Illinois Landscape No. 5 by John Henry-1976
The Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park is located in the south suburbs in University Park, Illinois and is such a gem!
It's set on several acres of rolling prairie about 30 miles south of Chicago on the campus of Governors State University in University Park, Illinois. Founded by Nathan Manilow, (who also founded the planned community of Park Forest) and filled with works by prominent artists such as Mark diSuvero, Bruce Nauman, and Martin Puryear along with many others. The monumental pieces are placed along meandering paths that wind through native prairie plantings. The park is open year round and tours are available-my most memorable visit was just after a heavy snowfall - magical.
Please take a look at the website and then plan a visit. You just have to come here if you get the chance-you won't be sorry.
