Cloud Gate
2004/2006
Sculptor: Anish Kapoor
Millennium Park, Chicago, IL, USA
Known affectionately as “The Bean,” the Cloud Gate stands at 33 feet by 66 feet by 42 feet, and weighs in at 110 tons. Indian-born, London-based artist Anish Kapoor used liquid mercury as the inspiration for the sculpture, which distorts and manipulates images reflected on its surface. A little known fact is that it’s actually hollow inside!What do you think? Art, or eyesore?
