Outdoor Art Blooms in Carl Schurz Park - 2004 Dorothy Frankel's Sign Language Sculptures were on View Through December 2004 The New York City Department of Parks & Recreation is pleased to announce the exhibition of three bronze sculptures by artist Dorothy Frankel at Carl Schurz Park. Located along John Finley Walk at 86th Street, the three bronzes depict human hands "speaking" the words for love and connection in sign language. Relationship-Connection (on loan from Henry Buhl), L.O.V.E. #2, and I Love You #1 are part of a larger series of work based on sign language that Dorothy Frankel completed in recent years. Slightly larger than life, the sculptures are modeled in terra cotta from a life model and then cast in bronze. Patricia Hamilton, Public Art Coordinator & Dorothy with "The hand gestures of these sculptures represent a form of visual poetry and communicate powerful and positive images of the human condition," said Frankel, who lives and works in Sag Harbor, New York. Reflecting Frankel's interest in surface color and texture, the patina's range from earthy red to dark green, and the bronze castings capture the imprint of the artist's hands.
DOROTHY FRANKEL'S SCULPTURE
SELECTED FOR
Bronze Arm, a sculpture by artist Dorothy Frankel, has been selected for installation at the Pratt Sculpture Park in Brooklyn, New York, sponsored by Pratt Institute. The 11" x 32" x 5" sculpture is part of an ongoing series of bird feeder pieces and fountains that Frankel has created for outdoor spaces. "I have always had an interest in feeding the birds, and visit the Morton Wildlife Refuge located between Noyac and Little Peconic Bays in Long Island with a supply of bird seed. The threads that weave my sculptures together are the bonds between nature and spirit. The evocation of these relationships gives the work serene and contemplative tones, offering sanctuary and opportunities for reflection."
