LSE: 2010 [“...Got Those Ole Penetrat’n Chicago Blues” - by Charles Yost]
“...Got Those Ole Penetrat’n Chicago Blues”
by Charles Yost..
Description: 8’ x 10’ x 20’ / Aluminum with Powder Coat Paint..
Location: Clark and Lincoln..
Sponsor: Old Town Triangle Association..
A part of Lakefront Sculpture International..
From the offcial Lakefront Sculpture International website..
Yost, who studied sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago and Northern Illinois University, has sculptures displayed throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, and Tennessee.
