Cloud Gate
Designed by British artist Anish Kapoor, the 110-ton
(99,790.3 kg) elliptical sculpture is forged from a seamless
series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect
Chicago’s famous skyline and the clouds above. Inspired by
liquid mercury, the sculpture is among the largest of its kind
in the world, measuring 66 ft. (20 m) long by 33 ft. (10 m) high.
