Spaces with Iron was acquired by Newfields (formerly the Indianapolis Museum of Art) in 1981. In 1985 it was moved from the southwest corner of the sculpture court to the north of Newfields’ Krannert Pavilion. The sculpture was moved again in 1990 to Newfield's southeastern lawn by the parking lot, to either the north or west side. In late January 2009 it was removed from the Newfields grounds and installed on the IUPUI campus, at the corner of Blackford and Vermont Streets on the southeast lawn of the Science Building.
Spaces with Iron is one of four pieces on long-term loan to IUPUI from the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The others are Portrait of History, Mega-Gem, and East Gate/West Gate. Three pieces were transported to IUPUI in January 2009; however, due to its size, East Gate/West Gate was flown by helicopter to campus in March 2009. These pieces and other public art are installed along a portion of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, a bikeway and pedestrian path that "connects neighborhoods, entertainment facilities and the city's five cultural districts": Indiana Avenue, Massachusetts Avenue, Fountain Square, the Wholesale District, and White River State Park. The Cultural Trail, completed in 2013, connects downtown Indianapolis to Broad Ripple Village via the Monon Trail.
