About Track 9: Love and Delight

From the moment Raymond and Patsy Nasher began collecting sculpture in the late 1960s, they enjoyed living with their art and sharing it with family and friends at their home and with the public at NorthPark Center, which they built in 1965, two years before they acquired the founding work of their sculpture collection, Jean (Hans) Arp’s Torso with Buds. This hospitable vision is one of the most important legacies of the Nasher Sculpture Center’s founders.
