Spring, especially in River North, means Artropolis is in the air.  It's the best sign of spring, seeing Art Chicago, Next Art Fair, and Antiques Art Fair banners up and about.  Across from my favorite coffee  wine and sandwich shop, the south lobby of the Mart is now host to a 24' original fiberglass sculpture, Buckminister Fuller's Fly's - Eye Dome.  It was originally conceived as a living quarters which could harness wind and solar energy.  Created in 1977, this is the only 24' dome Fuller produced. Final touches are being applied today.
