George Segal (left) and Donald Lokuta (in reflection) often stopped at diners in the midst of their photographic journeys across New York and New Jersey, and the collection is ripe with similar scenes. Here, they visited the Golden Bell Diner in Freehold, N.J., in 1989. Photo © Donald Lokuta/Licensed by VAGA, New York, N.Y. |

George Segal (right) worked here to cast Martin Friedman, then director of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, for "Depression Bread Line (1991)," part of the Franklin D. Memorial in Washington, D.C. Other plaster figures in the photo are, from left: photographer Donald Lokuta; Daniel Burger of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and George Segal. The fifth figure in the sculpture missing from photo is Segal's wife, Helen Segal, who once remarked that the people chosen for this sculpture are the people George Segal wanted "to spend eternity with."

This photograph by George Segal, titled "Robot Fortune Teller, Keansburg, New Jersey, 1991," was among 26 prints in "Sequence: New York/New Jersey 1990-1993," an exhibition put on by the Howard Greenburg Gallery in 1994. Scenes from amusement parks, both active and defunct, were a common theme in Segal's photography. © George and Helen Segal Foundation/Licensed by VAGA, New York, N.Y. |

This gouache by George Segal is dated 1980 and depicts an early version or concept for the sculpture "Rush Hour." The plaster version was altered and finished in 1983, and the five bronzes were cast in bronze in the 1980s and 1990s. Segal, who lived in New Jersey for most of his adult life, uses a box from a state newspaper, The Times of Trenton, in the painting. © George and Helen Segal Foundation/Licensed by VAGA, New York, N.Y. |

"Circus Acrobats," a 1981 plaster sculpture by George Segal, was donated by the Segal Foundation to the Princeton University Art Museum and installed this summer above the museum's entrance. The work features two acrobats swooping gracefully from the ceiling and joins other reliefs and sculptures currently on view at the museum.
