Cloud Gate, by Anish Kapoor (2004) in Millennium Park Chicago, Illinois

…in Hartlepool!

The Turner prize-winning artist Anish Kapoor is to create one of the world’s biggest sculptures by creating a space-age pedestrian bridge over the town’s harbour.

The steel structure, partially inspired by his earlier Cloud Gate for the city of Chicago (pictured), will span 520ft and is expected to have a highly polished surface that reflects its surroundings.

No visuals exist as yet but more details after the jump
