Larger
Associated Project:
"The
Acrobats" was built in conjunction with the Regent's
Dining Hall (now Redeker Center). Along with the sculpture,
student artists contributed to panels of interior artwork.
Description:
Built of fiberglass, this sixteen-foot sculpture consists
of three acrobats balanced on one another.
Critical
Reaction:
"The
Acrobats" received less negative criticism than other
sculptures on campus, in part because students were involved
in the process. At President Maucker's suggestion, a group
of students went to Whiting's studio to assist the sculptor.
