The Art Institute of Chicago/ AIC offers something a little different, a little unusual – “Rarely Seen Contemporary Works on Paper“.
“This exhibition brings together nearly 100 of these highly popular contemporary works on paper, many of which have not been seen in our galleries in years (or ever)…”
“…Harlem Renaissance artist Romare Bearden’s iconic collage, The Return of Odysseus (Homage to Pintoricchio and Benin), makes a rare and welcome appearance, given that it is not often exhibited due to its fugitive materials—cut and pasted papers, graphite, and touches of black and gray wash. Also included are multiple works by Carroll Dunham, Martin Kippenberger, and Ed Ruscha, some being exhibited for the first time in Chicago.”
Rarely Seen Contemporary Works on Paper until January 13, 2013
