Like icing on a cake, art was installed last month on the west exterior of the Hub as the final piece of the historic building's 2018 renovation. The colorful two-part steel sculpture, "Coalesce," was created by Iowa City artist and University of Iowa professor Susan Chrysler White.
University Museums' Art on Campus collection now includes six of Chrysler White's works. The other five are:
- "Exquisite Garden," 2012 painting, office of the vice president for research, Beardshear Hall
- "Rain Dance," 2012 painting, office of the vice president for research, Beardshear Hall
- "Zoopsia," 2013 sculpture, west entrance, Morrill Hall
- "Both Sides Now," 2017 mural, Windows dining center, Friley Hall
- "Our House is a Very, Very, Very Fine House," 2017 mural, Windows dining center, Friley Hall
Chrysler White will be featured in a solo exhibition at the Christian Petersen Art Museum this fall.
