at ZCA Gallery in Israel and Jim Kempner Fine Art in Chelsea. From September through January, Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan will debut Feuerman's hyperrealistic bronze and stainless steel sculpture "Quan" in conjunction with ArtPrize. On an ongoing basis, Feuerman's work can be seen worldwide in all galleries representing her.
CAROLE A FEUERMAN Statement
All of my life, making art has been my passion. As I have experienced life, the forms that my work has taken have evolved and deepened and my love for creating has endured. I want my art to inspire the viewer to look closely at what stands before them. One never knows what’s in the mind, even when there is a smile on one’s face. It is not the fleeting moment that I try to capture, but the universal feeling caught in that fleeting moment.
I want the viewer to complete the story, to reflect and feel touched. If this connection could be for eternity, it would be my masterpiece.
