“Eye” Sculpture by Tony Tasset

Created by contemporary artist Tony Tasset, Eye is a 30-foot-tall eyeball sculpture based on the artist’s own eye. The sculpture spent time in Chicago’s Pritzker Park until 2010 and spent a few years in Wisconsin before moving to Dallas in August 2013. Made from fiberglass, resin, oil paint and steel, Eye is a symbol of knowledge and power juxtaposed with the pop-culture notion of larger-than-life commercial advertising. Although surrounded by a fence in its home next to the Joule Hotel, downtown passersby can experience and photograph Eye for free.
