Richard Hunt (1935 - 2023)
To celebrate the life and legacy of groundbreaking sculptor Richard Hunt, members of Morris Library's staff gathered around Running Hybrids to pose for a photograph. We are proud to provide homes to two of Hunt's works, Running Hybrids in the library's first floor rotunda and Starwalk in the Sharp Museum's Sculpture Garden. Hunt received an honorary degree from SIU in 2022.
