A large state of Ohio quarter made of stainless steel and a sea creature made of copper are two of the 10 new sculptures temporarily installed on Main and Health Science Campuses this spring.
The sculptures are a part of the President’s Commission on Campus Design and Environment, which sponsors the annual outdoor sculpture exhibition. The works were selected through a group of submissions to the Midwest Sculpture Initiative, which hosts numerous art and sculpture shows in Ohio and Michigan.
Located near Nitschke Hall, “Watching the Yellow Clock” by Lawson King is one of 10 sculptures installed on Main and Health Science Campuses last spring as part of the President’s Commission on Campus Design and Environment.
The new sculptures will be on exhibit until next spring, then removed to make room for new artwork installations.
An additional 25 sculptures between the two campuses, as well as the Toledo Museum of Art Campus, will continue to be part of the permanent collection.
The new sculptures on campus and their locations are:
• “Time” by Michael Magnotta — east of Health and Human Services Building;
• “Watching the Yellow Clock” by Lawson King — Nitschke Hall;
• “Celestial Navigator” by Ray Katz — west of Health and Human Services Building;
• “Chimes” by Richard Morgan — Snyder Memorial;
• “Anemone” by Judith Greavu — south of Memorial Field House;
• “Unwavering Discipline” by Gregory Mendez — west end of Centennial Mall;
• “Parade” by Todd Kime — between Libbey Hall and University Hall;
• “Blue Migration” by Toni Lucadello — Centennial Mall;
• “Big Money” by James Havens — between Health and Human Services Building and Stranahan Hall; and
• “Love” by Michael Magnotta — UTMC Medical Pavilion.
“Big Money” by James Havens is located between Health and Human Services Building and Stranahan Hall.
“The Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition enriches our campus every year with new pieces of art to enjoy and contemplate,” said Jonathan Bossenbroek, chair of the commission. “I’m especially excited to have people walk the newly resurfaced Centennial Mall and enjoy some of our permanent and temporary collection.”
Since the exhibition began 17 years ago, more than 160 sculptures have rotated through the display on UToledo campuses, and permanent works have become part of the University’s collection, courtesy of benefactors, colleges and departments.
