Grand Lecture Hall

Hear the riveting story behind the construction of Madison Square Garden II and the controversial 18-foot nude sculpture placed atop the building’s spire that was later sent to the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Hinman’s book delves into the fascinating private lives of architect Stanford White and sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, close friends and collaborators. Books will be available for purchase at this program.
