Crown Fountain, Chicago Illinois


Another part of Millennium Park, the Crown Fountain by Jaume Plensa completed in 2004. Twin fifty foot granite towers echo the skyscrapers at the wall edge of the city as it approaches the lake. LED lights display human faces, sometimes spitting out water into the reflective pool. Water also flows down the towers. These trickle down the brick texture of each black facade.

This work of pop art also provides relief from the summer heat.
