How does Eve (Davidson) elucidate its Location history?
Eve was first shown at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. It was then displayed at the Hoosier Salon in Chicago, and then in the John Herron School of Art. Eve was finally installed in the middle of a fountain at Ball Nurses' Sunken Garden and Convalescent Park by 1937. Over 60 years later, Eve was removed from the fountain and placed inside the University Library pending restoration by the Indianapolis Museum of Art's conservation staff. After conservation, Eve was housed in the HITS Building on the IUPUI campus with an accompanying interpretive sign stating, "Removed from the fountain in 1997 because of total ground instability. Temporarily placed here, in the Health Information and Translational Services Building, while awaiting rehabilitation of the Ball Nurse's Sunken Garden and Convalescent Park." In June 2016, Eve was returned the fountain as the centerpiece of the Ball Nurses' Sunken Garden after completing a restoration plan for the gardens prepared by the landscape architecture firm Rundell Ernstberger Associates.
