This sculpture by Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor was constructed between 2004 and 2006. Because of it's shape, it has been nicknamed "The Bean"...and many people probabky don't know it's proper name is Cloud Gate.
The large work is made of stainless steel...and is very reflective. The curves of the structure provide reflections similar to those from funhouse mirrors.
