119 sculptures fall into this category. Émile-Antoine Bourdelle's Herakles/Archer bridges the 19th and 20th centuries as do Edward MacCartan's Diana and Harriet Frishmuth's Desha. The emerging aesthetic values of the new century are represented by such objects as Raymond Duchamp-Villon's The Horse (Le cheval), Alexandra Exter's three maquettes of dancing figures, Construction in Space: Arch by Naum Gabo, Theodore Roszak's Red Monument to Lost Dirigible, and Alexander Calder's wire Portrait of Michel Tapié.

Included among the sculptures of the 1950s and 60s donated byAlexander and Henrietta Hollaender are an early bronze bird figure by Karel Appel, The Eagle by Germaine Richier, a colorful kinetic piece by Pol Bury, a welded iron sculpture by David Smith, and bronzes by Joán Miró and Max Ernst. Also notable are four sculptures by Leonard Baskin and a steel, canvas, and wire construction by Lee Bontecou. Barbara Hepworth, Gillian Jagger, Italo Scanga, and Robert Hudson represent the seventies from formalist abstraction to assemblages of found objects. A hyper-realist nude by John De Andrea, five figurative works in wood, bronze and terracotta by Peter Gourfain, porcelains by Ruth Duckworth, a dynamic assemblage by Judy Pfaff, a monumental aluminum piece by Boris Orlov, and the site-specific outdoor work by Richard Artschwager, Generations, reflect the diversity of the last two decades of the century. Works created in the 21 st century by Martha Glowacki and Don Reitz expand the Chazen's collection of artists with Wisconsin ties. In addition to examples of the leading exponents of contemporary ceramic art such as Reitz, Lino Tagliapietra's Dinosaur (6) adds to the significant nucleus of pieces by the founder of the studio glass movement at the UW-Madison, Harvey Littleton.
