2025 Star Ornament

The 2025 Star Ornament is informed by a fabulous staircase (1893) originally designed for the Chicago Stock Exchange building. The vision of Louis Henry Sullivan (American, 1856–1924) and Dankmar Adler (American, 1844–1900), leading figures of the Chicago School style of architecture from which the towering building type known as the skyscraper emerge.

The staircase boasts extraordinary ironwork in the way of geometric and naturalistic forms exemplary of Sullivan's mature aesthetic. He likewise echoed similar motifs throughout the rest of the building. The staircase was removed from the Stock Exchange when it was demolished in 1972, and is now installed in The Met's Charles Engelhard Court.
