CBS NEWS: Rodeo Drive hosts street art exhibition "Monuments of Stillness" with 10 life-size sculptures

A huge sculpture of a diver, in full diving pose, is one of 10 sculptures on display as part of the "Monuments of Stillness" exhibition on Rodeo Drive.

The patinated bronze-and-gold-leaf figure, called the Golden Mean, was inspired by American Olympic diver Greg Louganis.

Sculptor Carole A. Feuerman said the Golden Mean was at the Olympics, representing the United States. "I was inspired by Greg Louganis … when I saw him in that beautiful dive," she said. The Golden Mean represents the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability, ambition and control.
