The 10-Foot Red Giant: A Bright Boost for Milwaukee's Riverwalk with Richard

Take a gander at Milwaukee's Riverwalk and you'll spot a 10-foot red colossus, Richard Taylor's lively Rise Above, sprinkling a dash of crimson vibrance into the river's soothing serenity.

The football field of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, just got a whole lot brighter. Say hello to Rise Above the World, an eye-catching public art installation courtesy of artist Richard Taylor. Standing tall at 10 feet, this abstract skyscraper, a fiery red, is harder to ignore than a running back bursting through the line on game day. It's perched on the east bank of the Milwaukee River, right where Kilbourn Avenue kisses the river's edge. It's a splash of crimson amidst the otherwise chill Riverwalk, offering a lively trace of zest to the scene. Co-funded by the Riverwalk Business Improvement District, this towering 10-footer is as strong as the city it calls home.
