Host Alison Davis goes on a tour of art at the University of Illinois with adjunct assistant art history professor Muriel Scheinman. Scheinman, author of “A Guide to Art at the University of Illinois,” takes Davis to see some of the notable sculptures and reliefs on campus. The tour includes Lorado Taft sculptures on the east side of the library, Lincoln Hall terra cotta reliefs portraying the life of Abraham Lincoln, Tom Otterness bronze sculptures in the Gelvin Garden at the Krannert Art Museum, and Christiane Martens sculptures at the Beckman Institute.
“Like many people, I went to school at the U of I, and walked right by many of these sculptures without ever knowing their history,” said Davis.
