Joan Miró born in Barcelona on April 20, 1893 was a very famous Spanish painter and sculptor. Miró had more of a passion for sculpting than painting because it allowed to him to use any assortment of medias and did not feel restricted like he did in painting. Steel, wire mesh, concrete, bronze and ceramic tiles were just some of the mediums used by him in some of his major commissions. This work has two names, it was originally called The Sun, the Moon and One Star but was later changed to Chicago. The piece stands at 12 meters tall and expresses many styles found in the Miró's paintings into a more physical, multi dimensional form.
