You may have noticed in the last few months that Lincoln Park, both the park and the neighborhood, has been flooded with new sculptures. There are new permanent sculptures installed as well as two temporary exhibits, adding up to a treasure trove of art. A warm November day is the perfect time to get out there on foot and on bike to enjoy these pieces.
"Chicago Industrial" by Marshall Svendsen resembles an eagle in flight, and provides yet another item of interest for bicyclists on the Lakefront Trail to enjoy. (Photo: Bike Walk Lincoln Park) |
"Surge" by Jaci Williams is installed along the Lakefront Trail just north of Diversey. (Photo: Bike Walk Lincoln Park) |
"Stone Wobble" by Derick Malkemus is one of many sculptures installed along the length of the "Grandmother's Garden" part of Lincoln Park, near Stockton and Belden. (Photo: Bike Walk Lincoln Park) |
"Bountiful Bench" by ChrisTina Murphy is in the park near Clark and Armitage. (Photo: Bike Walk Lincoln Park) |
Except for "Fountain Girl" and the buffalo, these works of art were all brought through two programs. One is the Chicago Sculpture Exhibit, which was begun in Lincoln Park by former alderman Vi Daley and has now grown to include sculptures in Lake View and Bucktown/Wicker Park as well.
