Book Launch: Evelyn Beatrice Longman, Monument Sculptor
This special event, co-sponsored by the National Sculpture Society and the Victorian Society, celebrated the release of Evelyn Beatrice Longman, The Woman Who Sculpted Golden Boy, Thomas Edison, and Other Monuments by author Pat Hoerth Batchelder. Held at the Cast Hall Gallery on the ground floor of the New York Academy of Art in Tribeca, the launch offered a compelling exploration of Longman’s remarkable career and legacy as a pioneering American sculptor.

The program, on Saturday, June 7, 2025, was moderated by Eve Kahn—noted journalist, independent scholar, and contributor to The New York Times—and featured insights from Dana Pilson, Curatorial Researcher and Collections Coordinator at Chesterwood, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
