Chicago is a city that's filled with amazing public art, but we can't help but daydream about new installations that could be enjoyed by millions of people. As much as we love the Bean and Alexander Calder’s Flamingo, sometimes we're in the mood for something new and fresh. We asked Time Out Chicago readers to tell us about the kind of public art they’d really like to see in the city.
