Photography Sunday! pt. 2

This week's Photography Sunday deals with photos outside the Art Institute of Chicago.

The two bronze lions outside the Art Institute (by Edward Kemey) were made in 1893. They were a gift from Mrs. Henry Field. The south lion is "Stands in an Attitude of Defiance." The north lion is "On the Prowl."





This arch is found at the east entrance of the Art Institute. It used to be at the entrance of the old Chicago Stock Exchange. It was designed by Louis Sullivan in 1894.



These photos are from the West facade. The current location is the third that the Art Institute has had. It was designed by Shepley Rutan and Coolidge for the 1893 World's Colombian Exposition.

Photography Sunday! pt. 1

I am introducing a new posting this week. From now on I will be posting photography on Sundays. For this week's Photography Sunday, I will be posting photos from the Stanley McCormick Memorial Court (or the North Garden) at the Art Institute of Chicago. It is located Across from Millennium Park on South Michigan Avenue.

This first photo (as well as some later photos) is of Large Interior Form (1953-54, bronze) by Henry Moore. The other photos are of Cubi VII (1963, stainless steel) by David Smith.
