From 1934-1955 Christian Petersen was artist-in-residence at Iowa State and sculpted public and studio works of art for the College and its departments.  Working with faculty, staff and students he conceived, sculpted and installed iconic works of art that expressed Iowa State’s land grant mission. While many of Petersen’s sculptures are place specific around campus, this exhibition will rely on sketches, models, and concept drawings from the vast collections housed at the University Museums to figuratively bring these works of art into the Campbell Gallery at the Christian Petersen Art Museum.
