Chicago is well known for its architecture, and rightly so. We’ve also got some world class public sculpture adorning our parks and streets - the Picasso in Daley Plaza, the Calder Flamingo, the Miro figure-thingey, the Cloud Gate in Millennium Park and of course, Michael Jordan in front of the United Center…
Check out these other outdoor sculptures, perhaps not so well known:
South end of Grant Park ~ Lovely Nymphs
Olive Park near Navy Pier ~ The Doctor is in
Cityfront Center ~ American Gothic
West Loop ~ The Bat Column
Tribune Tower Plaza ~ King Lear
Two from Oz Park ~ The Cowardly Lion
The Tin Man
Grant Park ~ Agora
One Financial Place ~ Carved Horse
Lincoln Park Zoo ~ Elephants at the watering hole
These last three were posted on Flickr by Atelier Tee - I highly recommend visiting his photostream, he has some absolutely beautiful photos of the city.
