Eye is a realistic three dimensional recreation of a human eyeball. The large scale of the sculpture strives to change the everyday experience by miniaturizing its surroundings as well creating a spectacle which provides a photo op experience for visitors to its home. Inspired by the eye as a universal symbol, typically associated with knowledge, power, and God, Tasset's Eye is constantly on watch. By focusing on a key part of the body, Tasset speaks to a commonality among us. Influenced in part by popular bigger-than-life roadside advertisements and signage that line the roads of America, Eye addresses how we engage and perceive each other while concurrently asserting a prophetic, perhaps even omniscient, presence.

Tony Tasset’s work was featured in the 2014 Whitney Biennial of American Art and is included in the permanent collections of the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Museum of Art, and several other important institutions. Tasset has received the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Award and the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation award, among others. His large-scale sculptures dot the landscape of dozens of America’s beloved public spaces, including the Art Trail at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the lot of Sony Pictures Studios in California, and public plazas in Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Dallas, and many other cities. Tasset is an emeritus professor at University of Illinois- Chicago.
