Description
"Chicago's Tallest"
---Original Photography by Doug Kreuger
Photographed March 2013 from the103rd floor of the Willis (Sears) Tower Skydeck Chicago.
This view is looking northeast towards The John Hancock Center and Lake Michigan beyond. From this vantage point, many of Chicago's tallest and most recognized buildings can be seen, including: Trump Tower, John Hancock Center, Wrigley Building, Marina Towers, Tribune Tower, IBM Plaza, 900 North Michigan, One Prudential Plaza (formerly the Prudential Building), Two Prudential Plaza, Smurfit-Stone Building (rear view) Aon Center (formerly the Standard Oil Building), Lake Point Tower, among others.
For those who are more familiar with Chicago architecture, many more landmark building names and addresses will be known.
In this artwork, my attempt is to produce the illusion; one is looking outward over the city through modern window frames in a high-rise office/residence.
My inspiration for creating this artwork came from a recent birthday gift I made for my wife, Debbie. Consisting of two large light boxes, measuring: 72" wide x 48" high, the scene is backlit. (Debbie used to work for a prominent law firm, whose offices were located on the 82nd floor in the Sears Tower.)
