  4. Michael Asher: Untitled - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

  5. John Baldessari: Read Write Think Dream - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    John Baldessari decided first to transform the main doors of UCSD’s iconic Geisel Library and then to incorporate the entire lobby space, choosing students as his subject. The existing clear glass of the doors was replaced with glass in primary colors, perhaps suggesting primary sources of...

  6. Jenny Holzer: Green Table - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    In 1992, for the Stuart Collection, Jenny Holzer created "Green Table," a large granite picnic or refectory table and benches inscribed with texts.

  7. Elizabeth Murray: Red Shoe - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    "Red Shoe" has brought to life a formerly forgotten corner of campus. It is an alluring place for children to climb, its smooth exterior giving way to a roughly hull-like interior, hinting at the enclosure of a nest or fort. Narratives come to mind as fantasy evokes the resonance of childhood...

  8. Kiki Smith: Standing - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    The female figure atop "Standing" calls forth thoughts of human strength and frailty, and both the power and the limits of medicine. Serene and ageless, she stands in a Madonna-like pose that is both vulnerable and generous. Ribbons of water - the source of life - flow from her hands into the...

  9. Do Ho Suh: Fallen Star - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    Do Ho Suh’s work explores the notions of home, cultural displacement, one’s perception of space and how one builds a memory of it. What is home, after all? A place? An idea? A sentiment? A memory? A small cottage has been picked up, as if by some mysterious force, and “landed” atop Jacobs Hall at...

  10. Jackie Ferrara: Terrace - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    Jackie Ferrara designed a series of three distinct spaces at UCSD's Cellular and Molecular Medicine Facility. Each area is paved with a similar linear pattern of green, red, and black slate and surrounded by compacted gravel. Each has a unique character, but the terraces flow into one another...

  11. Mark Bradford: What Hath God Wrought - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    A 199-foot tall metal flag-pole-like sculpture is mounted with a flashing light which playfully spells out “What Hath God Wrought” in Morse Code.

  12. Bruce Nauman: Vices and Virtues - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    Bruce Nauman's "Vices and Virtues" for the Stuart Collection at UC San Diego consists of seven pairs of words superimposed in blinking neon, which run like a frieze around the top of the Charles Lee Powell Structural Systems Laboratory. Seven vices alternate with seven virtues: FAITH/LUST,...

  13. Terry Allen: Trees - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

  14. Ian Hamilton Finlay: UNDA - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    Finlay created a one-word poem installed at one edge of the north playing field at UC San Diego.

  15. Alexis Smith: Snake Path - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    Snake Path consists of a winding 560-foot-long, 10-foot-wide footpath in the form of a serpent, whose individual scales are hexagonal pieces of colored slate, and whose head is inlaid in the approach to UC San Diego's Geisel Library. The tail wraps around an existing concrete pathway as a snake...

  16. Barbara Kruger: Another - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    "Another" is in the vast atrium of the UC San Diego Price Center East. The large interior wall bears a massive double image of clocks which is punctuated by terrazzo-like areas that contain phrases. Two LED displays show live current news, adding another level of interest, as well as meaning, and...

  17. William Wegman: La Jolla Vista View - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    For the Stuart Collection at UC San Diego, William Wegman created his first major outdoor permanent sculpture: he installed a scenic - or nonscenic - overlook at one edge of the campus, near the location of the university's theater and dance complex. The site commands a view not of the Pacific...

  18. Tim Hawkinson: Bear - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    A bear constructed of boulders. Eight granite stones, together they make a bear 23.5 feet high with a total weight of 180 tons. Bear pushes the bounds of credibility. Questions arise. Where did they find these rocks? How did they get them here? Are they real? How are they held together? On one...

  19. Robert Irwin: Two Running Violet V Forms - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    For the Stuart Collection, "Two Running Violet V Forms," Robert Irwin was drawn to the eucalyptus groves so characteristic of the UC San Diego campus.

  22. Niki de Saint Phalle: Sun God - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) is best known for her oversized figures that embrace contradictory qualities such as good and evil, modern and primitive, sacred and profane, play and terror. De Saint Phalle's "Sun God" was the first work commissioned by the Stuart Collection and was her first...

  23. John Luther Adams: Wind Garden - Stuart Collection at UC San Diego

    For the Stuart Collection at the UC San Diego, Adams created a musical composition with and within the signature landscape of the campus: the eucalyptus grove. There are no pre-recorded elements, everything that occurs in "The Wind Garden" is driven by the wind and the light conditions on the…
