Serra was present to oversee the July installation of the blocks by a 450-ton crane. Though identical, the weatherproof blocks were strategically placed in relationship to each other and each rests on a different-sized side. It collects the building. The redesigned courtyard, funded through a gift from Colby Trustee Paul Schupf, will be dedicated on October 21, during Colby's Inauguration Weekend for new president William D. Adams. It includes 70 major paintings and sculptures that show the radical transformations of American art in the 20th century as seen in works by Georgia O'Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, Stuart Davis, Franz Kline and others.
Admission is free, and the museum is accessible to persons with disabilities.
