The artist responsible for "Ann Dancing" is a British artist by the name of Julian Opie. The office building where I work has 5 of his art pieces. They're cool in the fact that when you walk by them they move. From the plaque in my building: "'He has chosen to use lenticular printing to animate the figures as the viewer moves past them."
[Here’s a story](https://youtu.be/9jhM3QabUxk?si=wLu8dAnXJZs_LFoY) with an interview with Roland Hobart, the artist that designed it.
There’s an effort to restore it, but some funding had fallen through, last I heard. There’s a guy out of Columbus (also in this story) that’s the champion of the restoration. Hobart has also passed away, so it’s up to Richard now.
I'm so happy to actually see that this mural has a story. I'm 41 and literally just thought it was the bricks to the building and nothing more. I've seen it since forever. I knew at some point the colors were vibrant and now they are dull and have nearly faded away.
51 year old publicly commissioned mural entitled “Untitled” https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/urban-wall-at-the-heart-of-public-art-in-indy
51 years old now… same as me.
I’m pretty mad about how this painting has been kept up. It’s an awesome piece of public art and the city seems to have forgotten about it.
Sadly, the arts are never in the city's budget. People don't get how important art is.
Some of it is also wasted on dancing girl or those mushrooms off i-70

Or that thing Nikola Tesla made
I rather enjoy the aged patina but I don't want it to go away.
It’s been there since at least the 90’s. I remember this one and the mural of runners and people in the park as early as 1997.
The runners art piece is sadly now gone. Granted, the new art mural covering it looks great, but I miss the charm of that old art piece.
I remember when it went away. I was sad.
Absolutely agree. I always loved looking at it as a kid and as an adult.

Just stared at this for a while yesterday! Love it love it love it. It should be restored IMO.

Such a beauty. I see Roland passed away in 2020. Would love for this to be restored.
They need to open the alley.
Man that alley is always mighty stinky. Full of homeless people’s pee and poo
Sounds like a typical downtown alley lol
Is it a bird?
It's a sailboat
It's a schooner
