Chicago Picasso

The Chicago Picasso is an untitled monumental sculpture by Pablo Picasso in Daley Plaza. Installed in 1967, this 50-foot-tall, 162-ton COR-TEN steel Cubist sculpture was the first monumental abstract public artwork in Downtown Chicago and is a well-known landmark. Visitors can view the sculpture up close and often climb on or slide down its base, which has inviting jungle gym-like characteristics. The piece helped broaden the idea of public art beyond traditional memorials and remains a must-see for art lovers and curious travelers alike.
