Elbert Weinberg

At the young age of 23, he was awarded the prestigious Prix de Rome, which allowed him to perform further art study in Italy.

Among his most acclaimed works are the Joie de Danse in the Portman San Francisco hotel and the 1980 Holocaust Memorial at Freedom Plaza in Wilmington, Delaware.

[2] His work Procession was displayed at the Jewish Museum of New York, Jacob Wrestling with the Angel was shown at Brandeis University, the Procession 2 at Beth El Temple in West Hartford, and Justice at the Boston University School of Law.

[1] Despite being widely recognized as a talented sculptor, Elbert Weinberg never attained financial success during his lifetime, in part because he did not prefer the abstract form of sculpture that sold more readily during this period.

[3] He died of myelofibrosis[1] and was survived by his daughter Julia and mother Rose Apter Weinberg.
