Davidson College gallery director Brad Thomas steadies Antony Gormley’s 2005 iron sculpture “You” as the newly acquired piece is installed Friday between E.H. Little Library and Chambers Hall. The college moved a William Tucker sculpture it already owns and installed another new work, by Joel Shapiro, as it builds a world-class contemporary sculpture collection. The William Tucker piece was a gift of the Class of 1993. The Shapiro was a gift of Katherine Belk-Cook and of the artist. The Gormley was a gift of outgoing President Bobby Vagt and wife Ruth Anne Vagt, in honor of their daughters, Ashley ‘94 and Lindsey ‘01. (Photo by David Boraks)
