John T Spike, Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag. Carole A. Feuerman is one of the founding members of the hyperrealist movement in American sculpture that began in the 1970s and continues to capture the attention and acclaim of both the public and prominent art critics to the present day. After an early commercial career in illustration, Feuerman rose to fame as one of just three artists, including Duane Hanson and John De Andrea, who portrayed their models precisely as they were. Her works-especially the lifelike portrayals of swimmers for which she is best known-have been displayed in numerous group shows and solo exhibitions at museums and art fairs worldwide. The most comprehensive survey of Feuerman's work to date, Carole A. Feuerman: Fifty Years of Looking Good is lavishly illustrated with 120 color photographs. Over five decades, Feuerman has worked in a variety of materials and media, including marble, bronze, vinyl, resin, and stainless steel, and her work is marked by a thorough mastery of each. Her most common subject is the female figure-often depicted in a moment of quiet and sometimes sensual introspection. Her sculptures evoke a female state of mind rather than an alluring body meant to attract the male gaze. They suggest that women see themselves differently than men see them, as more innately instinctive.…

- The most comprehensive monograph to date on major American artist Carole A. Feuerman, a pioneer of hyper-realism in sculpture
- 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.
