Eye, also known as the Giant Eyeball, is a public sculpture of a blue eye in Dallas, Texas, in the city's Main Street District. The gated grounds around the sculpture, formerly home to the Praetorian Building and currently owned by The Joule Hotel, are used as a private event space.[1] It is located on 1601 Main Street and is made of fiberglass, resin, and steel detailed with oil paint.[2][3]

History

The sculpture was created by Tony Tasset in 2007 and is a replica of his own eye.[2][4] He says that there is no deep meaning behind the eye and that he wanted to create something that would be recognizable to many people.[5] It was originally displayed in Chicago's Jay Pritzker Pavilion in 2010 and briefly appeared in St. Louis' Laumeier Sculpture Park. Eye was moved to Dallas after it was bought by The Joule Hotel for its art collection in 2013, taking about a week and a half to construct.[3][6] Since then, it has been used as a centerpiece for private events and is the site of the Dallas Art Fair's ending party, The Eye Ball.[1]
