PUBLIC ART The Recognition Panels Laser-cut steel City of Chicago Public Art Collection

LOCATION: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. between 24th and 25th Sts. Mary Brogger’s design for The Recognition Panels is based on a motif found in the stone relief carvings atop The Victory Monument at 35th Street and King Drive. The pattern consists of a shield surrounded by a decorative acanthus vine with various icons commemorating aspects of Bronzeville’s legacy. Brogger’s juxtaposition of industrial, mass-produced materials with turn-ofthe- century ornamentation, visually and conceptually unifies the past and present.
