Crossing - Hubertus von der Goltz
Installed: May 22, 1998
Location: LaSalle Gateway Plaza on LaSalle Street,
just north of the Chicago River
Commissioned by the City of Chicago Percent for Art program.
It's one of Chicago’s publicly commissioned artworks. This sculpture named "Crossing", portrays an aluminum man precariously balanced atop a steel perch twenty-five feet in the air ... This artwork addresses the complex navigation of life as we approached the millennium .. "Situated at the north end of Chicago’s financial district and the south end of LaSalle Street’s retail strip, Crossing provides a bridge between the global and the local business worlds, as well as public and private lives."
In the background we see this sculpture "Ceres" by John Bradley Storrs.
It's on top the Chicago Board of Trade Building.

Do I remember correctly that the Ceres sculpture is also aluminum? Either way, it's a great photo of the two of them.
Thanks Ann for your comment!
