It is called 'Survival of Serena' and is made by Carole Feuerman, a New York based artist. She is known for her hyperrealistic sculptures of swimmers and bathers. I was (and am) amazed by the details in this sculpture (painted bronze). She has some hairs peeking from under her bathing cap, there are water drops on her arms and face, here eyelashes and eyebrows are amazing! For some reason I only made three photos of this sculpture. (it was quite busy with people who wanted to pose next to Serena, I think I got bored waiting for a moment without all these people...)
WOW! Nellie, I think you need to go back for more pictures. This is incredible. That bottom photo is so real looking!
ReplyDeleteah, thats quite pretty! what about the graffiti? it seems there is some that doesnt belong there...?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image. And beautiful place in the heart of Nolita!
ReplyDeleteWat een schitterend beeld is dat, zo levensecht. IK dacht echt dat het een foto van een slapend meisje was. Prachtig.
