The Inside Scoop : Paul Manship's Story

Who was Paul Manship? What brought him to Cape Ann? What did he create here? Many Cape Ann locals are surprised to learn that the artist who modeled one of the most recognizable and photographed sculptures in the world — New York City’s Prometheus Fountain at Rockefeller Center — was sculpted by an artist whose summer residence and work studio is in Gloucester, MA. The property was saved by the Manship Artists Residency + Studios three years ago. Join Paul Manship’s grandson Erik Natti, Manship’s neighbor and local house historian Prudence Fish, and Manship Artists founder and American sculpture specialist Rebecca Reynolds for a revealing conversation about the man behind this local treasure with national significance.
