Archipenko sculptures & University Walkway

Kansas City, Missouri 64105, United States

Created By: University of Missouri - Kansas City

Information

These two sculptures located at the entrance to our University Walkway were a gift from cubist sculptor Alexander Archipenko, an artist in residence at the university from 1949 to 1950. The Archipenko sculptures are actually identical but turned in such a way that they appear different as the light passes through them each day. Walk through them, and you’ll be on the University Walkway, leading down to our Atterbury Student Success Center. There's always something happening on the walkway, from pre-game tailgates to food trucks, rock-climbing walls and free t-shirts! It’s not uncommon to walk out of class and smell barbecue or hear music bumping over here. If you ever want something to do, just stop by the University Walkway!
