A larger version of this sculpture was originally conceived in limestone to decorate an outdoor garden in Long Island.

Description

Dancing Figure displays the geometrically simplified forms and softened angles that are a hallmark of Elie Nadelman’s work. Its spiraling composition presents a woman whose body partially twists on bended knee. Her raised arms echo the position of her legs.
