The Martin H. Bush
Outdoor Sculpture Collection, named for the founding director of the Ulrich
Museum of Art, is installed across the 330-acre campus of Wichita State
University. The collection, which was begun in 1972 and now consists of
more than 70 pieces, offers a cross-section of modern and postmodern sculpture,
including several site-specific works. Internationally acclaimed artists
such as Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, Louise Nevelson, George Rickey, Claes
Oldenburg and Scott Burton are represented on the WSU campus. The most
visible and widely known public work remains Joan Miró's Personnages
Oiseaux, a mosaic commissioned by the university in 1979. Composed of
approximately one million pieces of Venetian glass and marble, the mosaic
depicts Miró's characteristic surrealist imagery and serves as
a signature work for the museum. Additionally, WSU possesses three site-specific
works by Jesús Moroles: Granite Landscape, Fountain Wall, and Granite
Weaving.
