More Public Art in Chicago
As I was walking recently to the Chicago Cultural Center from our hotel I happened on this outdoor sculpture, one I have not seen before. It was apparently officially installed about two years ago.
Living World Series, Gentlemen, bronze on cast bronze plinth, by Ju Ming (1938-) from Taiwan. He trained as a woodcarver, but went on to an international career creating works in many materials. These figures are in bronze, but do have a look of wood carvings, I think.
On the plinth are a group of square, pedantic-looking men in suits and ties, some with 
hats, or with bags and briefcases, and umbrellas.
This is on the AMA Plaza, next to the IBM Building housing the Langham Hotel on the north side of the river.
It’s an unusual sculpture, and many people who walk by stop to take pictures.
