Tom Otterness charms with The Real World. It’s public art in the Rockefeller Park Playground of lower Manhattan. His whimsical miniature figures tell funny stories. But this brand of silly digs deep. His work surprises. That’s because Otterness explores human contradiction. He crafts small animals and figures in bronze. They cheer us. But there’s an undeniable current lurking too. Behind those simple smiles there’s conflict. Mini characters play a wicked game. That’s where The Real World meets the playground.
