cloud gate


















Here is another installation piece in Chicago by Anish Kapoor. I think I really now need to go to Chicago and look for this stuff.

The 110-ton Cloud Gate sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly-polished stainless steel "plates" that create an elliptically-arched, highly-reflective work with Chicago's skyline and Millennium Park itself as a dramatic backdrop. Visitors fully experience the majestic nature of the work by literally walking through and around, as it was designed for public interaction. Inspired by liquid mercury, the sculpture is among the largest in the world, measuring 66-feet-long by 33-feet high. The plaza upon which Cloud Gale sits was made possible by a gift from the SBC Corporation.
