If public art displays of Chicago are of interest to you, be sure to add this masterpiece to the list. It makes an amazing addition to the Chicago's collection: Picasso, Miró, Calder’s...

The mosaic art was created by Russian-French artist Marc Chagall and donated to the City of Chicago by Frederick Prince. It is located on Dearborn Street, just south of Madison Avenue, originally in the plaza of The First national Bank of Chicago, now known as Chase Plaza.
The work was created in France, mounted on panels and brought to Chicago for final assembly in 1974. The artists was present during the dedication ceremony. It is alleged that the the mosaic panels have over thousand of chips and more than 250 colors. The four sides represent the four seasons in surrealistic and modernistic interpretation, with brilliant colors and elements of life. All the way until 1994, the artist was still involved in additions and modifications of panels and elements.
Being in the open air exposed to harsh Chicago weather elements, the mosaics showed the were and tear. In 1994 the works was restored and canopy built over it to protected.
Enjoy the plaza and art on the nice sunny day. Block or so north is a Picasso sculpture in the Daily Plaza, two birds with the same "mosaic"!

I walked by this mosaic a few times and didn't pay much attention until I read about it on TA.
Today I stopped and really looked at it. Very interesting and nicely protected from the elements by the city.

Just 3 blocks away from the Chicago Art Institute you find this amazing work from Marc Chagall. Two hole walls full with color and amazing images typical of Chagall

It can by difficult to find the location if you are not specifically looking for it. I went there in the morning, really cold and windy but worth it. The mosaic looked stunning in the early morning sunlight.

This is a beautiful mosaic by a very famous artist - but the best part of it is that it's in a totally unexpected place. Once I found it, I was trying to dodge skateboarders who may or may not have noticed it - and I can just imagine how cool it looks to have this in the background as they are filming their tricks. It's well worth a trip at night.

Chagall and the original Mayor Daley got along great. Chagall gave his magnificent stained glass windows to the Art Institute and also installed this mural at the entrance to the Bank Plaza.
Walk by it on your way to or from the Willis Tower.

Located on a Chase Bank's plaza, corner of Dearborn and Monroe, since 1972, the Chagall mosaic does the city proud and is one of several iconic public art pieces within a few blocks of each other along Dearborn Street. It's worth walking along Dearborn to discover and see a world unique collection of public sculpture and architecture.

One of the large scale artworks you can see around downtown is Marc Chagall's The Four Seasons (1974) on South Dearborn Street. This is a four-sided, rectangle shaped mosaic, making us of thousands of inlaid chips of over 250 different colours.
Seems Chagall designed and created the panels in France before having the transported and installed here at the Chase Tower Plaza in Chicago. You will see various objects in a surreal, dreamlike state blending in and out with what appear to parts of Chicago's skyline.
It is an interesting public artwork, worth seeing if you are spending time in The Loop and enjoy viewing art. If interested, you can view other large scale installations by the likes of Calder, Miro and Piscasso nearby as well.

Located in an unlikely and totally unexpected place, the Chase Tower Plaza, at 10 South Dearborn Street, The Four Seasons by Russian-French artist Marc Chagall is a series of mosaics that lyrically and colorfully celebrate the arrival of spring, summer, fall and winter. A gift to the City of Chicago by Frederick H. Prince of the Prince Charitable Trust, it is wrapped around four sides of a 70-feet-long, 14-feet-high and 10-feet-wide rectangular box. It was dedicated on September 27, 1974 and renovated in 1994 when the mosaic panels were restored and a protective canopy was installed. Best known as a painter, Chagall also produced ceramics, stained glass and mosaics. The Four Seasons represent human life, both physical and spiritual, at its different stages. The mosaic features 128 separate panels and 250 different colors, joined together with additional glass and stone fragments. Imagery includes birds, fish, flowers suns and lovers, all references to memories of simple, village life, interspersed with sunbursts and city skylines. Chagall also is well-known in Chicago for his America Windows, a series of large-scale stained-glass panels that were installed in the Art Institute of Chicago in 1977.
