Saw this reflection of the Batcolumn sculpture last week. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any lenses with me to get the best composition, but still thought this was a good look at Claes_Oldenburg‘s sculpture outside of the Social Security building.

I took this shot with Kodak Ultramax 400 in my Nikon FE with a 50mm f/1.8 lens. The sculpture, Monument with Standing Beast by Jean Debuffet, is located outside the Thompson Center in the Loop.

Steel Roots is an exhibit by Steve Tobin, which will be coming to the Morton Arboretum in April 2010.

The majestic fine-art exhibition, Steelroots: Tobin at The Morton Arboretum, will open on April 9, 2010!

From April 9, 2010 to January 11, 2011, we invite you to this exciting world premiere of the Steelroots sculpture series by artist Steve Tobin.

Steelroots will be set amid the enchanting backdrop of the 22-acre Conifer Collection. Several of Tobin’s works also will be featured near the Visitor Center.

The Steelroots exhibition showcases 15 featured sculptures comprised of massive rolled and bent steel pipes that soar up to 40 feet high. The Arboretum will display additional, dazzling works in various media.

Currently, he has a single sculpture, which is pictured above, located at the south end of North Pond. These sculptures are certainly interesting, and he does a lot of cool work – which you can check out on his website. They certainly make for some unique photography compositions.
