Miró's Chicago

Miró's Chicago is a 39-foot tall sculpture combining steel, wire mesh, concrete, bronze, and ceramic tile in an abstract form at Brunswick Plaza. The work merges multiple materials in a flowing composition that stands out against the urban backdrop.

The sculpture was created in 1981 following a commission from Brunswick Corporation with financial backing from public and private sources. A bronze model from 1967 with its original title now resides in another collection.

The sculpture expresses Miró's artistic vision through abstract forms and contributes to the city's public art collection. It stands alongside other notable installations and shapes the character of the downtown area.

The sculpture is located in downtown Chicago's Loop area and is easily accessible to pedestrians. Visitors can view it while walking through the city's architectural landmarks.

The work originally carried a different name referencing celestial elements. This early title choice reveals Miró's poetic approach to abstract form.
