Credit Line:
Gift of Rosalie M. Heiser and John Jay Heiser
Object Number:
1910.24
Marks:
painted: at bottom right of scene: "LANDING OF GEN-LAFAYETTE/at Castle Garden New York/16th August 1824"
Gallery Label:
This 22-gallon punch bowl was once believed to have held libations served to the Marquis de Lafayette and other guests at the banquet given in his honor at Castle Garden during his 1824-1825 tour of the United States. The painted scene is based on an engraving published after Lafayette's arrival, however, and depicts architectural features not added to the entertainment hall until years later. Owned by the Heiser family, proprietors of Castle Garden between 1843 and 1852, the bowl may have been used to promote the establishment.

Artist's statement: "The environment in which terrorism thrives is oppression and the breeding ground for extremism is poverty, desperation and hopelessness. The imagery of women anonymously shrouded combined with the unforgettable Manhattan skyline, transposed onto porcelain bowling pins simultaneously depicts extreme vulnerability and strength. The precarious balance of the pins fired and frozen in time, provide a window into a poignant horrific moment in history..."
