New Acquisitions Join Arts on the Point

Two new additions to "Arts on the Point" have been installed on campus in recent weeks. Four oil paintings by artist Anthony Apesos, chair of the fine arts department at the Art Institute of Boston, have been hung in McCormack Hall's second floor hallway. Viewed from left to right, the paintings are titled "The Punishment," "The Unfamiliar Shore," "Her Final Breath Lingers," and "The Thin Leaves Rattle." Each represents an episode from Virgil's The Aenead. A reception for Anthony Apesos will be held in McCormack Hall, second floor, on March 5.

Three bronzes by British sculptor William Tucker have been installed on the plaza level next to the Clark Athletic Center. The two pieces displayed in front are part of a series of five bronzes entitled "The Gods" which were formerly on display at the Tate Gallery in London, England. Two more of these pieces are on their way here. A re-casting of the fifth piece in the series is under consideration. The torso at the rear is a more recent work, formerly on display at the Newberger Museum of the State University of New York at Purchase.
