Magdalena Abakanowicz: "Agora" | Art Installations, Sculpture, Contemporary Art | Scoop.it

“Agora,” a permanent installation in the Grant Park, Chicago [2004-2006], by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz. It consists of 106 headless armless cast iron figures, each about 9 feet tall, shell like, frozen in walking movement. The figures are similar in general shape, but different in details. Models for each figure were made by hand, by the artist and her three assistants. The surfaces of figures are like a tree bark or wrinkled face expressing a different individuality of each sculpture.
