Little Bean
Rochester, Minnesota
2026

This sculpture is actually kind of long and skinny, sort of like a stretched out teardrop shape laying down on it’s side. This is the big end of it. I looked all around but couldn’t find a plaque or anything listing the name of the sculpture, so I call it Little Bean as I don’t think anyone who’s seen Chicago’s famous “bean” sculpture (formally know as Cloud Gate) can help but say or at least think, “oh, the bean” when first coming across this chrome shape in Rochester. I know that was true for both the Fashion Queen and I.
