I am hoping someone can help me identify the stainless steel sculpture on Belle Isle next to the yacht club? Someone in Spain commented that it reminded him of an Eduardo Chillida sculpture.

you have a very impressive eye. rajdet. great portfolio.
Gazelle, my butt. Looks like the duct work in my attic.
Apologies to you artists out there.
I always liked that sculpture. I think it does quite a good and graceful job of echoing in a modern style the beautiful Marshall Fredricks gazelle sculpture elsewhere on the island.
Looks like a claw hammer that needs Cialis
Sorry artists - I don't see it. I have to agree with Ray.
I always thought it was a large number "5" half buried. Made me think of "The Count" on Sesame Street every time i saw it.
My friend always said it reminded him of the hammer/sickle....
It always looked like something that would appear on a Pink Floyd album cover to me.
A new name for Prince?
The picture with the land and blue sky behind it is beautiful.
Stunning, simply stunning...lol
I never noticed the thing.
I think it looks like the symbol for pi, leaning to the left, with it's right 'wing' bent over.
Hmmm, maybe I should be worried about myself . . .
Wish I could understand art more
Just because you dislike it doesn't change the fact that it is art. [[And no, I wouldn't say I'm an "art snob".)
For those who say they can't "see" the gazelle, look again at the pics Eastside Al posted. The metallic one does resemble the shape of the other gazelle rearing up with the horns back.

No, just because a 5 year old autistic child could do it makes it not art. I think I saw an elephant paint something like this with its trunk once. Any retard who knows how to weld can do this. That is what makes it not art. Just because someone with a snooty attitude can explain their "vision" does not make it art. I am sick of the its art because I said so crowd. they give us:
Piss Christ
or flash mobs as art.

Modern art has been around for over a hundred years. Good luck with ignoring all of it, dude.No, just because a 5 year old autistic child could do it makes it not art.

Every time I see that sculpture I think of the Russian sickle.
Well I don't know... I like it better than the Millenium Bell in GCP... which looks like a Swiss cow bell and makes me want to yell "REE-CO-LA"!!
