Why - Chicago, IL - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

This bronze sculpture on a stone base resembles an organic form, almost like coral or an undersea creature. It is by Richard Hunt, a native Chicagoan, in 1974.

About Richard Hunt the Smithsonian says:

For more than three decades Richard Hunt's status as the foremost African-American abstract sculptor and artist of public sculpture has remained unchallenged. Executed in welded and cast steel, aluminum, copper, and bronze, Hunt's abstract creations make frequent references to plant, human, and animal forms. Hunt prefers to be called a "Midwestern sculptor," and is one of the few well known African-American sculptors who still resides and works in his hometown.
