== Life and career ==
Mike Baur (born 1951) Is an American sculpture known for his architectural scale concrete and steel public sculptures, but is also prolific in smaller scale works, exploiting all available materials he can work with his hands with methods more common to construction sites than an art studio.<ref name="artner,alan">Artner, Alan. "The year's best art exhibitions." Chicago Tribune, January 1, 1989.</ref> <ref name="Crain">Crain's Chicago Business. "Zaks Gallery." April 11, 1988.</ref> Described by [[Chicago Tribune]] writer Alan Artner; “(Baur) has a strength and authority that is rare among Chicago sculptors.” From the same article, Artner states: “The look of each piece is determinedly industrial without suggesting any idealization, criticism of function…giving pleasure through persuasive juxtapositions of form, surface and color.”<ref name="Artner,Alan G">Artner, Alan G.
