Giant Chicken sculpture by Katharina Fritsch

Chicken sculpture by Katharina Fritsch in Minneapolis
The sculpture “Hahn/Cock” by Katharina Fritsch, illuminated at night outside the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. The ultramarine rooster, cast in fiberglass and steel, stands on a concrete plinth overlooking Hennepin Avenue and Interstate 94. Installed in 2017 as part of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden redesign, the piece contrasts sharply against the warm façade of the Basilica of St. Mary and the light trails of evening traffic below.
