It is the work of Spanish-born sculptor Jose de Creeft (1900-1982). This sculpture was commissioned by George Delacorte for his wife and the enjoyment of the children of New York City I recommend spending time to enjoy Lewis Caroll's whimsical characters White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse, and the Cheshire Cat. Let me know if this answers your question.
For the enjoyment of the children of NYC The Alice in Wonderland statue is one of my earliest memories as a Native !New Yorker. It holds a very special place in my heart, truly.
It is a piece of art commissioned for the public space. It is large and bronze. There are several quotes in encircling t g e sculpture. Just walk around it. Also in the same area is a statue for Hans Christian Anderson. (Ducklings....) story time is held there on summer weekend mornings.
For a reason it's called ZOOLOGY
For art and enjoyment. Sort of has turned into a spot for tourists to take pictures with characters from the book though.
