The American (Marble Branco Vigaria)
2026
This marble sculpture carved from Branco Vigaria stone presents a monumental figural work exploring American identity and cultural mythology. The stark white marble emphasizes the classical tradition of portraiture while the title invokes contemporary political discourse. Longo's use of the idealized material traditions of Western sculpture creates a tension between historical monumentality and modern subject matter. The work engages with how power is visualized and commemorated in public space.
