Alice in Wonderland, Bronze sculpture in Central Park, United States
Alice in Wonderland is an 11-foot-tall bronze sculpture in Central Park featuring Alice perched on a mushroom, surrounded by the White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, and other story characters. The grouping sits near the Conservatory Water at East 74th Street.
The sculpture was created in 1959 by Spanish-American artist Jose de Creeft as a memorial gift from George Delacorte to his wife Margarita. It became part of a series of artworks the patron commissioned in the park.
The characters come from John Tenniel's original illustrations of Lewis Carroll's novel, with Alice modeled after the sculptor's daughter. The bronze figures show characters that have drawn visitors across generations.
The sculpture sits in an easily accessible part of the park with clear pathways and nearby amenities. Visitors can view the figures from different angles and enjoy the surrounding green space nearby.
The Mad Hatter's face bears the features of George Delacorte himself, the patron behind this sculpture. Text from Jabberwocky is inscribed around the base, referencing other works by the author.
