loomfield Hills philanthro-
pist A. Alfred Taubman,
president of the City of
Detroit Arts Commission, recently
donated a landmark sculpture to the
Detroit Institute of Arts.
Le Cheval Majeur (The Grand
Horse) by Raymond Duchamp-
Villon, will join nine other DIA works
in the Josephine F. Ford Sculpture
Garden at the College for Creative
Studies, located just east of the DIA
on John R street and Kirby. The sculp-
ture garden is a joint project of the
DIA and CCS, and was dedicated in
2005.
"We are absolutely thrilled to
receive this generous gift from Mr.
Taubman," said Graham W.J. Beal,
DIA director. "Throughout the years,
Alfred has been one of our most
dedicated supporters. He, along with
Richard Manoogian and the late
Josephine F. Ford, contributed lead
gifts for both our 'New Day at Your
DIA capital campaign and our cur-
rent 'Great Art, New Start' campaign.
Alfred has once again demonstrated
his deep commitment to the museum
and the community by giving us this
exceptional sculpture:'
Taubman has been an integral part
of the DIA!s current renovation proj-
ect."My longstanding support of the
museum stems from my love of art,
my love of the DIA and my continued
interest in the Metropolitan Detroit
community:' said Taubman. "The
Grand Horse is a truly magnificent
work of art and an important addi-
tion to the museum's already out-
standing collection."

Duchamp-Villon's most important
achievement as an artist and is a
landmark of cubist sculpture. He
adapted the principles of cubist
painting, such as multiple viewpoints
and fragmented forms, to transform
the natural characteristics of a horse
into the elements of a machine to
show the beauty, power and speed
inherent in both.
Another sculpture, Two Lines
Oblique Down, Variation III
(1971), by George Rickey, will be
installed in the CCS sculpture garden
at the same time. The stainless steel
sculpture was a gift to the DIA in
memory of Josephine F. Ford by her
children.
"We are so proud of the Josephine F.
Ford Sculpture Garden and the inspi-
ration that it provides for our stu-
dents and the public:' said Richard L.
Rogers, president, College for Creative
Studies.
"The CCS community as well as
the entire region are lucky to have
such dedicated cultural community
members as Mr. Taubman and the
Josephine F. Ford family, individuals
who are providing world class art for
the entire community to enjoy."
The Josephine F. Ford Sculpture
Garden was inaugurated in
September 2005 and was made pos-
sible by a $2 million gift from the late
Josephine F. Ford. In addition to the
DIA sculptures, the two-acre garden
features an elliptical walk that con-
nects to five of the college's buildings,
a series of benches along the walk
and a variety of maple and pear trees,
rose and juniper shrubs and other
permanent plantings. IJ
