We spent yesterday with our long-time client, Hilton Contemporary. Founder Arica Hilton brought "Monuments of Stillness”, the breathtaking collection of hyperrealist sculptures by the renowned Carole A. Feuerman, to Michigan Avenue.

Eight of the sculptures are on view along Chicago's Magnificent Mile with two more to come, from Oak Street to the Chicago River. Special thanks to the The Magnificent Mile as well as Beth Heller, for helping Hilton Contemporary make this possible.

This is the must-see art installation of the summer! Read the article in today's Tribune here:

The outdoor exhibition, titled “Monuments of Stillness,” is presented by Hilton Contemporary and consists of the figures of swimmers, created by New York artist Carole Feuerman.
