Carole Feuerman is acknowledged as one of America's major realist sculptors. In 2004, she exhibited in "An American Odyssey 1945-1980" with the most prominent American artists of the post-WWII era. A comprehensive one-person show at the QCC Art Museum entitled "Resin to Bronze Topographies" (catalogue essays authored by critics John Yau and Donald Kuspit) was followed by installation of her work into the permanent collection of the prestigious Grounds for Sculpture. Feuerman's selected honors include the Peabody Award, the Betty Parson Sculpture Award, the Medici Award, and the Award from Cadillac Motors. Her work is included in the selected collections of President Bill Clinton & Senator Hillary Clinton, Dr. Kissinger, President Gorbachov, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the State Hermitage, St. Petersburg, the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art, the Bass Museum, the Boca Raton Museum, and the Forbes Magazine Art Collection. Last March 2007, Feuerman gave her second workshop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, called "La Escultura, La Tecnica," organized by the museum's education curator, Rosa Tejada. This past June 2007, Feuerman had a solo exhibition called, "By the Sea," curated by John T. Spike, at the Pavilion Paradiso, Venice Biennale. In August, Feuerman exhibited at OPEN 2007, an International Sculpture Exhibition, curated by Paolo de Grandis, coinciding with the Venice Film Festival in Lido. Her work can be seen in New York City at the Jim Kempner Gallery where “People Places and Things,” curated by Dru Arstark, features Feuerman’s monumental sculpture, “The Survival of Serena” in their garden. In San Francisco, Feuerman is represented by the Scott Richards Gallery. “Lust & Desire”, curated by Peter Frank, and their Director: Gertrude Kohler-Aeschlimann (catalogue essays by critics Stephen C.

In Italy and London, she is represented by the Moretti Gallery where she has three bronze sculptures on view at their London location. This coming June she will have a one person exhibition at Moretti, Florence, complete with a new book and a film about the work she is creating in her Florence studio.
