This cast bronze statue in East Washington Street commemorates the first American exhibition of Cows on Parade in Chicago in 1999. The idea was started by Walter Knapp in Switzerland in 1998. Local artists paint and decorate fibreglass cow statues which are exhibited around a city and then auctioned for charity. An adjacent plaque reads: 'In 1999 a heard of fiberglass cows united citizens, / visitors, artists and businesses through a unique / community-based public art event. This bronze / cow is a gift to all Chicagoans in gratitude for their / support of the cows and other art in public places. / A gift to the City of Chicago / from the Hanig Family / and anonymous donors. / November 2001 / Bronze Cow cast at Wagner Foundary, Inc., Chicago, IL.'.
