of life. [The Sculptures] do

many things; they can

warm up ... a park or

public space and they

invite people to come into

that space, so that they

don't feel quite alone. They

also make good neighbors

— they don't make a lot of

noise.

Realism has the capacity to

reach everyone; there is no

age barrier, no culture

barrier. As the breadth of

communication expands,

so does the potency of a

particular work”.

Sharing the Headlines by Seward Johnson ©1991

Seward Johnson is most widely known for his sculptures depicting people engaged in every day activities. Johnson's desire to highlight the mundane in his Celebrating the Familiar sculpture series has brought a unique voice to the world of art in public spaces.

Following an early career as a painter, Seward Johnson turned his talents to the medium of sculpture. Since then, more than 450 of Johnson's life-size cast bronze figures have been featured in private collections and museums in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, as well as prominent places in the public realm such as Rockefeller Center, Pacific Place, Hong Kong, Les Halles in Paris and Via Condotti in Rome
