Angel in a Cage, Public sculpture in Menomonee Valley, United States.
A forty-foot steel tower structure containing a suspended fiberglass angel, positioned prominently along Canal Street in Milwaukee's industrial district.
The sculpture emerged in 1983 when Richard Pflieger created this design after winning a local committee contest for student sculptures.
The design combines industrial elements of Menomonee Valley with references to religious symbols found in Milwaukee's south side residential areas.
Located at 1915 West Canal Street, the sculpture stands in front of Emmber Foods Incorporated and remains accessible for viewing throughout the year.
Two metal ladders inside the tower structure lean against each other, creating an additional geometric pattern within the main framework.
