From the Director
Dear Member,
This fall at the Art Institute our exhibitions and programs
are a testament to the extraordinary partnerships and
relationships we enjoy here at the museum. These collaborations make it possible for us to continuously expand
and refine not only our permanent collection but our
understanding of the collection as well.
A signal example is Strokes of Genius: Italian
Drawings from the Goldman Collection. The selection
of Mannerist and early Baroque works from the private
collection of Chicagoans Jean and Steven Goldman is but
the latest chapter in a decades-long relationship between
the Goldmans and the Art Institute. Showcasing their
collection—including their generous promised gifts to
the museum—allows us to present a full and rich story of
Italian drawing in which our mutual holdings engage
in creative conversation.
Often our collaborations allow us to exhibit works
here at the museum that are rarely, if ever, seen in the
United States. Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from
Greek Collections brings to Chicago more than 60 works
from Greek national museums, many of which have never
been displayed outside Greece. The exhibition represents
a truly international effort: organized by the Hellenic
Ministry of Culture and Sports, with the collaboration
of the Benaki Museum in Athens, the exhibition has
also benefited greatly from the participation of the
National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and the
J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
Finally, we will be opening a provocative exhibition
on the American city and the role that photographers, artists, filmmakers, activists, and planners played in urban
revitalization in the 1960s and 1970s. Organized with
the Princeton University Art Museum and including loans
from more than 30 other collections around the country,
The City Lost and Found is a presentation that would not
be possible without our sustained connections to sister
institutions, scholars, and collectors.
I invite you this fall to come and enjoy the fruits of
our partnerships as we continue to bring the world to our
home here on Michigan Avenue.
EVERY PLAN HAS AN
FACTOR.

Strokes of Genius
Italian Drawings from the Goldman Collection
NOVEMBER 1–FEBRUARY 1
GALLERIES 124–127
Focusing on the periods of Mannerism and the early Baroque, Strokes of Genius showcases over
80 masterpieces of Italian draftsmanship selected from the collection of Chicagoans Jean and
Steven Goldman, including nearly 60 drawings never before seen in public. Recent acquisitions
of works, ranging from a figure study by Baccio Bandinelli to a composition drawing by Salvator
Rosa, are shown with two dozen significant drawings from the Goldmans’ original collection,
including masterpieces by Pietro da Cortona, the Carracci, and Francesco Salviati. The exhibition,
which features many of the Goldmans’ promised gifts to the Art Institute, also includes about 20
related works from the museum’s prints and drawings collection that provide greater historical
context for this prodigious era of Italian art.
The exhibition focuses on “The Art of Composition” by
displaying drawings from the late 15th to the mid-17th
century according to their intended function. Organized
by drawing type––figures, head studies, and compositional drawings––Strokes of Genius invites viewers to
compare the use of media and technique in each category.
Most were executed as working drawings to develop
compositions for paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts.
Unique to this collection is the unusual opportunity to
display more than one study for a single project; the multiple preparatory sheets for one commission allow viewers
to witness the thought process of the artist as he searches
for his form, rejecting and changing ideas. Two sheets
by Francesco Vanni (1563–1610) for The Coronation of
the Virgin, created for the Chiesa del Santuccio in Siena
between 1610 and 1614, beautifully illustrate this process.
In addition to working drawings, the exhibition
includes meticulously finished virtuoso presentation renderings that were executed as works of art in their own
right, including a set of the Four Evangelists by Guercino
(1591?–1666). The increasing demand for presenta-
tion drawings reflects the value placed on drawing as
its own medium, capable of conveying artistic genius
and worthy of collecting for its singular merits. In addition to well-known artists of the period, the exhibition
includes a number of stellar works by masters who were
once deemed minor, but have since been reconsidered by
scholars.
An exhibition catalogue, prepared by independent
scholars Jean Goldman and Nicolas Schwed, includes
essays situating the collection within the context of
Mannerism and examining the role of drawing in the
business of art. In conjunction with the exhibition, the Art
Institute will host an international symposium on Friday,
October 31, titled “The Role of the Itinerant Artist in the
Dissemination of Romanism in the 16th Century.”
The symposium for Strokes of Genius: Italian Drawings from the Goldman
Collection is supported by the Wolfgang Ratjen Foundation with additional
support from Christie’s.

Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek
Collections presents 63 superb artworks from the early
Christian and Byzantine eras in the Mary and Michael
Jaharis Galleries of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Art.
Originally exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in
Washington, DC, and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los
Angeles, the exhibition represents major artistic holdings
from Greece—many of which have never been exhibited
outside that country—consisting of shimmering mosaics,
architectural fragments, manuscripts, luxury glass, silver,
personal adornments, liturgical textiles, and painted icons.
The Art Institute’s display offers a selection of exceptional
works from the original exhibition, including the debut of
the 14th-century Icon of Saint Prokopios.
For over 1,000 years, Greece was part of the vast
Byzantine Empire, established in 330 a.d. by the emperor Constantine, who moved the capital of the Roman
Empire eastwards to a small town named Byzantium
in modern-day Turkey. Renamed and transformed into
Constantinople, Byzantium would later lend its name to
an empire of splendor and power that endured for more
than a millennium. Greek replaced Latin as the language
of the empire, and Greece itself was home to important
centers of theology, scholarship, and artistic production.
Heaven and Earth explores the rich legacy of the
Byzantine Empire through five main themes: the transition
from the Classical to the Byzantine world, spiritual life,
intellectual life, the pleasures of life, and crosscurrents
between East and West during the final days of the empire
in the 15th century.
Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections was organized by
the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports, Athens, with the collaboration of
the Benaki Museum, Athens, and in association with the National Gallery of Art,
Washington, DC, and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
Major funding for Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections has
been provided by the Jaharis Family Foundation, Inc. Additional support has been
provided by the Stratis family, Charlotte Vern Olson, and Karen and Walter Alexander.
The exhibition’s US tour is made possible through OPAP S.A.’s major funding.
Financial support is also provided by the A.G. Leventis Foundation.

BLUHM FAMILY TERRACE
OCTOBER 26–JANUARY 11
GALLERIES 283–285
This October, the Art Institute of Chicago presents Tony
Smith’s extraordinary Wall on the Bluhm Family Terrace.
Spanning 18 feet in length and eight feet in height,
the monumental work is an iconic example of early
Minimalist sculpture. Smith (1912–1980) made more
than 50 large-scale sculptures in the final two decades
of his life. With their geometric forms and distinctive
black finish, they represent a landmark achievement in
American sculpture.
After exploring painting in the 1930s, Smith worked
as an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright and supported
himself as an architect for more than 20 years, during
which time he eventually returned to painting. Smith did
not dedicate himself to making sculpture, however, until
the 1960s, producing his first mature works in 1962.
In 1963 Smith created The Elevens Are Up, a painted
steel sculpture comprised of two units—perfect eight-foot
squares—that stand facing each other, four feet apart.
After fabricating a maquette for The Elevens Are Up, the
artist decided to place the two masses end-to-end, simulating one long, solid object. This arrangement inspired Wall.
Using the Golden Ratio—a classic mathematical relationship used by architects and artists for its aesthetically
pleasing proportions—Smith extended Wall to a total
length of 18 feet. Transforming the two eight-foot-long
squares of The Elevens Are Up, Wall became, as Smith
said, “a square plus its Golden sections.”
This exhibition is organized by the Art Institute of Chicago with major funding from
the Bluhm Family Endowment Fund, which supports exhibitions of modern and
contemporary sculpture.

The American city of the 1960s and 1970s experienced
seismic physical changes and social transformations, from
urban decay and political protests to massive highways
that threatened vibrant neighborhoods. Nowhere was this
sense of crisis more evident than in the country’s three
largest cities: New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Yet
in this climate of uncertainty and upheaval, the streets
and neighborhoods of these cities offered places where
a host of different actors—photographers, artists, filmmakers, planners, and activists—could transform these
conditions of crisis into opportunities for civic discourse
and creative expression.
The City Lost and Found is the first exhibition to
explore this seminal period through the emergence of new
photographic and cinematic practices that reached from
the art world to the pages of Life magazine. Instead of
aerial views and sweeping panoramas, photographers and
filmmakers turned to in-depth studies of streets, pedestrian

life, neighborhoods, and seminal urban
events, like Bruce Davidson’s two-year
study of a single block in Harlem, East
100th Street (1966–68). These new forms
of photography offered the public a complex image of urban life and experience
while also allowing architects, planners,
and journalists to imagine and propose
new futures for American cities.
Drawn from the Art Institute’s holdings,
as well as from more than 30 collections
across the United States, this exhibition
brings together a large range of media,
from slideshows and planning documents
to photo collages and artist books. The
City Lost and Found showcases important
bodies of work by renowned photographers
and photojournalists such as Thomas
Struth, Martha Rosler, and Barton
Silverman, along with artists known for their profound
connections to place, such as Romare Bearden in New
York and ASCO in Los Angeles. In addition, projects like
artist Allan Kaprow’s Chicago happening, Moving,
and architect Shadrach Wood’s hybrid plan for SoHo
demonstrate how photography and film were used in unconventional ways to make critical statements about the
stakes of urban change. Blurring traditional boundaries
between artists, activists, planners, and journalists, The
City Lost and Found offers an unprecedented opportunity
to experience the deep interconnections between art
practices and the political, social, and geographic realities
of American cities in the 1960s and 1970s.
The City Lost and Found: Capturing New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles,
1960–1980 is organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and the Princeton
University Art Museum.

Two Americans in Paris
Sarah Charlesworth
Stuart Davis and Grant Wood
Stills
Through November 2, 2014
SEPTEMBER 18–JANUARY 4
GALLERY 188
In February 1980, artist Sarah Charlesworth (1947–2013)
exhibited a group of seven cropped and greatly enlarged
news photographs in the East Village apartment of fledgling
dealer Tony Shafrazi. Each pictured a solitary individual
jumping or falling from a tall building. With these pieces,
Charlesworth married the dry reserve of Conceptual Art
to works of high drama. Stills helped to define a movement in American art that remains among the most influential of the last 40 years: the Pictures Generation.
Charlesworth never again exhibited these works as a
group, and others she had prepared for enlargement were
left unfinished. In 2012 the artist created a single artist
proof edition of the complete series of 14 photographs—
six of them never before shown—especially for the Art
Institute. The 78-inch-tall prints were made chemically
from the original negatives with Charlesworth carefully replicating the appearance of that first set. This exhibition
of the complete series is the first US museum solo show
of Charlesworth’s work in 15 years.
On September 17, artists Laurie Simmons, Sara
VanDerBeek, and Liz Deschenes will discuss the work of
Charlesworth with activist Kate Linker. The exhibition and
discussion are part of Photography Is ____________ ,
a nine-month celebration of photography at the Art
Institute that includes pop-up gallery talks, online events,
and presentations of the museum’s most treasured recent
acquisitions in photography. Learn more on page 33.
Lead sponsorship for this exhibition and publication has been generously provided

focus: Lucy McKenzie
OCTOBER 23–JANUARY 18
GALLERIES 182–184
In her work, Scottish-born, Belgium-based artist Lucy
McKenzie mines and merges source material from the realms
of political and design history, advertising and architecture,
fandom and friendship. Specially trained in the commercial
techniques of decorative painting, her primary mode is
trompe l’oeil (literally, “deceive the eye”). She renders still
lifes and lived spaces in such meticulous detail that specific
content cannot be separated from the casually theatrical
qualities of its formal presentation. Yet McKenzie’s
practice is also crucially collaborative and interdisciplinary.
The paintings operate in parallel with ongoing projects that
engage other media, from writing to film to the design of
clothing and interiors.
McKenzie creates environments, scenes, and stylistic
contexts as much as individual artworks. For this exhibition—her largest in the United States to date—she has
re-imagined the Art Institute’s Abbott Galleries variously
as a dynamic shop window, an airy “Expo Hall,” and an
intimate artist’s studio. Twelve new paintings made for
the museum will be augmented by four early canvases,
as well as archival materials from McKenzie’s adolescent
and student years. Similarly, a recent video installation
breaks new ground for the artist as it marks a return to
earlier work, renewing a past collaboration with photographer and filmmaker Richard Kern first initiated when
McKenzie was a teenager.
While the appropriation of preexisting objects,
imagery, and formats has always been fundamental to
her work, McKenzie developed the Art Institute exhibition
as a way to analyze the implications and possibilities of
self-appropriation. In her words, “Thinking about how
the access to and consumption of images has changed
in recent years, I wanted to re-examine my relationship
to appropriation. Every quote is an acquisitive, colonizing
act, so how can one appropriate without inherent exploitation? By appropriating oneself?” The artist does not
simply create in an echo chamber, however. Her work
is personal yet open, demanding but inviting. McKenzie
invests in anachronistic, craft-based techniques to rich
and radical effect, not only illuminating what she calls
“an alternative history of painting,” but, in fact, extending it.
Embrace the unexpected.

Photography Is
The New Chairman
of the Board of Trustees
You fill in the blank. From press pictures to artist’s books,
tiny daguerreotypes to monumental inkjets, anonymous
snapshots to celebrity portraits, Chicago architecture to
scenes set in Mali or Japan, the photographic takes many
forms, has many uses, and is at home around the world.
It can be nearly anything, anywhere. And photographs
can hold an incompatible variety of meanings, depending
on the knowledge we bring to them.
Forty years ago, in November 1974, the Department
of Photography was established at the Art Institute of
Chicago. Five years ago the Modern Wing opened, with
a new gallery for photographs named in honor of Carolyn
S. and Matthew Bucksbaum. To mark these two anniversaries, Photography has planned nine months of live
and online events and a series of exhibitions drawn from
the very best of our recent acquisitions for the permanent
collection.
The season begins with the opening of Sarah
Charlesworth: Stills on September 18, then continues
with a brand-new reinstallation in the Allerton Building
photography galleries that opens in two parts: October
The Art Institute of Chicago is pleased to
announce the election of Robert M. Levy
as the organization’s new chairman of
the Board of Trustees. Levy will replace
Thomas J. Pritzker as the leader of the
governing body of both the School of the
Art Institute of Chicago and the museum of the Art Institute. Pritzker, who
has served two terms, or eight years, as
chairman, has been a trustee of the Art
Institute since 1988 and will remain on
the Board. Levy, who has been a trustee
of the Art Institute since 2009, will take
over as chair when Pritzker’s term ends
in November.
Levy is partner, chairman, and chief
investment officer for US Equities at
Harris Associates L.P., an investment
firm with approximately $125 billion in
assets under management. He has been
with the firm since 1985. He has also
been a long-standing and committed supporter of the museum, most recently as a
vice chair of the board and chairman of
the Sustaining Fellows. Levy also serves
on many Art Institute Board committees,
and he and his wife, Diane, are naming
donors of the Diane v.S. and Robert M.
Levy Gallery in the Modern Wing.

A season of events celebrating photography
at the Art Institute of Chicago
Andrew W. Mellon Summer Academy
June marked the inaugural Andrew W. Mellon Summer Academy at the Art Institute of
Chicago where 15 undergraduate students from 10 colleges gained an immersive experience in curatorial practice. Students learned about the collaborative nature of curating
through behind-the-scenes tours of conservation and curatorial departments, museum
education workshops, off-site field trips, and networking events with museum trustees
and private collectors. Two students will be selected from the Summer Academy for a
two-year fellowship that includes mentorship during the academic year and two fully
funded summer internships. The Summer Academy is part of a pilot project funded by
the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation that encourages students from underrepresented
backgrounds to pursue museum careers in the curatorial profession. Five American
museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, hosted the Summer Academy in 2014
and 2015. For more information, please visit www.artic.edu/mellon.
Illinois Public Museum Capital Grants Program
In the last two years, the Art Institute of Chicago has received major capital investments from the Illinois Public Museum Capital Grants Program. Administered by
the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, these grants help Illinois museums upgrade their facilities and create new exhibitions. Two years ago, the museum received
funding to improve environmental control and replace carpeting. In June, the office
of Governor Pat Quinn announced additional funding toward new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems; further funded work includes tuckpointing and
waterproofing, as well as upgraded security systems.
“These investments will help museums attract even more visitors, boost tourism, create hundreds of jobs, and help preserve our history for generations to come,”
Governor Quinn said. The Art Institute of Chicago was one of 47 museums to
receive a capital grant in 2014, with grants totaling $20 million across the state.
11 and November 1. Treasures from across the history of
photography, including a 45-foot-long “riot of modernism” wall, will fill Gallery 10, around the base of the main
staircase. Rooms devoted to postwar and contemporary art
by Giulio Paolini, James Welling, and Moyra Davey will
occupy galleries 1–4. Gallery talks, lectures, and web-based
presentations run throughout the fall, winter, and spring.
In May 2015 the season will close with the first
annual Hugh Edwards Lecture in Photography, made
possible by the Crossed Purposes Foundation. Renowned
photographer Wolfgang Tillmans will be the inaugural
speaker. A figure of ever more widely acknowledged
importance, Tillmans has recently had significant
presentations of his work at the Philadelphia Art
Museum; the Hermitage, St. Petersburg; and the Beyeler
Foundation, Basel. To learn more about the full ninemonth celebration, visit us at artic.edu/photography-is.
The season is made possible by the generous support of the Black Dog Fund and
Stuart Family Fund.
