- Central Park, "Pulitzer Fountain Sculpture" -
Location   Grand Army  Plaza at 59th   Street and Fifth Avenue
Pulitzer   Fountain - Sculptor:   Karl Bitter   (1867-1915) Date:
1916; Placed   in   Park: 1916   Donor: Joseph  Pulitzer Material:
Bronze   statue, granite   fountain -  «When  newspaper publi-
sher  Joseph   Pulitzer   died  in 1911, he  bequeathed $50,000
"for   the  erection   of   a fountain  like those in the Place de la
Concorde,   Paris,   France."  Pulitzer  probably got the idea to
locate   the   fountain   in Grand  Army  Plaza from   Karl Bitter,
the   Austrian   sculptor, who   proposed  a symmetrical plaza
for   this   area. After   a closed  design competition it  was not
surprising   that   Bitter   and   the  architect  Thomas Hastings
were   commissioned   to  create   the  fountain. To  make  the
plaza   symmetrical,   the   Sherman   monument  was  moved
16  feet west to  its present location. Bitter's bronze sculpture
represents Pomona, the Roman goddess of abundance. Rams'
heads with  horns of   plenty flank the fountain,  again empha-
sizing  the theme of  wealth   and material comfort. During the
winter   holiday   season,   lighted  trees decorate the basin of
the  fountain, adding a  festive touch to the Park's entrance.»

- Central Park, "Still Hunt" -
Artist Edward Kemeys Location [TK] - "Still Hunt"
is a   bronze depiction of  a panther, crouching at
the   top of  a ledge  and   ready  to  pounce.  The
sculpture   is  easily   visible, but  only if you look
for it.  Integrated into its environment as  a hun-
ting animal might be, the sculpture is quite a bit
above eye level. On its perch, the animal's body
is  low,   with   ears perked,   and   eyes  intense.
