KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 07, 2017 -- The dynamic two-part work, “Dancers (Tango)” by Sculptor Ewerdt Hilgemann was recently installed at the Kansas City Art Institute entrance. “Dancers” was previously part of an installation on Park Avenue in New York City and has been generously loaned to the college by the artist. These 20-foot-high stainless steel and Corten steel columns each weigh a massive 1,675 pounds.

This project inaugurates the college’s plan to place large-scale works on campus, on a constantly-changing basis. The idea is to create a “Sculpture Walk” that will connect the public artwork already in place at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, through the campus, to the array of work in the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Garden at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Generous support for this installation was given by Marti and Tony Oppenheimer, Meg and Bill Zahner, Dick and Evelyn Belger, and Sean Kelley of A. Zahner Company.
“Dancers” was installed during the International Sculpture Conference, which was held in Kansas City October 26-29. This conference brought together hundreds of artists, educators, arts administrators, museum directors, collectors, patrons, students and sculpture enthusiasts from around the country. These visitors enjoyed a variety of programming on the KCAI campus, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and galleries throughout the city.
