Sculptures—Bill Majors Bust [Albert Milani]

A bust of Bill Majors, carved from Tennessee marble, was presented to the university as a gift in 1967 by its artist, Albert Milani, two years following the death of Coach Majors in a car accident. Milani was the chief carver for Candoro Marble Company from 1927 until his retirement in 1977. He had his own studio on Sutherland Avenue and accepted private commissions. Among his works are the two marble eagles that crown the facade of Knoxville’s 1934 downtown Post Office Building and the History of the World relief for the Pennsylvania State Capitol at Harrisburg. The Candoro Arts and Heritage Center has a permanent display, “Master Sculptor at Candoro: Albert Milani 1892–1977.”
