The collection features striking examples of postwar and contemporary sculpture from influential artists such as Magdalena Abakanowicz and Ursula von Rydingsvard.

Meet at 10 a.m. on Sunday, 5 August in front of Bass Concert Hall near 23rd Street and Robert Dedman Drive (map) on The University of Texas at Austin campus.
