Agora

Chicago, United States of America

Agora

Agora is an installation of 106 headless and armless iron sculptures at the south end of Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. Designed by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz, they were made in a foundry near Poznań between 2004 and 2006. In 2006, the Chicago Park District brought the work to Chicago as

a permanent loan from the Polish Ministry of Culture. Similar installations have been constructed throughout the world, but Agora is among the largest.
