(The Giraffe) The giraffe has fascinated human imagination since antiquity — the Romans called it camelopardalis, believing it a hybrid of camel and leopard, and it was sent as a diplomatic marvel between African kingdoms and Chinese emperors. The pair of sculptures here, with their elongated necks curving toward each other in a gentle arc, distill the giraffe's essential character: that extraordinary vertical reach, and the quiet grace with which such an unlikely form moves through the world.
