A Central Park Wedding By The Alice in Wonderland Statues

Located just north of the Conservation Water   at East 74th Street, Alice in Wonderland stands eleven feet tall in bronze. The sculpture was constructed in

1959 by  José de Creeft . Atypical of most sculptures, children are invited to climb, touch and crawl all over Alice and her friends. In fact, through the decades thousands of hands and feet have literally polished parts of the statue’s surface smooth. The\centerpiece of the work is Alice, who's face is Creeft’s daughter. She  is pictured sitting on a giant mushroom reaching toward a pocket watch held by the White Rabbit. Peering over her shoulder is the Cheshire Cat, surrounded by the Dormouse, Alice's cat Dinah, and the Mad Hatter -- a caricature of George Delacorte.
