Calder Sculpture Comes to UMass Boston Courtesy of Fleet Bank

A 300 pound mobile, 14-feet wide by 9- feet high, is the newest addition to the "Arts on the Point" collection. Created by noted sculptor Alexander Caldwell, the mobile has been loaned to the University by Fleet Bank. It was installed on Friday, April 23, and is on view near the reference desk of Healey Library, on the fourth floor. Considered one of Calder's finest examples of monumental mobiles, this sculpture is the only one of its kind on display and accessible for public viewing in New England. Originally purchased by Connecticut Bank and Trust (CBT) in the 1960s, Calder's artwork hung at One Constitution Plaza in Hartford for over 30 years. It became part of Fleet Bank's permanent collection in the early 1990s when CBT was acquired by Fleet.
