I think my favorite thing about Chicago is that you're just completely surrounded by public art sculptures at every corner. At the top of my favo of all time has to be Agora The Legs. I'm a huge sucker for food trucks and larger than life pieces of art. Agora consists of 106 cast iron sculptures that are shaped like wrinkly lower halves of human bodies. They're about three meters tall and 680kg. I'm obviously quoting these facts cos what American spouts out size in meters and weight in kilograms. It was commissioned by the Polish government and funded in part by Robin Williams, who is a fan of the artist, Magdalena Abakanowicz. This entire thing took the artist two years to make.
