"In a world in which we often find ourselves isolated
and estranged from one another, my work suggests and celebrates
the possibility of relationship and community where love, support,
playfulness and individual self expression can flourish."
-Peter W. Michel
The 1999 Chicago Pier Walk Show was the fifth year of
this show and
is claimed to be the largest outdoor sculpture show in the
world. In 1998 Pier Walk '98 had 171
monumental outdoor pieces by artists from 9 countries. It was expected
that 7 million people would visit Pier Walk '98 during its 6 month
duration.
The 1999 show had 115 sculptures and featured a piece over 100 feet
long by the celebrated English sculptor Sir Anthony Caro.
