Stuart Hoffius collection of records
Abstract
Judge R. Stuart Hoffius (1914-2005) was one of the key players in bringing the Alexander Calder sculpture La Grande Vitesse to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Hoffius served with Nancy Mulnix and other Grand Rapids notables on the Vanderberg Center Sculpture Project Committee from 1967 through the dedication of the sculpture in June 1969. This collection includes documents relating to the sculpture project as well as some biographical information. For documentation of Hoffius work as a judge and for information on Judge Cornelius Hoffius, his father, see the Hoffius Collection located at the Bentley Library, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
