One of the Marilyns went on exhibition with the municipal museum in the state of Victoria, Australia at the Bendigo Art Gallery in the spring of 2016. This sculpture debuted along Chicago’s Michigan Avenue, and then gathered crowds in Palm Springs, California. Among these is the twenty-six foot tall Forever Marilyn with her skirt blowing upwards, defying the stainless steel and aluminum materials. In recent years, Seward Johnson’s monumental scale sculptures have captured the attention of the international media and a global audience. Additional castings of this work are now installed in Chesterfield, Missouri, and the city Viterbo, Italy. This work was profiled in LIFE magazine, Time Magazine and has become a “must see” destination in the nation’s capital. For many years at the National Park’s Hains Point in Washington, D.C., the piece is currently sited along the Potomac River at National Harbor. Johnson is often recognized for his most dramatic work The Awakening, a giant aluminum sculpture, which sprawls in breadth, across an expanse of seventy feet. To date these twenty to thirty foot tall presences have been on view, or been purchased for permanent display, at the City of Palm Springs, Sarasota Florida’s Season of Sculpture, the Port of San Diego, Rome’s International Sculpture Biennale, the Museum of Caen in Normandy, France, Australia’s Bendigo Art Gallery, and numerous cities in the US and abroad. Concurrent to this third body of work, Johnson has begun to enlarge a select few sculptures into monumental scale for placement in the public domain. Seward Johnson’s most recent series, Icons Revisited, asks provocative questions concerning our society’s embrace of particular visual icons, and their impact and shift of message over time. The show is continuing to tour museums throughout the U.S. This body of work, consisting of elaborate tableaux that allow viewers to walk into the scenes of familiar Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, went on to New York’s Nassau County Museum, Jacksonville Florida’s Cummer Museum of Art, and the Museum of Art & History at the Custom House in Key West.

introduced Johnson’s Impressionist-inspired series entitled Beyond the Frame with a spectacular solo museum exhibition. The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Johnson’s desire to highlight the mundane in his Celebrating the Familiar sculpture series has brought a unique voice to the world of art in public spaces. Seward Johnson initially became widely known for his sculptures depicting people engaged in every day activities. Since then, more than 450 of Johnson’s life-size cast bronze figures have been featured in private collections and museums in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, as well as prominent places in the public realm such as Times Square and Rockefeller Center in New York City, Pacific Place of Hong Kong, Les Halles in Paris, and Via Condotti in Rome. Following an early career as a painter, Seward Johnson turned his talents to the medium of sculpture.
