Statue of Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein is an outdoor bronze sculpture of Gertrude Stein, located in Bryant Park in Manhattan in New York City. The casting was installed in 1992 and is based on a model created by Jo Davidson in Paris in 1923. Its location near the New York Public Library Main Branch commemorates Stein's "significant literary contributions".
Sculptor Jo Davidson, a friend of Stein from her Paris years, wrote, "She somehow symbolized wisdom", and he depicted her as "a sort of modern Buddha."
