Life and work

Early life

Rolling Stones.[6] She made the cover image for the November 1975 issue of National Lampoon magazine.[citation needed

Public works

In 1981, Feuerman was chosen by a jury at the

Guggenheim Museum.[6]

In 1989, Feuerman began to work her first big marketing campaign with

Absolut Vodka. Since Sweden did not allow the advertising of alcohol, Absolut Vodka's marketing plan was to push advertising in other areas of the world. Feuerman created life-sized figures within a glass display which were paraded in trucks on the streets of Los Angeles and Manhattan.[7]

In 2008, Feuerman was commissioned by artist

Grounds for Sculpture.[8]

In May 2012, Feuerman unveiled her monumental sculpture Survival of Serena in painted bronze with

Boca Raton Beach Resort in Florida.[10]
In 2012, Feuerman's Quan, a painted bronze sculpture of a woman balancing atop a ball of polished stainless steel, was featured at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan as part of the group show Body Double: The Figure in Contemporary Sculpture.[11]

In May 2014, NetApp unveiled a new commission by Feuerman titled Double Diver, gifted to the City of Sunnyvale, California.[15] The sculpture is 2½ tons of bronze and steel balancing on two 6-inch wrists.[15]

In 2015, Feuerman had solo exhibitions in Florence,[16] Hong Kong,[17] Frankfurt,[18] Korea, New York, Miami, and Chicago. She was part of a group show Love at the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art.[19] Two of her sculptures, DurgaMa and Leda and the Swan, were included in the 2015 Venice Biennale at Palazzo Mora.[20]

In 2017, the Global Art Affairs Foundation organized a solo show honoring Feuerman entitled Personal Structures – Open Borders, one of many exhibitions surrounding the Venice Biennale, where Feuerman has had a presence for decades.[21]

In the summer of 2018, Feuerman had a solo exhibition in Knokke-Heist, Belgium, as part of the 25th Edition of Sculpture Link. The exhibition featured eleven of her outdoor public works including the sculpture entitled "The Midpoint".[22][23]
