THE STUART COLLECTION AT UCSD
A Sculpture Garden for All Reasons and Seasons
April 25–June 6, 1998
This exhibition focused on the origins of the Stuart Collection at the University of California, San Diego, featuring original proposal material from the 14 artists whose works are installed around the university, and one artist (Edward Ruscha), whose work has not yet been realized. Working pencil and ink drawings, maquettes, watercolors, blueprints, photographs, and correspondence with the collection’s director, Mary Beebe, were displayed. Sculptors represented in the exhibition were: Terry Allen, Michael Asher, Jackie Ferrar, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Richard Fleischner, Jenny Holzer, Robert Irwin, Elizabeth Murray, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik, Niki de Saint Phalle, Alexis Smith, and William Wegman. Proposals for the newest work, a fountain by Kiki Smith, were also exhibited, as was a proposal from Edward Ruscha for a tower at the east end of the campus.
