Hi,

I'm wondering oif anyone know who made the sculpture in the park and the other artwork to it's left. The artist is Ralph Rapien and he was Chicago based but I never saw the work of sculpture anywhere. If you know where it is, I'd appreciate it as well. Thanks very much,

Bob B

I'm a Chicagoan. The sculpture on the right is:

Attachment 48870

"Sunform"

Sculptor: David Rodgers
Unveiled: 1984; repositioned in 1998
Location: Lincoln Park -- Center plaza of the historic Great Lawn south of Park Place Café
Medium: Limestone
Size: The sculpture, which is 6' deep by 8' wide by 8' high, weighs 5 tons.
Description: A modern interpretation of a classic sundial, placed in recognition of The Lincoln Park Zoological Society's 25th anniversary

Google Sunform. Google Lincoln Park sculptures.

P.S. The object on the left (in the painting) is probably a gazebo.

Too funny!
I was just researching this and got as far as perusing dozens of locations in Lincoln Park to no avail. I hadn't scrolled down to see Wondergirl's response!
As for the dome, my first guess was an apiary near the huge botanical greenhouses. Just a guess. Gazebo sounds good.

Hi,

Thanks for giving me the entire load of detail on the sculpture.

That was really fast too.

Hi,

Thanks for the note. I'm going to do a Google maps on it and look at what it shows in detail. I think it might be a gazebo too.
