Everybody's watching Chicago, as 49 year old designer Tony Tasset reveals his new centrepiece for the Chicago Loop Alliance's Art Loop 2010. Made from 15 fibreglass pieces attached to reinforced steel base, this 30 ft structure truly is impressive. Attracting thousands of people, Tasset reveals that in fact, this eye is a giant replica of one of his own blue eyes. Tasset explains,
“My job as an artist, as a sculptor, first and foremost is to make the space more interesting. I really wanted to make something that had a wow effect. This is Chicago after all. It’s the city of big shoulders. So I had to go all out.”
Well Mr Tasset, people will certainly be all eyes!!
