My guest for this episode is Karli Wurzelbacher, curator for The Heckscher Museum of Art. She shared her insights into Emma Stebbins, a great neoclassical sculptor from the 19th century. Around the age of 40, Stebbins left America for Europe, where she studied the classic works found around Italy and rose to prominence as a sculptor. Her work was highly prized during her lifetime, but sadly, after she passed away, her work and neoclassical art more broadly fell out of favor. She was long overlooked by history despite high-profile work, including the Bethesda Fountain in New York's Central Park. The Hecksher Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition, Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History. The show is open now through March 26, 2026. For more information, head over to the Heckscher Musuem of Art's website. If you cannot make it out to see the exhibition in person, you can purchase the book https://www.heckscher.org/stebbinscatalog/ Check out my other podcasts  Fun Facts Daily | Art Smart | Rainbow Puppy Science Lab Who ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.
