Hello.
The name of the sculpture is "The Touch of Jane Addams." The artist
is Louise Bourgeois.
The following descriptions matches what you saw:
"Arranged as a part of the new Jane Addams Memorial Park, this
sculpture was created by Louise Bourgeois. The sculpture consists of
six black granite pillars, each four feet tall, and topped with a
different type of human hand, ranging from that of a vulnerable child
to that of an able adult. Each hand was thoughtfully designed by the
Nobel prize-winning Addams who established the Hull House settlement
facility for new immigrants on the Near West Side in 1889."
