The first time UVA displayed an Alexander Calder “stabile,” in the 1950s, the work was met with questions and dark Cold War insinuations. Now, the university is exhibiting another Calder installation on its historic grounds, and the reception is entirely different.

  • Art on Grounds

    An excellent article that at once establishes the historical relevance of the "Tripes" installation on Grounds, but also emphasizes the importance of art in the academic life of The University of Virginia. Congratulations to The University and John Casteen for having the vision to support and promote Art in the life of the academy.
