Measuring one hundred feet high, one hundred feet wide, and sixty feet deep, the award-winning Ghost Ballet steel sculpture brought national attention to the city of Nashville when it was completed in 2007. That year, the sculpture was selected for Art in America Annual Guide to Galleries, Museums, and Artists as one of the top pieces of public art in the nation and appeared in Sculpture, Public Art Review, and Art in America magazines. Major sculptor and conceptual artist Alice Aycock (1946-) was commissioned to create a work that focused attention on the Cumberland River alongside the sculpture and foster a collective memory of the area. Aycock describes her work as static animation, seeming to change and dance as one moves around it, perceptually extending Broadway and tying it to the greater environment along the Cumberland.
