Public Art
I first saw this on Boing Boing (of course), but the Cloud Gate sculpture is one of the best pieces of public art I’ve seen in ages. I’m more than a little jealous of Chicago. It looks like it would take some maintenance, however, to maintain its effect, so in that regard I’m less envious. It’s not like the artist is going to spend weekends polishing the thing, after all; but instead it will be shined up periodically by city workers. How long before scratches or graffiti spoil it?
