Winston-Salem:
Kneeling Aphrodite / Kneeling Venus
Artist: Vuk Vuchinich


This water feature is from around 1930 and is located at Reynolda House in Winston-Salem. You'll see the massive house in the background. Interestingly, the artist made another version of this sculpture, without the fountain, for Casa Casuarina, which was once the home of fashion designer Gianni Versace. You'll find a photograph, taken by noted photographer De Witt Ward, of this Winston-Salem water feature in the Archives and Special Collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
