Interesting sculpture. It was blocked off due to some festival going on (which was not open yet as we arrived in the morning).One of the guards was nice enough to point out Miros statue across the street.

Cool art.You can guest what it is from different directions.

Heard about this ‘Untitled By Picasso’ which quietly guards the Chicago loop -while reading Mike Royko’s ‘One more time- The best of Mike Royko’. His interpretation of this sculpture was so interesting that I had to see this sculpture. Marking the cultural rebirth of Chicago, the sculpture was a gift from Pablo Picasso and was unveiled in 1967. Artist Picasso himself never interpreted this sculpture, making this art work interesting. Every year the annual Christkindlmarkt is guarded by this Picasso sculpture.

Havent found words yet.

Visited during the Christkindlmarket, which was so crowded! Long lines, hard to move around.Happy I went once, but would only go again if it wasnt as busy.Sculpture was very neat to see.

The area of this iconic sculpture is in downtown Chicago,Il. You can feel the history as you stand in front of it. There is a huge plaza where you can sit down and there is a small water feature. Its located across the street from block 37 which has a nice mall with restaurants and even a movie theater.

Well named! I did a walking tour - and the guide told us to look at the sculpture from behind in order to see the outline of a womans face, which was very cool. I could tell it was a Picasso the moment I saw it.. so certainly iconic!

The Picasso and the place where is located are just perfect to take a seat while you walk in Chicago. Also good place to take pictures, the day I went there were a couple taking wedding pictures.

Very interesting sculpture, allegedly by Picasso. As of yet, unnamed. Definitely one of several interesting things to see in downtown Chicago.

A fantastic public work of art by the noted creator, Pablo Picasso. An imposing, but interesting sculpture, located very centrally in the city, right outside Macys and Block 37.Not often crowded, its easy to come and take in the view and have a wee think.The square in which the sculpture stands also hosts the Christkindlmarkt in Chicago every year. During the citys frequent cold spells, you can also spot pigeons huddling around the braziers that punctuate the square...

Cool to look at but while I was there there were always markets or events going on in the plaza and children play on the base which is fun

What an unusual and abstract sculpture this Picasso is! I was with a group of 8 and not one of us thought it represented the same animal. Maybe its not supposed to be an animal at all! The sculpture stands tall in the square, and festivals, markets, and events are often held around it. Its free to walk up to it, touch it, play around on it and take plenty of selfies I thought it was a pegasus, but maybe a baboon? Take your guess, theres no wrong answer!

Blue Brothers is one of my favorite movies, so while visiting Chicago I had to come by here. Neat park (especially the eternal flame for all of our fallen military men and women) along with the sculpture.

Cool market, love the sculpture.

Pablo Picasso was approached by architect William Hartmann on behalf of the city of Chicago. William Hartmann befriended Picasso with a series of Chicago gifts. And as a result this friendship Picasso REFUSED payment for the commissioned art. That the city of Chicago had requested. The Untitled Picasso stands 50 feet in height and is located at the Daley Plaza in downtown Chicago.

Cool giant sculpture in the heart of Chicago. Another fine example of large scale public art in the city. Head to the art institute to see small models of this work. Dont go during the Christmas market that fills the square if you want to get a good look at the statue. Dont miss the other statues scattered around the area.

Its an interesting hunk of metal in Daley Plaza. Requisitioned by Chicago ane dedicated on August 15, 1967.From certain angles a womans profile may be observed.Its also, perhaps, the #1 place to meet up in the loop.

Weird looking doggie. Lots of pigeons around when I visited.

Enjoyed the Christkringle mart in Daley Plaza. Beautiful City and Spectacular Art.

Awesome even during the rainy misty Chicago.

A huge place to sit and enjoy scenery in front of mayor daily center in that heart of Chicago . There are many events held in this huge place. Tourists attraction. Food an drink from many different cuisines to try out.

Very, very interesting enormous iron work Picasso.

How great is free art! This piece is amazing.

Saw this while at the Christmas Market. Its really awesome, plus you can see more of this Picasso in the Art Institute of Chicago.

This is a must see as you explore the city of Chicago.

Beautiful statue located in the heart of the loop. Great idea to bring art to this area of downtown chicago!

One of my favorite public sculptures in Chicago. Not only is it a fantastic art piece with its multiple perspective interpretations, but also functions as a play piece for kids

Its a very nice place!!

One of many things that makes Chicago great. Very nice and synonymous with our Great city. I was just saying that The Chi is like no other place. We have so much that a person can do. You can accidentally walk past, what people take trips to see. MY KIND OF TOWN, CHICAGO IS.

I always pass by this sculpture on my work days, such a historic monument. It helps ground me back to earth from feeling like a working ant with no purpose, helps me understand that I have a purpose and that my own creativeness can help me get through each day...deep stuff eh.

Cool place to hang out on lunch breaks. There are some really great farmers markets here in the summer, just make sure you bring cash if you dont want to buy a lot at one time. There is also the winter christmas market as well.

It was great to see his work espevially after watching the genius Series

Loved and also feared this sculpture since I was a kid. Its pretty massive and I had no idea what it was. Its fascinating up close and from various angles. Still a must see for visitors.

Walked past this sculpture for a year before I realized who created it. Kids loved it too.

A Chicago masterpiece of public art. Famous design by the genius himself

Still just as fun as I remember it. Not too crowded, and good clean fun.

Nice public work!

Great sculpture.Open public space, events are held here regularly.

Its actually quite ugly, but some will see the beauty that I do not lol. I can honestly say, all jokes aside, I appreciate all art but I think Picasso was on drugs with this one.

The Chicago Picasso (often just The Picasso) is an untitled monumental sculpture by Pablo Picasso in Chicago, Illinois. The sculpture, dedicated on August 15, 1967, in Daley Plaza in the Chicago Loop, is 50 feet (15.2 m) tall and weighs 162 short tons (147 t).[The Cubist sculpture by Picasso was the first such major public artwork in Downtown Chicago, and has become a well-known landmark. It is known for its inviting jungle gym-like characteristics.Visitors to Daley Plaza can often be seen climbing on and sliding down the base of the sculpture. Cool thing

Wonderful piece of art

We were there for the open air German Christmas market. Waste of effort. Its so over crowded that you can barely move, let alone shop the vendors. Save your time and go elsewhere. Never even noticed the Picasso, though Im sure its cool.

One of the coolest sculptures in Chicago. What this untitled sculpture, lovingly referred to by locals as The Picasso, depicts is highly debated. Some say it was inspired by Picassos lover, some think it is an angel, or even an Afghan hound dog. Picasso never actually explained what it was meant to represent, but it remains a monumental and influential sculpture influencing many great artists and adding to the beautiful public art landscape of Chicago.

Have been visiting since I was a baby, love that it still stands today and looks just as beautiful

Its a nice site, not much to do except look at it and appreciate it though.

Iconic Chicago art piece at Daley Plaza - host of many food fests & gatherings like Chicago Critical Mass [#bike ride].

Its iconic and i just love it. Visit it and youll see why.

So as modern art and metal sculpture go, this is an interesting piece to see. One little boy was heard to ask his dad, Is that a bird? I thought that the youngling nailed it fairly well and his dad gave an affirming response also. I dont know that it tanks highly enough for me to travel many many miles out of my way to see it, but as we walked the opposite river shore, it was an enjoyable sight along the river walk.

Beautiful and peaceful area if undont mind traffic n trains which isbthe sound of the cities heartbeat if u ask me.

Farmers market on Thursday is the best. I bought 2 large squashes. Too big to be sold in supermarkets. Bought peaches. Fresh bread. Pastries smelled so good! Colors are beautiful. Enjoy!

I like public art displayed in the streets and squares. This huge metal construction has big open space surrounding. Great place to people watch. Sometimes there is open market organized on that square.

Just wonderful when children use it as a sliding board. I believe that would make Pablo most happy

Such a beautiful gift to Chicago. Will never forget the first time I saw him there. Very trippy.

The Sculpture was pretty awesome. Its big and people slide down from the top section which you can climb. I even saw a guy ride up and down in his roller blades, it was petty great. The location is nice and a big open space surrounded by buildings.

Its a huge sculpture of what looks like a horse. I am not sure if this sculpture was made by Picasso, but it does look fabulous!

An immense Picasso sculpture in the middle of 2nd city.

The last Friday of every month is when cyclists meet up here for Critical Mass Chicago. Critical Mass is a good way of joining a group ride that will watch out for you, move at a good pace, and show you the city in ways youd never expect. Normally the folks start showing up around 530 and the ride rolls out between 6/630Chicago has a lot of group bike rides but generally this is the biggest one that goes year round. Weve done some where The Route was less aggressive, but many involve taking the streets on very main streets.

Just pedwaying by. Saw this. Oh. It’s a Picasso.

Saw this statue on a walking tour. Interesting story on how the statue came to be. A great stop on our tour.

Great place to people watch and eat from the food trucks

Excellent large sculpture. Worth visiting because the area attracts other cultural activities.

Great place to meet someone - easy landmark to find ... Or get directions to.Great place to eat lunch to go - from home or from any of numerous nearby restaurants.Great place to people watch.Great place to just sit and enjoy Chicago.

Its a great piece of work by Picasso great location in the loop and its a wonderful piece of history I recommend everybody stops by and take a selfie with it its an outstanding and theres a lot to do around it so you could spend a couple of hours of fun in the loop

Amazing piece to check out. Chicago has a lot to offer and many art pieces all over the city.

T we wer it yap520JL,8 is aa aq

They are get ready for the upcoming Christmas season with the building of the Chris Kringle market by the Picasso.

I love Chicago, you can walk around and see art in this wonderful city!

I have a pic because i was here today! This statue is huge! Its a Chicago classic! Many many people from all over the world come to Chicago just to see this! Its soo kewl! Everytime i go downtown i stop here just to climb it and get a pic! In the winter it looks even better! Its never packed but they do have gathering here all the time

Not so crowded place, and very clean, easy to take photos

Great location and fun place. Skaters ride the artwork :)

Ate lunch here during jury duty. It was a good alternative to the stuffy lounge in the courthouse. It was also full of people all day. Some were obviously families coming to enjoy the view, others were jurors or folks who worked in the area eating or smoking. Theres good access to trash bins, recycling bins, a short walk to Walgreens and McDonalds.

Beautiful place for visit Inc. Plenty of activities in the summer.

Always love going here. Had An interactive display of Doctors Without Borders. Great display

One of the sites of Chicago. Its unwittingly interactive with kids playing on it. A true masterpiece, one of many in Chicago. Among the others outdoors is a Miro, a Dubuffet, a Chagall and a Calder all within 4 blocks of the loop.

The Kris Kringle Market at this spot every year is to die for I love it a lot its good for the whole family especially if you love Christmas!

Its a Picasso Sculpture whats not to love?

Very nice public square. Have farmers market, chairs in summer, even sometimes concert

I visited this during my Thanksgiving break when the Christmas market was going on. It was very fun but also crowded. I found that Monday mornings are the least crowded.

Really? Untitled? I heard it was called Gorilla Face... (Ok... Not!)

Amazing art AND fun to play in.

I fed pigeons here. They were so cute!

Its Picasso. You either like, or you dont. But, the whimsy and the history must have some value for you.

True Chicago Landmark... it might be in just about every movie and television show that has a scene remotely about Chicago! Plus the Farmers Market is there on Thursdays from May-Oct! Great way to spend your lunch break, get some steps in and buy some tasty treats!

A wonderful piece of outdoor Chicago art. Actually one of the first large scale pieces outside of the Spearman and the Bowman. everyone enjoys.

For me that Im from Spain it has been a great and big surprise to find a Picasso sculpture here. I really love all his work so the only thing left to say you cant miss it!

Visit on a clear night. This is a great stop to sit for a while and ponder the artists intentions.

You can actually walk on Picassos artwork. Try getting away with that at MoMA. Most creative use of trench plate youll ever see.

Great place to hang out and be. Very unique artwork.️️

If you come all the way downtown to see this statue, also visit other famous places nearby such as:Art Institute of ChicagoState of Illinois buildingChicago TheatreChicago river walkMichigan ave from Wacker Ave up north to the Magnificent MileThe Magnificent MileNavy pierGrand ParkBuckingham FountainAll these places are within 2 miles of the Picasso Statue.Enjoy!

Cool but still strange after all these years.

All good,, good Ppl, and foods, clean and well still pricey..

Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to describing what this sculpture is but use the base of this sculpture to slide down it! You have to slide down it- AT LEAST ONCE! Dont feel youre too old or too mature because that mentality ages you and robs you of living your life to the fullest! And while youre there, go check out the eternal flame that honors troops! Its just feet away from the sculpture enclosed in a metal fence to keep people from stepping/falling into it.* Dont mind the bums! Theyre always hanging out in downtown Chicago looking for people who are willing to give them money.

Its very nice sculpture

I was there for The Chosen Few DJs House Party. Great crowd and music. I want to attend the next one in October.

Beautiful place, excellent art piece. good place for christmass.

In my opinion I enjoy going to the Picasso it Is really really nice and relaxing atmosphere I like going @ night,because it is quiet and peaceful I really like looking @ the art work people go and take pictures I just like going and sitting out and relaxing and the kids enjoy playing on the art ... Just be careful playing on it...

Great sculpture by Picasso decorating Daily Plaza. Worth the visit. And its free to see it.

Interesting piece of art in the middle of Chicago downtown area. Worth checking it out!

I can remember seeing this thing when I was 5 years old, that was 53 years ago, I still think nobody has figured out what it is
