Boaz Vaadia’s Sculpture Unveiled in Sarasota

Developer Dr. Mark Kauffman, Alfstad & Contemporary and the city of Sarasota partnered to place a sculpture by internationally acclaimed artist Boaz Vaadia in the plaza of the Sabal Palm Bank building at the intersection of Ringling Boulevard and Golf Street. The statue, entitled Ba’al & Yizhaq, is the newest addition to the city’s public art program. On April 10, representatives from the organizations involved with the project held a dedication ceremony outside the building.

“It’s a very unique partnership,” said Sam Alfstad, gallery director and founder of Alfstad & Contemporary. “It’s the first time in the history of Sarasota that three entities have come together to a fund public art”.
