Since their completion in 1994, the five sculptures comprising the Egghead Series on the UC Davis campus have elicited joy, protest, engagement and conversation. They’re also a fascinating entry point into the broader story of art in California and at UC Davis.

Now extended through June 30! Acclaimed artist and sculptor Deborah Butterfield (’71, M.F.A. ’73) studied with Robert Arneson. See several of his works in the “Kindred Spirits” gallery adjacent to her career-spanning exhibition, and spot the special cameo in the Poetry Lounge. 

Robert Arneson Park is a 5-acre park located in northeast Davis near the corner of Wright Boulevard and Moore Boulevard.

At the beginning of the Year of the Eggheads, MFA student Trevor Bashaw read aloud his commemorative poem called "egghead ballad." You too can enjoy this poem whenever you want. (See link below.)

Make a pilgrimage to the famous TB9 building on campus. So many famous artists passed through these hallowed doors. It’s even on the National Register of Historic Places.

In addition to the Eggheads, Robert Arneson has an array of other art and books on display throughout the library. He was incredibly prolific. See for yourself.

Drop by! First, visit Bookhead outside. It was the first Egghead installed back in October 1991.
