The fountain at the Vizcaya Metrorail station incorporates figures originally commissioned for Villa Vizcaya in 1915. The statues were cast from the mythical mermaids and mermen on the Great Stone Barge created by sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder and commissioned by James Deering. Using special molds, each replica was formed with a sand-based aggregate and then resculpted by artist Mark Jeffries to sharpen timeworn features. Alexander Stirling Calder was the father of Alexander “Sandy” Calder, known for inventing the mobile and as a pioneer of kinetic art.
