History

Initially during the summer of 1974, the sculpture was located in Newport, Rhode Island. Mounted a large contemporary outdoor exhibition entitled "Monumenta". Alexander Liberman's Argo, sited on the edge of the water, received favorable notice and reviews.

Mrs. Harry Lynde Bradley purchased the sculpture because she determined it would complement the architecture of the newly enlarged Milwaukee Art Center, which had been largely financed by the Bradley Foundation. Argo became the first sculpture on the grounds of the museums new wing.
