Join acclaimed sculptor and former UChicago faculty member Virginio Ferrari for the official release of Virginio Ferrari: Full Circle, 1957–2017, a limited-edition art book on Ferrari’s life’s work. Virginio Ferrari covers all of his major artworks from the last 60 years, including Dialogo (1971), perhaps his most well-known sculpture on UChicago’s Hyde Park campus. Moderating the discussion with Ferrari will be Laura Steward, Curator of Public Art at the University of Chicago, and Virginio’s son, Marco, a practicing artist who also served as editor of the book.
This special presentation is a collaboration between Humanities Day, Seminary Co-op Bookstores, the Smart Museum, UChicago Urban, and UChicago Arts, and is part of the 2017-18 Urban Readers Series.
