In 1967, a newcomer arrived in the courtyard of the Chicago Civic Center (now Daley Plaza). At the time, the large metal sculpture commissioned from Pablo Picasso was met largely with criticism and confusion. Over the years, the untitled sculpture's place in the cultural, social, and political landscapes of Chicago has shifted. These clips, taken from the Media Burn Archive, give a variety of perspectives and interpretations of the Chicago Picasso.
