The design of Cloud Gate was created by Anish Kapoor an
artist came from London but born in India. In 2004 the Cloud Gate was fully
ready for the inaugurated of Millennium Park in 2004. The officials were eager
to show the 23 million dollars valuable sculpture to the public. But due to its
uncompleted structure official faced many critics because it was unpolished and
was looking uncompleted clearly. Kapoor was also unhappy with this as it was
unveiled to public in an unfinished state. Soon after the inauguration of park,
the sculpture was taken under wraps, not until it was completely finished in
2003. Now it became with a new magical appeal visible.
