Polyphony II

Austrian sculptor Egon Weiner (1906-1987) created Polyphony II to symbolize the rhythm and motion of a conductor’s baton as he directs an orchestra. Made of bronze, the 12-foot sculpture was dedicated November 1, 1965, on the plaza level of Marina City, just above the ice skating rink.

About 20 people attended the dedication ceremony, including Weiner (left in photo), Rep. Frank Annunzio (1915-2001, right in photo), and city planning commissioner Ira Bach.
