We've already talked about many different works of sculpture in the city(Folding Forms, The Republic, Nautilus, Expanding Universe, and The Bean, just to name a few), but there are plenty more pieces to go around. One of those pieces is located on the lakefront art walk(along with Transcendent-3GP, Airship, and others) and is named Flamenco Revisited.
The work, which is yet another piece being exhibited as part of the Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition, was crafted by Ruth Aizuss Migdal in 2012. Migdal has always been based out of the Chicagoland area, having completed her collegiate studies at the school of the Art Institute. She then moved on to sculpting in 1971, a craft which she continues to this day. Between 1967 and 1996, she served as a professor at UIC as well as three of the City Colleges of Chicago. She has also participated in several art exhibitions over the years.
The sculpture itself is made of stainless steel painted red. From the front of it, it seems to resemble a woman dancing with her arms over her head, but it could be an angel as well? To be frank, I'm not really too sure what it's supposed to mean. Of course I don't really have a problem with it, that's just the way it is. In closing, that's just one more piece in the art walk.
