Cloud Gate Unveiled

A couple images of Cloud Gate, by artist Anish Kapoor, were sent around the office where I work. The sculpture is part of a raised garden east of the skating rink in Chicago's Millennium Park. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the sculpture will be concealed again (after months being constructed under a vaulted tent) around the end of the month with its final unveiling in September. Yet the "official" opening of the Park is July 16. The park won't be completely done until some time in 2005.

I don't know who took these pictures, so if you did let me know and I'll give you credit.
