Video biography about artist carole feuerman
Carole A. Feuerman is an American sculptor and artist working in Hyperrealism, a movement that began in the 1970s in relation to photorealist painting. Born in 1945, Feuerman was a full generation younger than Duane Hanson and John de Andrea, the pioneers of Hyperrealism in figurative sculpture. Dubbed "the reigning doyenne of super-realism" by art historian John T. Spike, Feuerman achieved fame through her life-like portrayals of female swimmers.

Public art
In 2003, Feuerman was commissioned by artist Seward Johnson and the Sculpture Foundation to create a one of a kind painted bronze sculpture installation for the permanent collection of Grounds for Sculpture.
On May 20, 2012, Feuerman unveiled her monumental sculpture Survival of Serena in painted bronze with New York City's Department of Parks and Recreation. Its resin sister debuted at the Venice Biennale in 2007. The new Survival of Serena is the first of a series of painted bronze sculptures by the artist designed specifically for outdoor placement. The bronze sculpture was installed in Petrosino Square through September before traveling to the Boca Raton Beach Resort in Florida. From September 19, 2012 through January 6, 2013, Feuerman's work Quan, in painted bronze and polished stainless steel, was featured at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan as part of the group show Body Double: The Figure in Contemporary Sculpture.
A 16-foot (4.9 m) bronze diver entitled The Golden Mean at Riverfront Green Park with Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art in Peekskill, New York was unveiled on September 29, 2012, Feuerman's largest work to date. A video documentary on the five-year creation of the work has been posted online. In 2013, The City of Peekskill announced the acquisition of the sculpture as a permanent monument to the town. A second diver was created for her spring 2013 solo exhibition at Jim Kempner Fine Art also titled The Golden Mean, where it is on display in the outdoor sculpture garden through the summer and then moved to an 8 piece outdoor sculpture exhibition at Mana Contemporary in Jersey City. The monumental model used to create the bronze was installed in the 2013 Venice Biennale.
On May 30, 2014, NetApp unveiled a new sculpture by Feuerman titled Double Diver during a ceremony at its headquarters in Sunnyvale, California. The sculpture is 2½ tons of bronze and steel balancing on two 6-inch wrists.
In 2015, Feuerman had solo exhibitions in Florence, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Korea, New York, Miami, and Chicago. She was part of a group show Love at the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art. Two of her sculptures, DurgaMa and Leda and the Swan, were included in the 2015 Venice Biennale at Palazzo Mora.
In 2017, the Global Art Affairs Foundation organized an exhibition entitled Personal Structures – Open Borders in the context of the 57th Venice Art Biennale of Feuerman's sculptures in the Giardino della Marinaressa, a public park located next to the Giardini della Biennale, in which the Venice Biennale takes place.
Feuerman currently also has solo shows at Venissa in Burano and at the San Clemente Palace Kempinski of Isola di San Clemente.
