Kindred Previous Next
Title of Piece: Kindred
Artist: Bill Barrett ('60mfa)
Acquired: 2002
Material(s): Bronze
Category: Public Art
Location: Courtyard, west side of School of Social Work
Comments: Commissioned by the School of Social Work, and made possible by the generosity of the artist and the estate of Clinton E. and Dorothy Purdy. Barrett, a University of Michigan alumnus, says "his work communicates his internal feelings, rather than commenting on social issues," because "art is communication between people." Barrett is also the sculptor of the Tooth Fairy, also on Central Campus, and both Painted Steel and Untitled #29 on North Campus.
