It's a Small World, 1987

Sheila Levrant de Bretteville
"Path of Stars" (detail), 1995. Granite and colored concrete, (21 stars) each 24 x 24 x 6 in.
http://www.sculpture.org/documents/scmag98/raven/sm-raven.htm On a Sunday in October, Finkel and I visited Sheila Levrant de Bretteville in Connecticut to see "Path of Stars", her public artwork for the Ninth Square section of downtown New Haven. De Bretteville has placed 21 medallions of granite and colored concrete, 24 inches square by 6 inches deep, in the sidewalks at four entry points. The terra-cotta, black, gray, and cream-colored "stars" describe the achievements of individual citizens during three centuries.
We learn. Augusta Lewis Troup, a typesetter, journalist, and activist living in the late 19th century, advocated equal pay to women for equal work and organized the internationally recognized Women's Typographical Union No. 1. The first Chinese restaurant in the city was a second floor room above the Hofbrau Haus on Crown Street, opened by Lee Chong in 1920. The Far East offered economical meals at midday and dancing every night. Julia Di Lullo, longtime sales manager at Horowitz Brothers, was there for the dedication of stars in 1993, and she reflected that the mission of her job over 20 years mandated her desire to help people. In the days when stores stayed open late on Thursdays, Di Lullo commented, "I don't really like to work late but if you have to, you have to." Together, de Bretteville's handsome markers under foot become a living record of outstanding ordinary townspeople.
I walked along, "reading" this sidewalk piece for the first time shortly after the 1993 ceremony. "Path of Stars" is conceptually united with the inclusive, commonweal-based graphics that de Bretteville plastered on fences and walls in Los Angeles and published in magazines during the 1970s as well as the permanent public works she created there in the '80s. "Path of Stars" uses the Los Angeles model for the film-famous to speak of the diversity of New Haven then and now. "This project," she told a local reporter, "is not only about the kinds of people who were working and living here, but also about the range of people who will be here, as well as those who will come to look at the stars." by Arlene Raven

Title: Biddy Mason: Time & Place, 1990
Artist: Sheila Levrant de Bretteville
1, 2, 3
http://www.usc.edu/isd/archives/la/pubart/Downtown/Broadway/Biddy_Mason/
A memorial in downtown Los Angeles, situated between Broadway and Spring streets at 3rd street (Biddy Mason Park). It is dedicated to Biddy Mason, a Black midwife, who was a leading citizen of Los Angeles, and lived at 331 Spring Street from 1866-1891. The mural includes inscriptions, images of deeds and maps, and a photograph of Biddy Mason. This is a project of The Power of Place, a non-profit corporation dedicated to celebrating Los Angeles's multicultural history. Members include: Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, Donna Graves, Dolores Hayden, Susan King, and Betye Saar

Cipe Pineles (1908-1991) was an assistant to the 'legendary' Dr. M.F. Agha at Conde Nast in the 1930s, when there were few women in design. She helped promote modernist design and art during the US magazine renaissance. Pineles continued as art director for several magazines, including Glamour, Seventeen, Charm and Mademoiselle. Leaving magazine publishing in 1959, she became an independent design consultant and design teacher at Parsons School of Design in New York. She was the first woman member admitted to the New York Art Directors Club, and the first woman elected to their Hall of Fame. In addition to her activities, she was connected to design through her two husbands: William Golden, design director for CBS; and Will Burtin, exhibition designer and magazine art director. http://www.ncsu.edu/www/ncsu/design/sod5/research/publications/scotford/cp.html
