This painting -- "The Red Tower," by Robert Delaunay -- hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago, which is in within walking distance of the Sears Tower. Delaunay uses the collapse of the Eiffel Tower as a symbol for war's destruction. I've always considered this one of the finest cubist works, even though I've seen it only in reproduction. I'd love to see it "in the paint" -- but I don't expect to.  Posted by Hello

Yes, especially considering what you expect will happen to everything within walking distance of the Sears Tower....
