Interesting sculpture by Alexander Calder, which was the first to be erected with funds from the federal "Percent for Art" program. The sculpture reminds me more of the Triffids from the 1951 novel of the same name by John Wyndham, but that's culture too. With its typical red color, the sculpture stands out wonderfully against the black background of the surrounding skyscrapers.

Vandring

This impressive sculpture is located in the famous park "Federal Plaza" in the heart of the city and is an important part of the cityscape.

This sculpture by Alexander Calder from the 1970s is a masterpiece of kinetic art. Made of stainless steel, the pink flamingo shape sways in the wind, adding a lively atmosphere to the park.

A visit to the Calder's Flamingo Sculpture is definitely worth a detour, especially if you're traveling near the Loop area. From here, you can explore the historic Theater District, Millenium Park and Michigan Avenue for a taste of Chicago's vibrant life.

Vandring

This bright red sculpture, made of steel and standing 16 meters tall, was unveiled in 1974 on Federal Plaza, directly in front of the Kluczynski Federal Building. It is a so-called stabile—an abstract, stationary sculpture—and a beautiful example of Calder's unique style.
