Millennium Park: Cloud Gate
Posted in Art, Sculpture
This 110-ton steel sculpture that has been dubbed by residents as “The Bean”. You can find this $23 million sculpture at the Millennium Park, in Chicago. It was sculptured by the world-renowned artist Anish Kapoor. The Cloud Gate, installed at the AT&T Plaza, is a highly-polished reflective steel sculpture.
“The curved, mirror-like surface of the sculpture provides striking reflections of visitors, the city, and the sky; since its installation, it has probably become the most popular sculpture in the city.”
It is made of 168 highly polished stainless steel plates, and stands at 33 feet high, 66 feet long, and 42 feet wide, weighing 110 tons. If you see it from a distance, it looks like a huge drop of liquid mercury. I really like it, the bean is such a cool thing to see in person.
