Yeah, but I was there a couple of months ago and the piece wasn't there anymore. Did they put it back? That seems unlikely. |
It was reinstalled earlier this summer. Jared (the museum guy 312-280-2660) has lots of information on the Museum if anyone is interested in tours!!

No way! No way!-can't believe it!! MY FIRST BLUE!! I screamed to myself when I saw the Blue Ribbon--#1. I am too thrilled and want to thank all of you for your inspiring votes and comments--It's gonna be a good, NO GREAT day!!
I was surprise at most of the comments who thought this was a real scene, especially with the guard-rope evidence near the bottom of shot, but as a few of you acknowledged--it is actually a realistic sculpture in front of Contempory Art Institute of Chicago (title?). It is an actual car w/ trailer propped into the ground and lopsided!! Like anyone at first sight I thought it was an actual accident. It was mid afternoon, sat on steps in front of this sculpture and shot about 40 images of observing people surrounding it--waiting for the idea composition/story. Originally shot in color, I thought the bright yellow cab in background would be too distracting from the sculpture's monotones. I've should have used a faster shutter (as suggested) and sharpened just a bit for better clarity-but rushed before the midnite deadline "Stupid Stupid"--could this qualify? THANKS SO SO MUCH!!! -- Bus352

| What an opportunity. Nice being in the right place at the right time. Contrast is good, but clarity of image is a bit soft. Maybe a higher shutter speed. |

| okay, it's clearly street art / scultpure ,BUT the fact that you caught some guy on the phone looking at it is sheer genius. it adds a certain context to the image that works brilliantly and lifts it above 90% of the other entries in the challenge. i certainly hope this ribbons because the timig is great. the B&W adds to the voyeuristic and journalistic nature of the picture, and is nicely bright and clear. i'm interested to know where this scultpure came from; never seen a caravan like that in america, nor the fiat uno. interesting. really funny and a great shot, and fits the challenge. 10. |

| For a minute I thought this was real, then I noticed the rope to the right of the car. Pretty funny display/statue however! ;^) You've titled it just right and catching the guy on the phone puts it all together well. Good luck! |
