Title of Piece: Peregrine Section
Artist: Richard Hunt
Acquired: 1975
Material(s): Cor-Ten Steel
Category: Public Art
Location: Courtyard, north side of Bentley Library
Comments: Gift of Hobart Taylor, Jr., in memory of his father, Hobart Taylor, Sr. Commissioned for this site, the piece was made to relate directly to its companion piece, Historical Circle. Taylor, Jr., a UM alumnus, wished to create a memorial to his father, who was a leader in the Civil Rights movement in Texas, and chose to do so with a gift to the Bentley Library. It was the artist, Hunt, who decided to create two pieces for the courtyard which would complement each other.
