Chicago's Pablo Picasso sculpture turns 50

(8 Aug 2017) A work of public art that initially bewildered and displeased many Chicagoans, only to later become a city icon, is turning 50.
Chicago is marking the 1967 unveiling of the Pablo Picasso sculpture this month. Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events presided over a restaging of the 1967 unveiling at Daley on Tuesday, August 8.
What happened here 50 years ago was more than an unveiling of a work of art. It was a critical inflection point in Chicago's story. It was a spark that ignited five decades and more than 1400 pieces of public art throughout our city, said Emanuel.
Originally met with mixed reviews by the public, the Picasso has become a Chicago icon attracting visitors from around the world.
The 50th anniversary and restaging welcomed Chicagoans and visitors alike, and including attendees present at the original 1967 unveiling.
Michael and Patricia Shymanski, who watched the 1967 unveiling after picking up their marriage license nearby, were there to watch today's celebration, too.
The wonderful thing about public sculpture is that it engages the public. And Chicago has established a great tradition of the sculpture engaging the public.
The Picasso stimulated all sorts of discussion and engagement and attempts at interpreting the art, said Michael Shymanski.
Chicago columnist Mike Royko 50 years ago famously described the tepid applause from a disappointed crowd of VIPs as the Cubist structure was unveiled. He wrote some people just stood there, frowning or blank-faced.
Royko said with some admiration that it looked like a giant insect that is about to eat a smaller, weaker insect.
But the sculpture grew on Chicagoans and it became a popular tourist attraction.

Chicago Picasso es una escultura monumental sin título de Pablo Picasso en Chicago, Illinois. La escultura, dedicada el 15 de agosto de 1967, en Daley Plaza en Chicago Loop, mide 50 pies de alto y pesa 162 toneladas corta

Artist Pablo Picasso
Year 1967
Medium Sculpture
Fabricator: American Bridge Company
Dimensions 15 m (50 ft)
Location Daley Plaza, Chicago
41°53′01″N 87°37′48″W

An architect who worked on the Daley Center project, Richard Bennett, wrote Picasso a poem asking him to make the sculpture.[6] Picasso accepted saying You know I never accept commissions to do any sort of work, but in this case I am involved in projects for the two great gangster cities (the other being Marseille, France). Picasso refused the $100,000 payment, considering his work a gift to the people of Chicago.[7]

The sculpture was fabricated by the American Bridge Company division of the United States Steel Corporation in Gary, Indiana using COR-TEN steel, before being disassembled and relocated to Chicago.[1] The steel for this statue was rolled in the USS Gary Works 160/210 plate mill, then the largest rolling mill of its kind in the world. Before fabrication of the final steel sculpture was started, a 3.5 meter (~12 feet) tall wooden model was constructed for Picasso to approve, this was eventually sent to the Gary Career Center.[8] Ground was broken in Daley Plaza for the construction of the sculpture on May 25, 1967.[9]

The efforts of the City of Chicago to publicize the sculpture — staging a number of press events before the sculpture was completed, and displaying the maquette without a copyright notice — were cited as evidence in a 1970 U.S. District Court case where the judge ruled that the city's actions had resulted in the sculpture being dedicated to the public domain.[5]

Controversy
The sculpture was initially met with controversy.[10] Before the Picasso sculpture, public sculptural artwork in Chicago was mainly of historical figures.[3] One derisive Chicago City Council alderman, John Hoellen, immediately proposed replacing it with a statue of Ernie Banks,[11] and Chicago publicist and science fiction writer Algis Budrys erected a giant pickle on the proposed site.[12] There was speculation on the subject, which has ranged from a bird, or aardvark to Picasso's pet Afghan Hound, a baboon head,[13] the Egyptian deity Anubis,[14] or Sylvette David, one of his models.

Newspaper columnist Mike Royko, covering the unveiling of the sculpture, wrote: Interesting design, I'm sure. But the fact is, it has a long stupid face and looks like some giant insect that is about to eat a smaller, weaker insect. Royko did credit Picasso with understanding the soul of Chicago. Its eyes are like the eyes of every slum owner who made a buck off the small and weak. And of every building inspector who took a wad from a slum owner to make it all possible.... You'd think he'd been riding the L all his life. [15]

Inspiration

View taken in 2007
Although Picasso never explained what the sculpture was intended to represent, it may have been inspired by a French woman, Sylvette David, now known as Lydia Corbett, who posed for Picasso in 1954. Then 19 years old and living in Vallauris, France, Corbett would accompany her artist boyfriend as he delivered chairs made of metal, wood and rope. One of those deliveries was to Picasso, who was struck by her high ponytail and long neck. He made many portraits of her. At the time, most people thought he was drawing the actress Brigitte Bardot. But in fact, he was inspired by [Corbett], Picasso's grandson Olivier Widmaier Picasso told the Chicago Sun-Times in 2004.

I think the Chicago Sculpture was inspired by her, said the grandson, author of Picasso, the Real Family Story. Picasso made 40 works inspired by her, said the grandson, including The Girl Who Said No, reflecting their platonic relationship. The quality of the Picasso sculpture inspired other artists such as Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Claes Oldenburg and Henry Moore.


An Afghan Hound dog
This sculpture is also seen as an abstract replica of an Afghan Hound dog. Picasso had a Dachshund dog, Lump, which was the former companion to an Afghan Hound dog owned by Picasso's friend David Douglas Duncan. In the 1970s Jacqueline Picasso explained to Neil Thomas an Australian lady it was simply a male Baboon viewed from head on. Picasso loved the way the creature changed as you viewed it from different angles; it was part of continuation of his lifelong inspiration from Africa.

The Art Institute of Chicago Sculpture Garden.

The Art Institute of Chicago is flanked by two little gardens. The south garden features Lorado Taft's “Spirit Of The Great Lakes” fountain and we've covered that in a pervious clip. The North Garden is the subject of today's video and it was just a plain lawn until 1960 when rows of hawthorn trees, beds of flowers, and a pool transformed the space into a garden. The garden was reconfigured in 1990 and they began adding sculptures from the museums collection. There was another tweaking in 2003 done by Jens Jensen great-great grandson and namesake of the 20th-century landscape architect and colleague of Frank Lloyd Wright. The works are, in order of appearance; Henry Spencer Moore “Large Interior Form”, David Smith “Cubi VII”, Ulrich Rückriem Untitled, 1987 and one of the last works by Alexander Calder “Flying Dragon”.

Chicago:The Loop

The Loop, is the central business district in the downtown area of the city.

In what is now the Loop, on the south bank of the Chicago River near today's Michigan Avenue Bridge, the United States Army erected Fort Dearborn in 1803, the first settlement in the area sponsored by the United States. In the late nineteenth century cable car turnarounds and a prominent elevated railway encircled the area, giving the Loop its name. Around the same time some of the world's earliest skyscrapers were constructed in the area. In 1908, Chicago addresses were made uniform by naming the intersection of State Street and Madison Street in the Loop as the origin of the Chicago street grid.

Loop architecture has been dominated by skyscrapers and high-rises since early in its history. Notable buildings include the Home Insurance Building, considered the world's first skyscraper (demolished in 1931); the Chicago Board of Trade Building, a National Historic Landmark; and Willis Tower, the world's tallest building for nearly 25 years.

The Loop contains a wealth of outdoor sculpture, including works by Pablo Picasso. Chicago's cultural heavyweights, such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Goodman Theatre, the Chicago Theatre, the Lyric Opera at the Civic Opera House building, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, are also in this area, as is the historic Palmer House Hilton hotel, found on East Monroe Street.

Chicago's waterfront, which is almost exclusively recreational beach and park areas from north to south, features Grant Park in the downtown area.

The Loop is the seat of Chicago's government. It is also the government seat of Cook County and houses an office for the governor of the State of Illinois.

According to the 2010 census, 29,283 people live in the neighborhoods in or near the Loop. The median sale price for residential real estate was $710,000 in 2005 according to Forbes.

The neighborhood includes former railyards that have been redeveloped as new-town-in-town such as Dearborn Park and Central Station. Former warehouses and factory lofts have been converted to residential buildings, while new townhouses and highrises have been developed on vacant or underused land. A major landowner in the South Loop is Columbia College Chicago, a private school that owns 17 buildings.

The South Loop was historically home to vice districts, including the brothels, bars, burlesque theaters, and arcades. Inexpensive residential hotels on Van Buren and State Street made it one of the city's Skid Rows until the 1970s. One of the largest homeless shelters in the city, the Pacific Garden Mission, was located at State and Balbo from 1923 to 2007, when it moved to 1458 S. Canal St.

The Loop also contains the Chicago Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard District, which is the section of Michigan Avenue opposite Grant Park and Millennium Park.

The Loop Retail Historic District is a shopping district within the Chicago Loop.

The Loop, along with the rest of downtown Chicago, is the second largest commercial business district in the United States, after New York City's Midtown Manhattan. Its financial district near LaSalle Street is home to the CME Group's Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Aon Corporation maintains its headquarters in the Aon Center. Chase Bank has its commercial and retail banking headquarters in Chase Tower. Exelon also has its headquarters in the Chase Tower. United Airlines has its headquarters in Willis Tower. United moved its headquarters to Chicago from Elk Grove Township, Illinois in early 2007. In addition, United's parent company, United Continental Holdings, also has its headquarters in Willis Tower. Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association has its headquarters in the Michigan Plaza complex. Sidley Austin and Morton Salt are both headquartered in the Loop.

Daley Plaza, Chicago

Daley Plaza in downtown Chicago, Illinois. This was on a Tuesday around 5:50 pm, temperature was a balmy 29 degrees. First you'll see the CBS Jumbotron (just like the one in my living room, LOL), then the Picasso sculpture in Daley Plaza and then the huge Christmas tree that was just put up in Daley Plaza also. It was a very nice night out in the city.

The Picasso, the Bean and now the Blonde Bombshell. A 26-foot-tall sculpture of Marilyn Monroe in he

HEADLINE: Raw Video: Sculpture of Marilyn Monroe unveiled
CAPTION: The Picasso, the Bean and now the Blonde Bombshell. A 26-foot-tall sculpture of Marilyn Monroe in her most famous pose was unveiled on Chicago's now-truly Magnificent Mile Friday morning. (July 15)
Keyword-wacky-bizarre
SOT: LESLIE MICKEY / VISITING FROM NEBRASKA Marilyn Monroe is an icon and I just think it's really neat.
SOT: DON ARCHER / CHIAGO RESIDENT
I was looking at the statue and I collect Marilyn Monroe memorabilia and I saw this coming up like this whole week the unveiling from her legs up and it was unbelievable and last night I was coming home from work and the face was still covered and I had to come this morning to take pictures of it.
SOT: DARIN MICKEY / VISITING FROM NEBRASKA Well we were just trying to explain to our kids who Marilyn Monroe was and they still don't have any idea so we tried to explain to them that she was the sex symbol back in the day.
SOT: MARTHA SEIXAS / VISITING FROM BRAZIL And then we just walked by and my boyfriend pointed out-what is that?-I love it, I love it.
CHICAGO (AP) _ The Picasso, the Bean and now the Blonde Bombshell.
A 26-foot-tall sculpture of Marilyn Monroe in her most famous pose was unveiled on Chicago's now-truly Magnificent Mile Friday morning.
Passers-by wasted little time positioning themselves under her billowing skirt to get a subway-grate view of Monroe in the same stance as she appeared in The Seven Year Itch.
The area is known for unusual public art displays. Years ago, Michigan Avenue was lined with fiberglass cows.
And in the same plaza where the Monroe statue now stands, another sculpture by the same artist, Seward Johnson, was put up: a tribute to the farmer and daughter of Grant Wood's American Gothic fame.
The Marilyn Monroe statue will stand until next spring.

Discover Chicago - The Great American City | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids

If you love art Chicago is definitely the city you need to be in. It has some of the best cutting-edge buildings, public art, museums and monuments in the world. Most of it is on free display like the unnamed Picasso sculpture in the Daley Plaza and the 2006 Cloud Gate (a.k.a. “The Bean”) which have now become symbols of the city. The latter is in Millennium Park, a park initially commissioned to celebrate the new millennium. Few other famous spots in the park include the Jay Pritzker Pavilion which is a 120-feet high outdoor concert venue, the Crown Fountain and the urban oasis Lurie Garden.

The Art Institute of Chicago isn’t free to visit but it’s a must-see if you are ever in the city. It is the second-largest museum in the United States spread across million square feet and comprised of 300,000 pieces. It stands to witness more than 5,000 years of history from various cultures from all around the world. Artists who have work on display in the museum include Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Gustave Caillebotte.

Another museum worth checking is the Museum of Science and Industry. It was opened in 1933 by Julius Rosenwald, a philanthropist and chairman of Sears, Roebuck, and Company. Inspired by the Deutsches Museum in Munich, this building holds exhibits that are interactive and cover a variety of industries, including mining, automobiles, telecommunications, aviation and aeronautics, space travel, agriculture, and medicine. We really enjoyed the World War II German U-505 submarine and a 3,000-square-foot model railroad.

Discover the beautiful windy city and let us know where you're watching from!

Michigan Ave. in Chicago

Walking around Michigan Ave. allows you to see some amazing sites including Grant Wood's American Gothic, the Chicago Times building, the Moose sculpture by John Kearney, legendary Chicago commentator Jack Brickhouse's monument as well as many others not seen in this video.

* I originally uploaded this video with U2's City Of Blinding Lights as background music which really works well with the video, but unfortunitely Youtube deemed the usage unallowable and stripped the video all all audio in true youtube fashion. I'll work on finding a solution to this problem, but in the meantime...ENJOY CHICAGO!!!!

Places to see in ( Chicago - USA )

Places to see in ( Chicago - USA )

Chicago, on Lake Michigan in Illinois, is among the largest cities in the U.S. Famed for its bold architecture, it has a skyline punctuated by skyscrapers such as the iconic John Hancock Center, 1,451-ft. Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) and the neo-Gothic Tribune Tower. The city is also renowned for its museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago with its noted Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works.

Steely skyscrapers, top chefs, rocking festivals – the Windy City will blow you away with its low-key cultured awesomeness. It's hard to know what to gawp at first. High-flying architecture is everywhere, from the stratospheric, glass-floored Willis Tower to Frank Gehry's swooping silver Pritzker Pavilion to Frank Lloyd Wright's stained-glass Robie House. Whimsical public art studs the streets; you might be walking along and wham, there's an abstract Picasso statue that's not only cool to look at, but you're allowed to go right up and climb on it. For art museums, take your pick: impressionist masterpieces at the massive Art Institute, psychedelic paintings at the mid-sized Museum of Mexican Art or outsider drawings at the small Intuit gallery.

Loosen your belt – you've got a lot of eating to do. On the menu: peanut-butter-and-banana-topped waffles for breakfast (at Stephanie Izard's Little Goat), a chicken, apple and cranberry hot dog for lunch (at Hot G Dog), and 20 courses of centrifuged, encapsulated molecular gastronomy for dinner (at Grant Achatz' Alinea). You can also chow down on a superb range of ethnic eats from Vietnamese pho to Mexican carnitas, Polish pierogi and Macanese fat rice. Still hungry? Order a late-night deep-dish pizza.

Chicago is a maniacal sports town, with a pro team for every season (two teams, in baseball's case). Watching a game is a local rite of passage, whether you slather on the blue-and-orange body paint for a Bears football game, join the raucous baseball crowd in Wrigley Field's bleachers, or plop down on a bar stool at the neighborhood tavern for whatever match is on TV. Count on making lots of spirited new friends. Should the excitement rub off and inspire you to get active yourself, the city's 26 beaches and 580 parks offer a huge array of play options.

Chicago knows how to rock a festival. Between March and September it throws around 200 shindigs. The specialty is music. Blues Fest brings half a million people to Millennium Park to hear guitar notes slide and bass lines roll, all for free. During the four-day Lollapalooza mega-party, rock bands thrash while the audience dances in an arm-flailing frenzy. Smaller, barbecue-scented street fests take place in the neighborhoods each weekend – though some rival downtown for star power on their stages (oh, hey, Olivia Newton-John at Northalsted Market Days).

Picasso and Chicago, the new exhibit at the Art Institute, celebrates the unique relationship between the most important artist of the 20th century and the city of Chicago. In 1913, The Art Institute was the first museum in the United States to exhibit the unknown artist's work thereby introducing the city and it's collectors to modern art. This exhibit features over 250 paintings, sculpture, prints, & drawings from the Art Institute's vast Picasso holdings as well as those of local collectors—the first large scale exhibit mounted by the museum in 30 years. This magnificent exhibit includes works from Picasso's Red, Blue, Cubist and Classical periods. It also tells the story of the Chicago Picasso in Daley Plaza. Near the end of his career, the great artist gave Chicago an untitled steel sculpture that has since become an indelible image of the city and has linked Chicago & Picasso together for eternity. The exhibit runs through May 12th.

Just across the street from the Art Institute at Adams is Russian Tea Time—one of the most unique restaurants in Chicago. Featuring the cuisine of the former Soviet Union, the hearty menu at Russian Tea Time is an enjoyable and satisfying way to stave off Chicago's winter chill. The black bread, Chicken Paprikash, & Beef Stroganoff are filling and much needed prerequisites for the flights of Vodka that are sure to follow. Enjoy horseradish, honey, and pepper-flavored Vodkas along with ceremonial instructions on how to toast & drink them. The décor & classic music of the former USSR make Russian Tea Time the perfect escape—Na Zdorovie!
