| Eldred came to Kansas City
in 1959 after studying architecture and engineering. A year later he became
chairman of the sculpture department at the Kansas City Art Institute, where
he taught for more than thirty years. He is known for his large metal installations
that use light to explore the simple, beautiful mechanics of the physical
world, such as the earth's daily spin on its own axis, and its yearly orbit
of the sun. The Museum's work references views of the Grand Canyon. |
