Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)
Outdoor Sculpture on U of M Campus
An Integral Part of Campus Life
The University of Michigan has a distinguished collection of outdoor sculpture consisting of over 50 major pieces. The collection began in the earliest days of the campus, but the majority of the works were acquired since the late 1960’s.
During his 37-year tenure as University Planner, Fred Mayer worked directly with many of the artists on the development and siting of their works. In this presentation Mr. Mayer will trace the history of the collection and share anecdotes and personal experiences working with the artists. He will also discuss the relationship between the individual pieces and the broader area of campus planning.
