University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, University of California)

The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) at the University of California will conserve the Hawk for Peach (1968), a signature large-scale stabile by celebrated America artist Alexander Calder, and will re-install it on a new site adjacent to BAMPFA's new building in Berkeley. The stabile was commissioned by BAMPFA in 1968 and donated by Calder in memory of his brother-in-law Kenneth Auraed Hayes, a member of the University of California, Berkeley Class of 1916. The treatment protocol, following the standards of the Calder Foundation, will involve hand stripping to bare metal, treatment of corrosion, application of an epoxy primer, and application of a top coat.
