Walk through the University of Iowa campus and you'll find no evidence that one of America's most prominent artists once spent seven years on the faculty. No Grant Wood Hall. No Grant Wood Studio. No Grant Wood Gallery. No Grant Wood Square or Place or Center. Not even Grant Wood's Ghost. This story explains how one of the university's most prominent past faculty members is virtually unremembered on campus.The Des Moines Register used this as part of a story about Wood's life in Iowa.
