"Rex" (2002-03), a life-size bronze cast horse, a popular piece in the Utah Museum of Fine Art's collection, will be covered with a black drape in recognition of World AIDS Day on Saturday.

By concealing the work, which was created by artist Deborah Butterfield, the UMFA will commemorate the Day With(out) Art movement, which recognizes the effects of AIDS on artists and society as a whole.

Butterfield's contemporary bronze horse is a visual centerpiece atop the UMFA's staircase on the second floor.
