but it has nothing to do with the players. Sky Mirror, a 35-foot diameter circle of polished steel, had a price tag of $10 million. Jones and his wife, Gene, had it brought to Arlington from the modern art museum in Sydney, Australia.
Including its granite pedestal, it stands as tall as a three-story house and weighs 23 tons. Sky Mirror, by artist Anish Kapoor, welcomes crowds entering into the east plaza and is the most expensive addition to the Dallas Cowboys Art Collection.
Reflections in the concave mirror are upside down and give viewers the sense that they are falling into the piece. A new perspective is formed as certain items in the background seem to project forward and the clouds recede.
Kapoor is most well-known for his piece in Chicago, Cloud Gate, commonly referred to as "The Bean." Sky Mirror is surrounded by water, but from the back of the sculpture, crowds of fans can catch a reflection of themselves.
