Too Hot to Handle: Long Island Girl with Carole Feuerman at the Museum of Sex


Details
In collaboration with the Real Art Muse, join us on Thursday July 24th for an exclusive artist-led tour of the hottest new art exhibit in town! Long Island Girl at the Museum of Sex showcases a remarkable series of sculptures by renowned New York artist Carole Feuerman— works begun in 1976 and never-before publicly exhibited in the United States.

These early figurative fragments mark Feuerman’s bold entry into Pop realism—provocative, emotional, and deeply personal. Originally censored after a debut in Fort Worth in 1978, this body of work is now finally being unveiled, offering a rare glimpse into the foundation of a sculptor who would go on to define super realistic art.
Feuerman’s sculptures are more than hyperrealism—they are meditations on inner life, private states, and transcendence. Her evocative style invites psychological interpretation, standing apart from contemporaries like George Segal and Duane Hanson, even as she shared their Pop-inspired influences.
With a background paralleling Andy Warhol’s—both began in advertising and designed for The Rolling Stones—Feuerman redefined the sculptural form through life casts, repeated motifs, and the raw immediacy of everyday figures. Her works echo the visual language of 1960s media culture, but with a grace and emotional depth all her own.
Don’t miss the chance to learn the stories behind these powerful works from the artist herself—plus the opportunity to continue chatting with the artist over rooftop drinks & bites at the gorgeous Nubeluz by Jose Andres after the tour.
