Affectionately known as "Disco Chicken " by area residents, the shimmering Firebird sculpture was installed in 2009, and stands at the entrance of the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art on Tryon Street. The statue stands over 17 feet tall and weighs over 1,400 pounds. The entire statue is covered from top to bottom in over 7,500 pieces of mirrored and colored glass. The piece was created in 1991 by French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle, and purchased by Andreas Bechtler specifically for placement at the front of the museum. n nIt has traveled from city to city on display, but Charlotte is its first permanent home. When Bechtler purchased the piece, he said that he wanted art he wanted, "not just an iconic piece, but also one people would enjoy.
