    Remarks: 
    Chagall donated his design for this piece to the people of Chicago. The cost of erecting the work and maintaining the work for forty years was met by Art in the Center, through gifts of Mr. & Mrs. Prince to the Prince Foundation. Chagall signed his name in mosaic tile six times around the piece.
