South Florida Lawyer Donates Sculpture -- posted by Florida Fine Art Blog


Pictured above is Frederick Goldstein, an accomplished attorney and sculptor living in South Florida, standing in front of a large sculpture he donated to the Fort Lauderdale office of Florida's Department of Children and Families.  The six-foot-tall Parents and Child sculpture is made of steel and coated with copper, and depicts a child nestled between two adults as they hold hands.  Fred has a few large public sculptures located around South Florida.  A wonderful large piece of his stands down by the water in front of the Performing Arts Center in Fort Lauderdale and another large piece honoring our soldiers stands in front of Dania City Hall.  Fred has a brother Steven, who is a columnist for the Sun Sentinel.  Dr. Steven Goldstein also hosts a current events show on TV in South Florida.  Both brothers are strong supporters of the arts, always volunteering time and talent when asked.  Fred was included in the first artist auction I helped organize to benefit the Bonnet House in Fort Lauderdale years ago, and his brother Steven helped promote the benefit.  It is great that local artists like Fred have the opportunity to show their work in public places.
