The mother ship | Chicago
Since I’ve spent the last 15 years passing out Wrigley’s gum, I’ve always kind of considered the wondrous Wrigley headquarters on Michigan Avenue in Chicago as the “mother ship” (upcoming Mars sale notwithstanding). This is a wonderful pen and ink, pencil and watercolor piece (titled “Michigan Avenue Bridge”) by Elizabeth Ockwell, that was featured in a 2004 show in the ArchiTech Gallery in Chicago called “Big City: A Chicago Album.”
If you click on the above title of the show for a link, you’ll also find more images from the show, including this great photograph (a gelatin silver print from 2000) of the Wrigley by Alex Fradkin:
