Refreshments will follow the talk, which is free and open to the public.
The Duncan鈥檚 have spent decades building an internationally recognized contemporary art collection, from which they selected more than 20 sculptures to be on display as the inaugural exhibit in the main gallery of the college鈥檚 new art center.
Pieces include works by George Segal, Christo, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Nick Cave, Lesley Dill, Nam June Paik, James Surls and more than a dozen other renowned artists. The exhibit is available for viewing in the Jackson Dinsdale Art Center during regular gallery hours through the academic semester, which ends mid-December.
The JDAC is located at 700 E. 12th Street, and is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
