In addition to the version of Manet’s Olympia (See: Grounds for Sculpture – Arriving at the visitor’s center) a number of statues based on Impressionist paintings were scattered around the landscape. These are just a few of them.

It’s actually called: “Has Anyone Seen Larry? (The Three Fates)”, but it reminds me more of Macbeth’s three witches than it does of the Morai of ancient Greek religion and mythology, often known in English as the Fates. Three sisters: Clotho (the spinner), Lachesis (the allotter) and Atropos (the unturnable, a metaphor for death), they were the personifications of destiny.
Of course, the witches in Macbeth are nameless, and do bear a striking resemblance to the three Fates of classical mythology.
The skulls in the cauldron were rather gruesome.

Statue commemorating the destruction of the World Trade Center. It’s called ‘The survivor”. Following the tragedy of 9/11, the sculpture ‘Double Check‘ was found in the wreckage, and became a makeshift memorial, which inspired this sculpture.

Life sized Marylin statue in the visitor’s center. There’s a much larger one (26ft) one in the grounds, but we didn’t come across it.
