Flight Forms - by Richard Hunt

2001

Stainless steel / 35 ft H

Commissioned by the City of Chicago Percent for Art program.

Richard Hunt’s Flight Forms unites a variety of forms in an upward-sweeping composition that suggests the defiance of gravity and the dynamism and wonder of flight. The sculpture’s grand scale balances the scale and character of the airport’s architecture. It is highly visible to passing motorists and provides an engaging experience for pedestrians.
