"The Garment Worker"

"The Garment Worker (1984), is a life sized bronze sculpture by Judith Weller, depciting an immigrant man at a sewing machine. Weller came to the United States as an exchange student from Tel Aviv in 1957, and in 1978 submitted a 24-inch sculpture of her tailor father to the exhibition of the National Sculpture Society. Someone from the Ladies Garment Workers Union liked it so much they sponsored a larger version."
