Bequest of McKay, Gordon

The sculpture was originally commissioned by Gordon McKay. Through a bequest, the sculpture came into the estate of Mrs. Stanley McCormick. Mrs. McCormick stored the sculpture during her lifetime and bequeathed it to Radcliffe College. The college declined the bequest and the sculpture was included in a larger bequest to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.). The sculpture was acquired from M.I.T. by the M.I.T. Endicott House and given as a gift to Mr. James R. Killian, Jr. In 1982, Mr. and Mrs. Killian gave the sculpture to the Sharon Arts Center.
