Neuware - Carole A. Feuerman is celebrated as a pioneer and one of America's major exponents of Hyperrealism in sculpture, alongside Duane Hanson and John De Andrea. Born 1945 and educated in New York and Philadelphia, she began as an illustrator before turning to sculpture in the 1970s, soon gaining much recognition and early success. Her work has been displayed in many group shows and solo exhibitions at private galleries and public museums, as well as at major art fairs, in America, Europe, and Asia. Over five decades, Feuerman has created visual manifestations of stories telling of strength, survival, and balance. Her subject matter is the human figure, most often a woman in an introspective moment of exuberant self-consciousness shaded by erotic lassitude. Feuerman's works represent a female state of mind rather that an alluring body meant to attract the male gaze. They suggest that women look at themselves differently from men looking at them, that a woman is more innately creative than a man. This book is the most comprehensive survey of Feuerman's oeuvre to date. Lavishly illustrated in color throughout, it demonstrates the variety of materials and media she uses and highlights the specific qualities of her figures.; Carole A. Feuerman gehört mit Duane Hanson und John De Andrea zu den amerikanischen Protagonisten der hyperrealistischen Plastik. Die 1945 geborene Künstlerin absolvierte ihre Ausbildung in New York und Philadelphia und begann ihre bildnerische Karriere als Illustratorin, bevor sie sich in den 1970er-Jahren erfolgreich der Skulptur zuwandte. Ihr Werk wurde in zahlreichen Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen in Galerien, Museen und an Kunstmessen in Amerika, Europa und Asien gezeigt. Während fünf Jahrzehnten hat Feuerman lebensechte, vornehmlich weibliche Figuren geschaffen, die uns als erstarrte Momentaufnahmen begegnen. Im Gegensatz zum historisch aufgeladenen Motiv der Badenden ist bei Feuermans Schwimmerinnen nicht der Körper Inhalt der Betrachtung. Er dient vielmehr als Ausdrucksmittel und Formwerdung eines Geisteszustands. Dieses englischsprachige Buch ist der bisher umfangreichste Überblick zu Feuermans uvre. Reich bebildert zeigt es die Virtuosität der Künstlerin und die Vielfalt an Materialien und Medien, derer sie sich bedient.…

- Lavishly illustrated and covering Feuerman's entire career spanning five decades, featuring more than 200 works
Carole A. Feuerman is celebrated as one of America's major hyper-realistic sculptors, alongside Duane Hanson and John De Andrea. Born 1945, she was educated in New York and Philadelphia and began as an illustrator before turning to sculpture in the 1970s, which soon earned her much recognition and early success. A pioneer of hyper-realism in sculpture, her work has been displayed in many group shows and solo exhibitions at private galleries and public museums, as well as at the major art fairs, in America, Europe, and Asia.
Over five decades, Feuerman has created visual manifestations of stories telling of strength, survival, and balance. She works in marble, bronze, vinyl, painted resins, and stainless steel. Her work is marked by her thorough understanding of materials' characteristics and her ability to control them in the studio. Her subject matter is the human figure, most often a woman in an introspective moment of exuberant self-consciousness shaded by erotic lassitude. Feuerman's works represent a state of female mind rather that an alluring body meant to attract the male gaze. They suggest that women look at themselves differently from men looking at them, that a woman is more innately creative than a man. Many of Feuerman's figures have a fragmented quality, recalling those by Auguste Rodin, and the aesthetics of Surrealism.
This is the most comprehensive survey of Feuerman's work in sculpture to date. Lavishly illustrated in colour throughout, it demonstrates the variety of materials and media she uses and highlights the specific qualities of her figures.
