Sculptor wins award
LEWISBURG, PA. — A purchase award was given to J. Peter Schuerholz of Tappan for his marble, "The Prophet," by Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pa. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman H. Schuerholz of 54 California Ave., Middletown, the artist was born in Middletown in 1936.
He is currently teaching wood-working to brain-injured and emotionally disturbed children in Rockland County public school system through BOCES. He reports that the children respond readily to lessons in sculpture.
A 1957 graduate of Bucknell, Schuerholz studied at the Art Students League under such artists as George Grosz, Edwin Dickinson, and Jose de Creeft.
He taught woodworking at St. Bernard's School in New York City from 1962 through 1967.
Schuerholz carves directly in stone. He has exhibited in Gallery 90 on Madison Avenue, New York City and is also represented in private collections.
