A rare monumental sculpture in aluminum, TRITONS AND NYMPH, created c. 1982 by Cuban Contemporary sculptor Manuel Carbonell (1918-2011), depicting two mythical aquatic horses and a fluid feminine form, a perfect blending of the ancient and Modernist, brought to life by a master sculptor. The sculpture rises from a solid circular base. It was exhibited publicly for the first time in December 2014 at the Miami River Art Fair, Art Basel, in an exhibition sponsored by the James L.
