| book description |
A showcase of two hundred of the Art Institute of Chicago’s iconic works from around the world and across human time  From ancient Roman statuary and Chinese ceramics to medieval metalwork and contemporary paintings, Highlights of the Art Institute of Chicago presents two hundred of the museum’s signature works. Selected from a world-class collection of nearly 300,000 objects, this publication encompasses the full range of artistic media, spanning print, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, video, and cultural objects. An illustrated timeline explores the Art Institute’s rich history, contextualizing its architecture and foundational collections within the city.  Offering an exciting variety of perspectives, texts by the museum’s curators and by artists, architects, and specialists inspire readers to make new and unexpected connections among some of the world’s best-known works of art, such as Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, Grant Wood’s American Gothic, Georges Seurat’s Sunday on La Grande Jatte, and Katsushika Hokusai’s Great Wave. Readers will find answers to some of the Art Institute of Chicago’s most frequently asked questions about the Thorne Miniature Rooms, the many Stacks of Wheat painted by Claude Monet, and more.  Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago
