Head of David Lynch is a sculpture by Czech artist
The permanent steel sculpture was budgeted at $1,000,000 and stands 21' tall. The sculpture is made of several rotating strips that either form abstract images or Lynch.[2] The sculpture rotates twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and is virtually silent.[2]
The sculpture resides in front of the 1550 Lincoln apartment complex. The property was developed by NMS Properties under a provision by the city government that 2% of the construction costs of all new developments must be put towards public art.[3][4]
The sculpture resembles Černý's rotating sculpture, Head of Franz Kafka. Černý chose Lynch because Černý almost became a filmmaker and Lynch's work deeply moved him.[2]
