It's an installation by the celebrated British sculpture, Anish Kapoor who named it Cloud Gate (because it reflects clouds and neighboring buildings) ... but Chicagoans affectionately call it the 'kidney bean' because it is shaped like a kidney bean. It is really awesome, interactive, you can go under it, look at your reflection, touch it, etc.
Thanks to Kosta for the wonderful photographs! |
