DESCRIPTION:\nabout the book\nAudrey Munson’s radiant rise begins with New York’s great
self-glorification at the 1909 Hudson-Fulton Celebration. Centerpiece for
its grand banquet: a marble sculpture of the three graces. Eighteen-year-ol
d Audrey modeled for all three. Soon she is posing for statues before the P
laza Hotel and atop the Municipal Building, among others, and she is the fi
rst woman to appear naked in a movie. But times and tastes change-and then
come the horrors of the Great War, when artists no longer sculpt lofty them
es such as “virtue” and “beauty.” Her luminescent career eventually darkens
into a trail of loss and despair. Then, in 1990, a young artist gradually
recognizes the same face on statues throughout the city, inspiring an intri
cate and often frustrating search that will lead two remarkable women to to
uch hands across generations.\nabout the author\nStephen Wolf was born in C
hicago and moved to New York’s Lower East Side in 1976. He is the editor of
I Speak of the City: Poems of New York, with his city features appearing i
n The Villager and The New York Times, and short stories in commercial and
literary magazines. Despite seeing statues of her for years across Manhatta
n, Stephen had never heard of Audrey Munson until researching his acclaimed
Central Park Love Song: Wandering Beneath the Heaventrees. A former bike m
essenger, truck driver, gymnastics coach, and construction worker with a Ph
D in American literature from the University of Illinois, he teaches colleg
e literature, writing, and New York studies.\n This event was imported from
