Description
In 2006, Allstate Insurance Company sponsored the Artists and Automobiles exhibit in honor of the company鈥檚 75th anniversary. The Public Art Program of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs partnered with the 快播视频 to organize this show which highlighted the work of five artists. Allstate provided old car parts that the sculptors used to create the artworks.
Today, the installations of three of the artists remain in the Grant Park. These are the works of artists Dessa Kirk, John Mason and Lucy Slivinski. Dessa Kirk鈥檚 enormous Red Lilies are made of doors, hoods, trunks and roofs from several Cadillacs. John Mason鈥檚 Arise 2 presents a somewhat more abstract version of a large flower. Lucy Slivinski鈥檚 Hedgerow is a garden feature composed of entwined mufflers, tailpipes, and headlights.
