Object Details
- Luce Center Label
- Richard Jolley suggests that instead of its obvious interpretation as a baseball team, Nine Views is less literal, symbolizing the different possible viewpoints in any situation. The baseball caps simply indicate Everyman, and the impressive size of the piece relates to the very American belief that “bigger is better.”
