(AP) — Several small sculptures of young boys, covered in molasses, with fruit baskets holding unrefined sugar accompany “A Subtlety or the Marvelous Sugar Baby,” by artist Kara Walker, on display inside the former Domino Sugar Refinery, located in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, Sat., May 17, 2014.
Four tons of sugar were used to create the 35-foot-high sphinx-like sculpture.
The head of the large sculpture wears a kerchief and slightly exaggerated African features. Her breasts are exposed and her fists are thrust out, described by Walker as both submissive and domineering. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)
