One of Robert Arneson Egghead sculptures was laid on a patch of bricks in the middle of a lawn on the UC Davis Campus. This egghead was called, "Stargazer."

The egg head sculpture by Robert Arneson looked like a face had been applied to an egg. The face gazed upward at the sky during the day, and upward at stars at night. The Stargazer face was dappled in shade from a tree.

The face of the Stargazer sculpture appeared pleased by what he or she saw.

The top of the head when viewed from the other side of the lawn. From this angle, the egg shaped head looked more like a ball.
