The George and Helen Segal Foundation has agreed to permanently place a piece of George Segal’s artwork in the South Brunswick Library. The piece (pictured from the foundation’s Web site), “Couple Against a Grey Brick Wall,” was completed in 1986 and used two local residents as models.
Segal, who died in 2000, was an influential and important artist — and a longtime South Brunswick resident — whose work includes “Depression Bread Line,” a sculpture for the Franklin D. Roosevelt memorial; “Kent State — Abraham and Isaac,” a sculpture on the campus of Princeton University in memory of the 1970 Kent State shootings; and “The Commuters, Next Departure” at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City.
Bravo.
