Stuart Collection
Map of Stuart Collection pieces on UCSD campus (hover over markers for details) |
The Stuart Collection is a collection of public art on the campus of the University of California, San Diego. Founded in 1981, the Stuart Collection's goal is to spread commissioned sculpture throughout the campus, including both traditional sculptures and integration with features of the campus such as landscaping and buildings. It is supported by the UCSD Department of Visual Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and many other organizations and individuals.
The collection was conceived by and named after its initial benefactor, James Stuart DeSilva.[1] Since its creation, it has been administered by Director Mary L. Beebe.[2] It contains eighteen works, with numerous others planned that have not or never will come to fruition.[3] The first work added to the collection was Niki de Saint Phalle's Sun God (statue), and the most recent addition is Do Ho Suh's Fallen Star.
