Monument with Standing Beast

Monument with Standing Beast is a public art installation located at 100 W. Randolph St. in Chicago, IL. Created by artist Jean Dubuffet, the sculpture is composed of four elements that resemble a standing animal, a tree, a portal, and an architectural form. Designed to engage viewers and reflect Dubuffet's urban style, the artwork invites people to enter and experience its open plan, resonating with the average person on the street.

With a special affection for Chicago, Dubuffet's Monument with Standing Beast is one of his three monumental sculpture commissions in the United States. The sculpture combines elements of street language, graffiti, and caricature, showcasing the artist's career-long development of a bold and often brutal style. As a significant part of Chicago's cultural landscape, this public art piece adds to the city's vibrant artistic scene and offers a unique experience for both locals and visitors.
