Gertrude Stein Statue

A statue honoring Gertrude Stein – a poet, author, playwright, and art collector.
 
The bronze sculpture on display at Bryant Park, dedicated on November 5th, 1992, is based on a model of the sculptor, Jo Davidson, created in Paris in 1920.
 
This is one of the five sculptures of historic women in the city. The statue’s location, neighboring the New York Public Library, indicates the significant contribution Stein has had on literature.
