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" for the first time in painted bronze with New York City's Department of Parks and Recreation. Its resin sister first 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 prominently installed in Petrosino Square through September before traveling to the Boca Raton Beach Resort in Florida, where it is currently on view. Additional painted bronze sculptures by Feuerman inclding "Next Summer" and "Balance" were publicly showcased by Baker Sponder Gallery at the Boca Raton Beach Club & Resort as well the Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne.
From September 19, 2012 through January 6, 2013, Feuerman's monumental 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 entitled "Body Double: The Figure in Contemporary Sculpture".
On September 29, 2012, Feuerman unveiled her largest work to date, a 16 foot bronze diver entitled "The Golden Mean" at Riverfront Green Park with Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art in Peekskill, NY.. A video documentary on the two-year creation of the massive work plays on loop at the HVCCA gallery space and has also 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. The monumental model the bronze is based on was included in the 2013 Venice Biennale where it is on display in Giardini at the entrance to the Biennale.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or art:
“What the public wants is the image of passion, not passion itself.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
