Puellae, Bronze sculpture at National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, United States.
The Puellae sculpture consists of multiple standing human forms arranged in a group formation, representing the collective human experience through metal craftsmanship.
Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz created this sculpture in 1982, and it was permanently installed in the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden in 1992.
The sculpture reflects themes of individuality within collective groups, a recurring subject in Abakanowicz's work during the post-war period in Eastern Europe.
Visitors can view the sculpture daily during garden hours from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with access through the Constitution Avenue entrance.
Each figure in the Puellae group maintains individual characteristics while forming part of a larger installation, creating a visual dialogue about human connections.
