This sculpture called Genesis can be seen outside the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Department of Dentistry, at Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, New York. I pass it every time I go to the dentist and this day I decided to take pictures.
I also thought I'd look into the sculptor, Judy Brown. I was able to identify Judith Brown (1932-1992) as the artist.
Here's a little of her bio:
Sculpture was the main focus of her work. She was truly in her element, when she was in her studio working. Over the decades she experimented with many different forms of sculpting, but all were related to metals. These included steel, brass, bronze, gold, silver, and copper to name a few. Her favorite metal to work with was not a specific metal, but a type of metal...junk. All major pieces started in junkyards. She would scour junkyards with a portable oxygen/acetylene cutting torch cutting mangled pieces of metal that would turn into sculptures.
Here's a picture of her sketching:
This is probably a picture of her near the end of her life. She died at 60 years of age.
