The Picasso

Nice piece of public art, worth exploring various viewing angles around it.

The beautiful and colorful Picasso-style monumental exposition has a beautiful urban ensemble with the site, the square and the city architecture. Also on the square where the monument is located, next to it, a market of fresh vegetables, fruits , flowers and various products of local producers and farmers is organized from morning till lunch. A pleasant space

A Chicago icon. Pop quiz: What's the name of the statue? Answer: It doesn't have one! Be sure to take your out of towner friends to go see this at the Daley Center.

Iconic piece of public art in the Chicago business district. It’s a shame they parked food trucks all around it so you can’t appreciate the art in its full glory.

Chicago Picasso is a landmark sculpture by Pablo Picasso (1967). Located at Daly Plaza, it is a 15 metre tall Cubist sculpture that from the sides seems to be just fragmented sheets of metal. However, when viewed directly in front, resembles the head of an Afghan Hound.

It is an interesting public artwork worth spending a few minutes to enjoy if you plan to be in the downtown area and enjoy art and monument viewing during your travels.

Stark, but interesting sculpture in this large public plaza. Ample photo ops!

That said, we passed it so many times without seeing it because we were focused on the memorial flame on the east edge of the plaza. Well, that's what keeps the city fascinating, right?!

Picasso sculpture in Daley Plaza. Unveiled in 1967, much to the Mayor's chagrin.
I like this now popular, yet somehow still "unusual" landmark. One of Picasso's largest sculptures, 50 feet tall and 147 tons, and it's in Chicago. I like it! Weird, cool, huge... silently watching.
