“Because the All Star game was going to be at Sox Park, that [mosaic] was a rush job,†said Evan Glassman of Studio E in Chicago. “We completed it in three weeks. They were happy with the outcome, and now we're talking with the Illinois Sports Authority, which oversees Sox Park. We might do a piece for them inside the park.â€
The colors chosen for the mosaic were based on matching the White Sox team colors, explained Glassman. “We used polished and sandblasted Black Absolute, Cambrian Black, Bethel White and Blue Pearl granites,†he said. “The medallion was commissioned at the last minute to be completed for the 2003 All Star Game at Sox Park. We used broken black granite for the field to make it a little more expeditious. The logo was 1â„2- x 1â„2-inch granite pieces.â€
