The Stuart Collection of sculpture at the University of California, San Diego seeks to enrich the cultural, intellectual, and scholarly life of the UCSD campus and of the San Diego community by building and maintaining a unique collection of site specific works by leading artists of our time. It has been inventive in both its curatorial point of view and its working processes.

The collection results from an innovative partnership between the university and the non-profit Stuart Foundation. Under an agreement, forged in 1982, the entire 1,200 acre campus may be considered as sites for comissioned outdoor sculpture. It is further distinguished from a traditional sculpture garden by integration of some of the projects with university buildings.

The selection of artists for commissions is based on the advice of the Stuart Foundation Advisory Committee, which is composed of art professionals of international stature. The committee periodically invites artists to conceive and develop proposals with the assistance of the Stuart Collection staff.

The Stuart collection consists of fourteen works by the following internationally recognized artists: Terry Allen, Michael Asher, Jackie Ferrara, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Richard Fleischner, Jenny Holzer, Robert Irwin, Elizabeth Murray, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik, Niki de Saint Phalle, Alexis Smith, Kiki Smith and William Wegman.
