After sitting in Chicago’s Millennium Park for over a year, the gravity-defying curves of Mexican artist Yvonne Domenge’s sculpture “Tabachin Ribbon” (2010, above left) will be heading south to Fort Worth, trading the modernist surroundings of the Windy City’s downtown park for the more rugged Texas terrain.

Fort Worth’s Star-Telegram reports that the acquisition of the sculpture was approved by the Fort Worth Arts Commission, a donation estimated to be valued at $150,000, although it will still cost the city $60,000 to ship and install the 8,000-pound carbon steel sculpture, an expenditure that will have to be approved by the City Council.

Martha Peters, the Vice President of Public Art for the Arts Council of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, told the Star-Telegram that the director of Millennium Park decided to offer Fort Worth the sculpture after speaking at the 10th anniversary of the city’s Public Art program last year.

“Tabachin Ribbon” was installed at Millennium Park along with three other sculptures by Domenge in April 2011, and after the outdoor exhibition closes on October 21 they will disperse to cities around the United States. The name of the piece references the Tabachin trees found in Mexico and has interconnecting loops in organic shapes that, when assembled, reach to 13 feet in diameter.

It doesn’t yet have a permanent home in Fort Worth, but it is possible that it may be installed sometime in 2013 in a now drab downtown space in front of the municipal courts. The bold yellow sphere joins a public art collection including another round work, Philippe Klinefelter’s “Earth Fountain,” as well as a kinetic sculpture by George Rickey in City Hall, and a 50 foot tall aluminum silhouette of a man holding a briefcase by Jonathan Borofsky.
