The Sculpture Garden was designed by Dallas-based landscape architect Mahlon Perry and is noted for its dramatic curved walls, large reflecting pool, a water wall, graceful landscaping and grassy areas for sculpture placement. The current exhibition of sculptures features artists Eric McGehearty, Larry Whiteley, David Hayes and Eliseo Garcia and two sculptures from the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden by American artist Reuben Nakian. Permanent installations include the majestic granite Fountain Columns by Jesús Moroles, limestone benches by Michael Manjarris, the monumental Irving Centennial Mural mosaic and the recently donated sculpture ’03 Politicized Democracy by John Brough Miller.
