The Art of Scott Library - Day 5
“The Art of Scott Library” is designed as a self-guided drop-in tour for library visitors during designated hours at Congress, providing an opportunity to discover various works of art throughout the building and to scan a corresponding QR code leading to a dedicated webpage for each work of art. The digital portion of the tour includes information on each work’s materials and process of creation, biographical information on the artist and other interesting information.
Scott Library, the largest of York University’s libraries, is home to several works of visual art, including paintings, sculptures and pieces representing student artists from the University as well as acclaimed artists from across Canada and around the world. Many of these works, such as Michael Hayden’s “York Electric Murals” and Hugh LeRoy’s “Rainbow Piece,” are integrated with the building’s architecture, while other moveable pieces compliment the library’s signature brutalist style.
