Angel in a Cage
Angel in a Cage is a public artwork by American artist Richard Pflieger located on Canal Street, which is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States.A committee of local expert artists was formed to judge the student sculptures as well as an advisory group of Peck employees to help in deciding the winning design.The artist's inspiration came from the many fences throughout the Menomonee Valley in contrast with the numerous shrines with angels in the back yards of the Milwaukee south side homes.Pflieger took almost two years to complete this sculpture which still towers today now in front of Emmber Foods Incorporated on Canal Street in Menomonee Valley.This structure is a great example of cooperative effort of both public education and private business which has the power to create outdoor artwork installations.
