Carole A. Feuerman è nata in Connecticut, ma ha sempre vissuto e lavorato a New York, tra Soho e Chelsea. Come ha sottolineato John Spike, nonostante Carole sia di un’intera generazione più giovane di Duane Hanson e John de Andrea, può essere considerata uno dei pionieri della scultura figurativa, realista fino ai minimi dettagli. All’inizio degli anni ’70, mentre Hanson esponeva le sue buste del supermercato ed altre satire Pop Art, Feuerman stava realizzando la copertina per l’album di Alice Cooper e dei Rolling Stones (Monkey Man). Quando nel 1978 fece ritorno alla scultura, lei portò l’Iperrealismo in una nuova e personale direzione. Di questa corrente oggi è la regina incontrastata. I lavori di Carole Feuerman sono presenti nelle collezioni del Presidente Bill Clinton e della Senatrice Hillary Clinton, del Dr. Henry Kissinger, del Presidente Mikhail Gorbachev, del Metropolitan Museum of Art, del Museo State Hermitage di San Pietroburgo, del Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, del Bass Museum of Art di Miami Beach, del Boca Raton Museum, e del Forbes Magazine Art Collection. Nel 2004 partecipa alla mostra An American Odyssey 1945-1980 insieme ad alcuni tra i più promettenti astisti americani del secondo dopoguerra, seguita successivamente dalla mostra monografica presso il QCC Art Museum intitolata Resin to Bronze Topographies. Nel marzo 2007 ha tiene il suo secondo workshop al Metropolitan Museum of Art, dal titolo La Escultura, La Tecnica. Nel giugno 2007 ha tenuto una monografica, By the Sea al Pavilion Paradiso, durante la Biennale di Venezia. Contemporaneamente inaugura un’altra mostra personale, dal titolo Lust & Desire a cura di Peter Frank, presso il Art-St-Urban Museum di Lucerna in Svizzera.
Carole A. Feuerman was born in Connecticut, but has always
lived and worked in New York, between Soho and Chelsea. As noted by John Spike,
she was a full generation younger than Duane Hanson and John de Andrea, but is
one of the pioneers of life-sized and lifelike figure sculpture, down to the
tiniest detail. In the early 70’s, while Hanson was exhibiting his supermarket
shoppers and other Pop Art satires, Feuerman was drawing album art for Alice
Cooper and the Rolling Stones (Monkey Man). When she turned to sculpture in
1978, she took super-realism in a new direction: she got personal. Today, she is the reigning doyenne
of super-realism. Carole Feuerman’s works are included in the collections of
President Bill Clinton & Senator Hillary Clinton, Dr. Henry Kissinger,
President Mikhail Gorbachev, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The State
Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg, the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, the
Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, the Boca Raton Museum, and the Forbes
Magazine Art Collection. In 2004, she exhibited in An American Odyssey
1945-1980 with the most prominent American artists of the post-WWII era. This
was followed by a comprehensive one-person show at the QCC Art Museum entitled
Resin to Bronze Topographies. In March 2007, Feuerman gave her second workshop
at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, La Escultura, La Tecnica. In June 2007, she
had a one person exhibition, “By the Sea”, at the Pavilion Paradiso, at the
Venice Biennale. Simultaneously with this exhibition was her one person show
called “Lust & Desire” which opened at Art-St-Urban Museum, Lucerne,
Switzerland.
