After all, she created an iconic monument—the angel-topped Bethesda Fountain in New York’s Central Park. The Heckscher was not only the first museum to acquire Stebbins’s work but, for many decades, the only one to do so. The wings of Stebbins’s angel [on the Bethesda Fountain] are horizontal. Later, Stebbins became the first woman to earn a public sculpture commission from the City of New York for the Bethesda Fountain. The show also includes works by contemporary artists like Martha Edelheit, Patricia Cronin and Ricky Flores—whose 1983 photograph shows the Bethesda Fountain at the heart of the annual Puerto Rican Day Parade.
