Loop Da Loop - Chicago, IL - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

This steel and aluminum sculpture resembles rings and is a play on the “loop” of downtown Chicago, among other symbols of the city. It is set on a median just north of the intersection of State and Lake, across from the Hotel Wit.

From a press release about the sculpture:

The sculpture was installed at the median on State Street, just north of Lake Street – known at the Gateway on State.

Loop Da Loop is a large-scale public sculpture, crafted from aluminum and steel, and stands at eleven feet tall. It draws inspiration from its site and incorporates concepts of “the Loop” on multiple levels. Designed to enhance the surroundings, the sculpture’s forms reference the “L” tracks – situated directly above and below the sculpture, and intertwines local typography with the unforgettable “C” – a classic symbol of the city. Loop Da Loop includes enough abstraction that individuals can discover their own interpretation as well as simply enjoy the sculpture’s aesthetic.
