Introduction

The Art Institute of Chicago (opens new window)'s API provides JSON-formatted data as a REST-style service that allows developers to explore and integrate the museum’s public data into their projects. This API is the same tool that powers our website (opens new window), our mobile app (opens new window), and many other technologies in the museum.

If the application you're building will be public, please send it our way! We'd love to share it alongside some of the other projects that use our API (opens new window). And if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us: engineering@artic.edu.

Quick Start

An API (opens new window) is a structured way that one software application can talk to another. APIs power much of the software we use today, from the apps on our phones and watches to technology we see in sports and TV shows. We have built an API to let people like you easily get our data in an ongoing way.

TIP

Do you want all of our data? Are you running into problems with throttling or deep pagination? Consider using our data dumps instead of our API.

For example, you can access the /artworks listing endpoint in our API by visiting the following URL to see all the published artworks in our collection:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks

If you want to see data for just one artwork, you can use the /artworks/{id} detail endpoint. For example, here's Starry Night and the Astronauts (opens new window) by Alma Thomas:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/129884

When you view these URLs in your browser, you might see a jumbled bunch of text. That's OK! If you're using Chrome, install the JSON Formatter extension (opens new window), hit reload, and the results will be formatted in a way humans can read, too.

There is a lot of data you'll get for each artwork. If you want to only retrieve a certain set of fields, change the fields parameter in the query to list which ones you want, like this:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks?fields=id,title,artist_display,date_display,main_reference_number

TIP

The fields parameter expects either an array of field names, or a comma-separated list of field names in a single string (e.g. example above). We encourage you to use it because it makes your queries run faster and lets us track which fields need continued support.

You can paginate through results using page and limit params:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks?page=2&limit=100

If you want to search and filter the results, you can do so via our search endpoints. For example, here is a full-text search (opens new window) for all artworks whose metadata contains some mention of cats:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?q=cats

Here is the same search, but filtered to only show artworks that are in the public domain:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?q=cats&query[term][is_public_domain]=true

Behind the scenes, our search is powered by Elasticsearch (opens new window). You can use its Query DSL (opens new window) to interact with our API. The example above uses a term (opens new window) query. Other queries we use often include exists (opens new window) and bool (opens new window). Aggregations (opens new window) are also a powerful tool.

Our API accepts queries through both GET and POST. It might be easier to visualize how the GET query above is structured by comparing it to its POST equivallent:

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "q": "cats",
    "query": {
        "term": {
            "is_public_domain": true
        }
    }
}'

For production use, we recommend using GET and passing the entire query as minified URL-encoded JSON via the params parameter. For example:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?params=%7B%22q%22%3A%22cats%22%2C%22query%22%3A%7B%22term%22%3A%7B%22is_public_domain%22%3Atrue%7D%7D%7D

WARNING

Our API is flexible in how it accepts queries, but each method of querying is meant for a specific purpose. Use GET for simple queries, and use POST when you have complex payloads to submit with your query.

There's a lot of information you can get about our collection, and there's a lot more than artworks in our API. Explore our documentation to learn more!

Conventions

• We refer to models in our API as "resources" (e.g. artworks, artists, places)

• Resources are typically accessed via their endpoints. Each resource has three endpoints:

  • Listing (e.g. /artworks)
  • Detail (e.g. /artworks/{id})
  • Search (e.g. /artworks/search) (optional)

  Some resources might lack a search endpoint if there appears to be no need for it yet.

• Multi-word endpoints are hyphenated (e.g. /tour-stop).

• All field names are lowercase and snake case (underscore case).

• Every resource in the API has id and title fields.

• Fields that contain a single id reference to another resource are singular and end with _id:

  "artist_id": 51349,
  

• Fields that contain id references to multiple records from another resource are singular and end with _ids:

  "style_ids": ["TM-4439", "TM-8542", "TM-4441"],
  

• Fields that contain title references to records from other resources follow naming conventions similar to id-based fields:

  "artist_title": "Ancient Roman",
  "classification_titles": ["modern and contemporary art", "painting"],
  

• Every title-based field has a keyword subfield in Elasticsearch, which is meant for filters and aggregations. See "New defaults" section in this article (opens new window) for more info.

• Numeric and boolean fields get parsed into actual numbers and booleans:

  "artwork_id": "45", // BAD
  "date_start": 1942, // GOOD
  
  "is_preferred": "True", // BAD
  "is_in_gallery": true, // GOOD
  

• We never show any empty strings in the API. We only show null:

  "date_display": "", // BAD
  "artist_display": null, // GOOD
  

• We prefer to always show all fields, even if they are null for the current record:

  • If a field that typically returns a string, number, or object is empty for a given record, we return it as null, rather than omitting it.

  • If a field typically returns an array, we prefer to return an empty array, rather than returning null. This is done in part for backwards-compatibility reasons.

Best Practices

Here are some tips that will make your application run faster and/or reduce load on our systems:

• Cache API responses in your system when possible.

• Use the fields parameter to tell us exactly what fields you need.

• Batch detail queries with the multi-id parameter (?ids=).

• Batch search queries with multi-search (/msearch).

• When downloading images, use /full/843,/0/default.jpg parameters.

• When scraping, please use a single thread and self-throttle.

• Consider using data dumps instead of scraping our API.

Data Dumps

You can download a dump that contains all of our public data here:

https://github.com/art-institute-of-chicago/api-data (opens new window)

These data dumps are updated nightly. They are generated from our API. As such, they contain the same data as our API, and their schema mirrors that of the API. The data is dumped in JSON format, with one JSON file per record. Records are grouped by API resource type.

Our intention with this approach is to make it easier to adapt code to draw from the data dumps instead of the API, and vice-versa. Since the schema is the same, switching between the two should be relatively straight-forward.

If you notice schema discrepancies between the data dumps and the API, or if you need help with using our data dumps, please open an issue (opens new window) in the api-data repo.

Data Dumps vs. API?

We recommend using the data dumps for scenarios such as the following:

• You want to have a full copy of our data for archival purposes.
• You want to scrape a large result set (>10,000 records).
• You want to analyze or enhance our data.

Use our API if the following fits your use case:

• You want to integrate our data into a website or application.
• You need real-time access to our data.

Scraping Data

Generally, we ask that you avoid extensive scraping of our API. The API is meant for direct integration into websites and applications. The data dumps are meant for backups and analysis. Scraping our API puts undue stress on our systems. Instead of scraping, please download the data dumps and filter them locally to obtain the data you need.

That said, we don't mind small-scale scraping of our API. It can be convenient to use our search endpoint to filter records and retrieve only the fields you need. You can even use the aggregation functionality of our search endpoints to run some simple analyses. Just remember that you cannot paginate beyond 10,000 results in our search endpoints (see Pagination).

If you do decide to scrape our resources, please throttle your requests to no more than one per second and avoid running multiple scrapers in parallel.

Images

This API does not contain image files. However, it does contain all of the data you need to access our images. Our institution serves images via a separate API that is compliant with the IIIF Image API 2.0 (opens new window) specification. Using metadata from this API, you can craft URLs that will allow you to access images of artworks from our collection.

The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) (opens new window) stewards a set of open standards that enables rich access to digital media from libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural institutions around the world. In practical terms, they define several API specifications that enable interoperability. When a tool is built to be IIIF-compliant, it's easier to adapt it to consume images from any number of institutions that offer IIIF-compliant APIs.

IIIF Image API

We deliver our images via the IIIF Image API 2.0 (opens new window). Our IIIF URLs have the following structure:

https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/{region}/{size}/{rotation}/{quality}.{format}

We recommend the following URL structure for most use-cases:

https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/843,/0/default.jpg

Let's jump right into an example. Here's how you can construct IIIF URLs:

1. Retrieve one or more artworks with image_id fields. Here are a few ways of doing so:

   # La Grande Jatte
   https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/27992?fields=id,title,image_id
   
   # La Grande Jatte and The Bedroom
   https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks?ids=27992,28560&fields=id,title,image_id
   
   # Top two public domain artworks
   https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?query[term][is_public_domain]=true&limit=2&fields=id,title,image_id
   

   Let's go with the first one, La Grande Jatte (opens new window). Your response will look something like this:

   {
       "data": {
           "id": 27992,
           "title": "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte — 1884",
           "image_id": "2d484387-2509-5e8e-2c43-22f9981972eb"
       },
       "config": {
           "iiif_url": "https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2",
       }
   }
   

2. Find the base IIIF Image API endpoint in the config.iiif_url field:

   https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2
   

   We recommend that you avoid hardcoding this value into your applications.

3. Append the image_id of the artwork as a segment to this URL:

   https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/2d484387-2509-5e8e-2c43-22f9981972eb
   

4. Append /full/843,/0/default.jpg to the URL:

   https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/2d484387-2509-5e8e-2c43-22f9981972eb/full/843,/0/default.jpg
   

That's it! This is a valid IIIF URL. It will return the same image as we use on our website:

Some artworks also have alt_image_ids, such as the Coronation Stone of Motecuhzoma II (opens new window):

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/75644?fields=id,title,image_id,alt_image_ids

Exhibitions have images, too:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/exhibitions/4568?fields=id,title,image_id,alt_image_ids

Image Sizes

The IIIF Image API 2.0 (opens new window) has a lot of options. However, we prefer to use it conservatively. As mentioned above, here's the URL pattern we use for most projects:

https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/843,/0/default.jpg

We recommend using /full/843,/0/default.jpg because this is the most common size used by our website, so there's a good chance that the image has previously been requested and cached. If you use this pattern in your projects, it will make images load faster in your application and decrease load on our systems.

TIP

We don't mind if you hotlink to our images. Our images support CORS with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * headers—same as our API responses! However, please be aware that any image can get unpublished or replaced at any time.

If you'd like to display the full image at smaller sizes, we recommend the following size increments, as these are likely to give you a cache hit as well:

https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/200,/0/default.jpg
https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/400,/0/default.jpg
https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/600,/0/default.jpg
https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/843,/0/default.jpg

If you are accessing public domain images, you may also use the following pattern for larger images:

https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/1686,/0/default.jpg

However, we still recommend using 843 instead unless there's a clear need for 1686.

Why the strange number—843px wide? This number is related to certain guidelines for the use of copyrighted materials (opens new window) within the museum field. Over time, it became the most common dimension used by our applications, so it is the size we continue to recommend.

IIIF Manifests

We also offer IIIF Manifests for all of our public domain artworks. A manifest is a resource defined by the IIIF Presentation API (opens new window). Each manifest contains artwork metadata—such as title, artist name, and copyright info—alongside a list of images associated with that artwork.

You can access the manifest by appending /manifest.json after the identifier in an artwork detail endpoint. For example, here is the manifest for The Great Wave (opens new window):

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/24645/manifest.json

These IIIF manifests do not contain any data that cannot be found elsewhere in our API. But because they follow a standardized API, they can be used with IIIF-compliant tools, such as Mirador (opens new window). For a fun example, try pasting the URL above into the Getty's Animal Crossing Art Generator (opens new window)—and scroll up to see the result!

Image Dumps

Unfortunately, we cannot offer image dumps at this time. We are exploring that possibility.

For now, you may scrape images from our IIIF Image API. We ask that you please follow our guidelines for scraping images if you decide to do so.

Scraping Images

Generally, we prefer that you hotlink to our images, rather than scraping them. Scraping images can put unnecessary strain on our systems. That said, we understand that many use-cases require images to be stored locally.

If you'd like to scrape images from our IIIF API, please follow these guidelines:

• Scrape one image at a time—do not use multiple threads or processes!
• Consider adding a delay of 1 second between each image download
• Use the following URL pattern to download our most common image size:

  https://www.artic.edu/iiif/2/{identifier}/full/843,/0/default.jpg
  

Copyright

For information about copyright, please see the Image Licensing (opens new window) and Terms (opens new window) pages on our website. We defer to those resources in all legal respects.

From a developer's perspective, we recommend only using images from artworks that are tagged as public domain. When querying for artworks, you can filter by public domain status like so:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?query[term][is_public_domain]=true&limit=0

To get the full list of artworks that are in the public domain, you will need to download our data dumps and perform the filtering locally.

Please note that you may encounter images that are not public domain via our IIIF Image API. It is up to you to determine whether or not you are allowed to use these images for your use-case and to obtain any necessary permissions.

General Information

Authentication

You may access our API without authentication. Anonymous users are throttled to 60 requests per minute. (Each IP counts as a separate user.) If you are working on an application that needs to exceed this restriction, please get in touch with us at engineering@artic.edu.

Please use HTTPS (opens new window) to access our API. To support legacy applications, our API is currently accessible via both HTTP and HTTPS, but HTTP access will be removed in the future.

Lastly, consider adding a AIC-User-Agent header with the name of your project and a contact email to your API requests. For example:

curl 'https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/24645' \
--header 'AIC-User-Agent: aic-bash (engineering@artic.edu)'

We ask that you do so as a matter of courtesy (opens new window). If we see an application using a disproportionate amount of system resources, this gives us an avenue to reach out and work with you to optimize your queries.

TIP

Why AIC-User-Agent? Because modifying the User-Agent header is forbidden by some browsers (opens new window). We are using the AIC- namespace to reduce potential conflicts with other applications (RFC 6648 (opens new window)).

Pagination

Listing and search endpoints are paginated. We show 12 records per page by default. Pagination can be controlled via the following query parameters:

• page to request a specific page of results (1-based, default: 1)
• limit to set how many records each page should return (0-based, default: 12)

Example: https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artists?page=2&limit=10 (opens new window)

For performance reasons, limit cannot exceed 100. Additionally, you cannot request more than 10,000 records from a single search query through any combination of limit and page. For example:

• Success: https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artists/search?limit=100&page=100 (opens new window)
• Error: https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artists/search?limit=100&page=101 (opens new window)

Generally, we ask that you avoid scraping our API. If you want to filter and scrape our search results, but the number of results is greater than 10,000, you won't be able to scrape them fully. Instead, we recommend that you download our data dumps and perform your filtering locally.

Occasionally, it might be useful to check the total number of results without retrieving any data. Our API supports this by allowing you to make a request with limit=0. For example, check pagination.total of this query to see the number of public domain artworks in our API:

https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks/search?query[term][is_public_domain]=true&limit=0 (opens new window)

All paginated endpoints include a pagination block in their responses:

{
    "pagination": {
        "total": 112773,
        "limit": 12,
        "offset": 24,  // 0-based
        "current_page": 3, // 1-based
        "total_pages": 9398,
        "prev_url": "https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks?page=2&limit=12",
        "next_url": "https://api.artic.edu/api/v1/artworks?page=4&limit=12"

            "transcript": "<p>Caitlin Haskell:</p>\n<p>Hi, I'm Caitlin Haskell, I'm the Gary C. and Frances Comer Senior Curator in Modern and Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago. The title of this painting is Still Life Reviving, and it's an extraordinary still life, because the elements that should be resting on the table have taken flight. Eight plates levitate above the tablecloth, and above them, fruit encircles a candlestick and a whirling galaxy.</p>\n<p>We might think that the tablecloth is setting everything into motion, or it's also possible that there is something supernatural taking place more broadly within the space. There are at least three things that make this painting, made by the artist Remedios Varo, especially remarkable. First, it's her final painting, made in 1963, the year that she died at the age of 54. It's also her largest painting on canvas. And unlike most of her paintings, it does not picture a human figure within the scene, creating an eerie situation where we, as the viewer, are witnessing an occurrence that may or may not be seen by others.</p>\n<p>Varo was a Spanish born artist who was involved with the surrealist movement in the 1930s. She ultimately fled the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War in Europe to establish herself in Mexico City, where she was an important member of a vibrant artistic community there. When she first began exhibiting her work, her paintings were met with great fascination, both for the stories they told, and for the singular way that she created them.</p>\n<p>In paintings like this one, she combined centuries old, meticulous methods of painting with futuristic imagery and surrealist automatic techniques. The paintings look both forward and backward, putting the past in conversation with the future. Look, for example, at the architecture of the setting. The Gothic arches conjure the interior of a cathedral. In the vortex above the table, colliding fruits burst open, sending seeds flying to the ground. Between the angled pavers, new plants emerge. Signs of new life. Perhaps these are the first growth of the new worlds that Varo envisioned in her last years of working. Imagined worlds free of the bigotry and sexism, pain and ecological destruction of the world that Varo knew.</p>\n",

Perhaps he is in the process of toppling after suffering a fatal blow from behind.</p>\n<p>The relief is in the Neo-Attic style, which means the Roman artist was imitating the appearance of Greek art from centuries before. In this case, the artist was quoting a well known motif taken from the shield of the cult statue of Athena that once stood in the Parthenon in Athens. According to ancient descriptions of the statue, Athena's shield was adorned with images of the mythological battle between Greek soldiers and the warrior women known as the Amazons. The fallen soldier was part of that imagery, and by copying it, the Roman artists demonstrated their sophisticated understanding of Greek precedents.</p>\n<p>At some point in its history, this sculpture was thrown into the ocean during a shipwreck. The fragment was discovered underwater in the 1920s off the harbor of Piraeus, the port city of ancient Athens.</p>\n<p>Here's curator Lisa \u00c7akmak.</p>\n<p>Lisa \u00c7akmak:</p>\n<p>My favorite part of this piece really is the two different surfaces. When this was excavated, the figure on the left of the relief was embedded into the seafloor. You have a really high polished, very smooth sculpture.</p>\n<p>And then, the right section with his arm and shield, was exposed to all of this marine life. You can see that there are all these holes and scratches. And if you look really, really closely up at the top right corner, you can even see the vestiges of a mollusk shell.</p>\n",

But they typically were used to represent political figures or scholars.</p>\n<p>NARRATOR: Until Van Dyck\u2019 created the Iconography. In this series of prints he not only included political leaders and other renowned citizens, but artists as well, signaling their growing importance in 17th century European society. The Art Institute is fortunate to own all of Van Dyck\u2019s etchings for this project, and they are exhibited here for the first time in almost a century.</p>\n<p>The artist began the series by casually creating 15 portraits, expecting that expert printmakers would finish his plates. He could hardly have anticipated the interest these \u2018unfinished\u2019 prints would generate.</p>\n<p>In this portrait of artist Justus Sustermans, Van Dyck paid great attention to detail in his sitter\u2019s face.</p>\n<p>VICTORIA SANCHO LOBIS: And then from there, the description of the sitter becomes increasingly abstract. And we eventually get to the painter\u2019s right hand, which is drawn in with just the most preliminary and rudimentary lines, sort of square-shaped fingertips, and no shading whatsoever.</p>\n<p>NARRATOR: This contrast between detailed depiction and imaginative abstraction is precisely what caught a collector\u2019s eye and what still seems so modern about Van Dyck\u2019s etchings today. Van Dyck\u2019s self-portrait is probably the first unfinished print ever to have been produced in an edition.</p>\n<p>VICTORIA SANCHO LOBIS: Like most of the etchings that Van Dyck made, this print shows the effects of an imperfectly polished copper plate. So we see scratches, particularly in the upper register. There\u2019s various other passages where a more conscientious printmaker would have taken pains to remove blemishes or imperfections. But these seemed not to bother Van Dyck very much, nor did it bother some of the early collectors.</p>\n<p>NARRATOR: Those collectors immediately embraced van Dyck\u2019s revolutionary portraiture, eagerly purchasing new prints for their collections. Nearby, you\u2019ll see other unfinished portraits van Dyck created for the series.</p>\n",

The architects were selected from an invited competition juried by architects Stanley Tigerman and Harry Cobb, in collaboration with curators from the Art Institute\u2019s Department of Architecture. The 10 architects reflect a cross section of Chicago\u2019s vibrant architectural scene\u2014from large and small firms as well as the academic community\u2014bringing to this exhibition diverse experiences and insights. Each architect was asked to define an important issue for the future of Chicago and create a \u201cspatial commentary\u201d on that particular theme. Within a lively plan designed by Stanley Tigerman, each of the participants has curated and designed his or her own mini-exhibition in a space of approximately 21 feet square. Tigerman\u2019s setting creates a linear sequence in which visitors pass through the architects\u2019 spaces to an interactive area where the architects\u2019 commentaries can be heard by picking up a telephone. Visitors are encouraged to record their comments on any and all of the \u201cten visions.\u201d",

Published as the cover of an issue of the Saturday Evening Post , the work became one of the 20th century\u2019s most recognizable sports images and helped cement the Cubs\u2019 beloved reputation across Chicago. On view in Gallery 263 Learn more in this article .   2026 Society of Contemporary Art (SCA) Exhibition   Since 1940, the Society for Contemporary Art (SCA) has supported contemporary art at the Art Institute of Chicago through donations of artworks and support of exhibition, lectures, and other programs. Each year, members of the SCA\u2019s acquisition committee carefully select a group of contemporary works to consider purchasing and giving to the Art Institute for its permanent collection. This year\u2019s selections include works by Kerstin Br\u00e4tsch, Jana Euler, Tadaaki Kuwayama, Klara Lid\u00e9n, and Walid Raad / The Atlas Group, exploring the shifting boundaries between perception, material, and spatial experience through painting, sculpture, and installation. Organized in partnership with the museum\u2019s Department of Modern and Contemporary Art, the exhibition of these works continues the SCA\u2019s longstanding tradition of supporting rigorous contemporary artistic practices while contributing directly to the museum\u2019s permanent collection. On view in Gallery 294 through August 31, 2026 Learn more about the SCA .   Ker-Xavier Roussel's Public Park   Public Park (about 1893\u201394) by French artist Ker-Xavier Roussel, a member of the Nabis group, captures women and children in Paris\u2019s Tuileries garden. The superb painting complements domestic scenes by fellow Nabis, including Roussel\u2019s brother-in-law \u00c9douard Vuillard and F\u00e9lix Vallotton , and creates new connections within the museum\u2019s wider Post-Impressionist collection, especially with Georges Seurat\u2019s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte .

Caked: a plein air romp with baked goods by Gladys Nilsson   Gladys Nilsson\u2014SAIC graduate, 30+-year SAIC faculty member, and one of the wonderfully inventive artists who exhibited as the Hairy Who in the 1960s\u2014just completed a commissioned mural for the museum at the beginning of May. Commemorating the artist's 85th birthday, the mural features many figures gallivanting outdoors and enjoying carrot cake\u2014the artist's favorite. As is typical for Nilsson, she didn't work from a sketch for this mural, but instead from a rough concept, and this particular drawing came together on the wall from the edges into the center. It is the largest work she has ever made.   On view in Gallery 286, just around the corner from the Modern Bar Learn more, from Nilsson herself, in this Art Institute Short , and read about the experience of assisting Nilsson with the mural in this article .   Kay WalkingStick's The Silence of Glacier   The Silence of Glacier is the first work by Cherokee artist Kay WalkingStick to enter our collection. Depicting Glacier National Park overlaid with a Northern Cheyenne beadwork pattern, the painting reclaims the Rockies as Native land and highlights Indigenous abstraction. Within our collection, WalkingStick\u2019s work invites dialogue with historic Native art and modern works like Georgia O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s landscapes. See it alongside O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s Green Mountains, Canada , in Gallery 160.   SCULPTURES BY LOUISE BOURGEOIS   A special presentation in Gallery 293 brings together six sculptures by Louise Bourgeois that span the artist\u2019s nearly 75-year career. From early works made of wood that evoke the body to architectural structures resembling cages and prison cells, her wide-ranging experiments in form examine the complexities of the human condition. The artist often referenced aspects of her own life in her work, such as her childhood in France and her role as a mother. Yet her sculptures transcend autobiography and engage themes of loss and loneliness, sex and mortality, trauma and fear. On view in Gallery 293   Remedios Varo's Still Life Reviving (Naturaleza muerta resucitando)   Still Life Reviving (Naturaleza muerta resucitando) , Remedios Varo\u2019s last and largest painting, transforms the quietude of a traditional still life into a supernatural scene. Set in a Gothic tower, a table for eight begins to levitate. Above it, apples, peaches, pomegranates, and strawberries orbit like planets in a solar system. The emergence of new life is a common theme of Varo\u2019s work of the 1960s. Here, in addition to the seedlings sprouting up, the cloth itself seems animated. Everything flows into the vortex, except four mosquitos that look on warily as the fruits collide. On view in Gallery 396 Learn more in this article .   El Anatsui's The Deluge   The Deluge , a loan from a private collection, presents a version of the Biblical flood. Near the top of the work, abstract shapes resemble clouds with blue lines of rain shooting down. Inspired in part by the graphic woven patterns of African cloths, Ghanaian artist El Anatsui uses recycled cans and other found aluminum to weave sculptural tapestries. The repurposed objects bear traces of their initial use; as the artist has explained, they comprise \u201cmedia which come with history, meaning, with something [that] means something to me. Not just oil paint from a tube. I can\u2019t relate to that well. I would rather go for something people have used. Then there is a link between me and the other people who have touched that piece.\u201d On view in Griffin Court   Simone Leigh's Sharifa   The nine-foot-tall Sharifa (2022) by Chicago-born artist Simone Leigh is what the artist has called \u201cthe first portrait I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d The subject is the writer Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts, author of Harlem Is Nowhere , a 2011 history of the storied neighborhood. She is also one of Leigh\u2019s closest friends and a frequent participant in her projects. The sculpture grew out of a video project Leigh produced for an exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in which she asked Rhodes-Pitts and others to recall and recreate their body position during childbirth. \u201cSharifa was just leaning against the wall, thinking, and that was the start of this sculpture,\u201d Leigh has said. Though many of her sculptures use friends and colleagues as their subjects, before Sharifa , the artist had resisted calling them portraits. Rhodes-Pitts, as both a historian and a mother, embodies the labor of black women that Leigh has long centered in her work.

Ramon Casas\u2019s Erik Satie   On loan to us from Northwestern University Libraries, this grand, full-length portrait shows French composer Erik Satie looking well dressed but a little worse for wear, having presumedly been out all night at the cabaret. The work holds the place usually occupied by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec\u2019s At the Moulin Rouge , itself on loan to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Fun fact: It was Toulouse-Lautrec who inspired Casas to depict scenes of modern life this this one. On view in Gallery 242 ",

Georgia O\u2019Keeffe didn't travel in an airplane until she was in her 70s, but when she did, she was fascinated. She started a series of paintings inspired by her in-flight experiences. The works began small and progressively got bigger until the final canvas in the series, Sky above Clouds IV , which is so large that it has never traveled since coming to the Art Institute.   One of America's most famous paintings, American Gothic , debuted at the Art Institute of Chicago, winning a $300 prize and instant fame for Grant Wood. It has long been parodied and is often seen as a satirical commentary on the Midwestern character, but Wood intended it to a positive statement about rural American values.

One of the best-known images of 20th-century art, Nighthawks depicts an all-night diner in which three customers, all lost in their own thoughts, have congregated. It's unclear how or why the anonymous and uncommunicative night owls are there\u2014in fact, Hopper eliminated any reference to an entrance to the diner. The four seem as separate and remote from the viewer as they are from one another. (The red-haired woman was actually modeled by the artist\u2019s wife, Jo.)   Known today for his paintings and murals depicting Mexican political and cultural life, Diego Rivera enjoyed a brief but sparkling period as a Cubist painter early in his career. In this work he portrayed his then-lover, the Russian-born painter and writer Marevna Vorob\u00ebv-Stebelska, clearly conveying her distinctive bobbed hair, blond bangs, and prominent nose\u2014despite or with the aid of the Cubist style. Like many other artists in Paris, Rivera rejected Cubism as frivolous and inappropriate following World War I and the Russian Revolution.   A native Chicagoan and graduate of the School of the Art Institute, Archibald Motley used his art to represent the vibrancy of African American culture, frequently portraying young, sophisticated city dwellers out on the town. One of Motley\u2019s most celebrated paintings, Nightlife depicts a crowded cabaret in the South Side neighborhood of Bronzeville. The dynamic composition, intense lighting, and heightened colors vividly express the liveliness of the scene.   The only American artist invited to exhibit with the French Impressionists, Mary Cassatt concentrated on the human figure, particularly on sensitive yet unsentimental portrayals of women and children. In The Child\u2019s Bath , one of Cassatt\u2019s masterworks, she used cropped forms, bold patterns and outlines, and a flattened perspective, all of which she derived from her study of Japanese woodblock prints.   Eldzier Cortor lived in Chicago and attended the School of the Art Institute, and while drawn to abstraction, he felt that it was not an effective tool for conveying serious social and political concerns. In The Room No. VI, the artist exposes the impoverished living conditions experienced by many African Americans on the South Side through a brilliant use of line and color, reinvigorating the idiom of social realism.   Though Stuart Davis studied with the so-called Ashcan School, who sought to depict a realistic look at modern urban life, he came to embrace a more abstracted and energetic style, as seen in Ready-to-Wear . The bright colors intersect and interrupt one another in a distinctly American way: jazzy, vital, and mass produced\u2014all qualities summed up in the title.   In addition to architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright designed furniture like this chair from his home in Oak Park, Illinois. Though his early experiments were heavy, solid cube chairs, he eventually added the refinements seen in this design, such as spindles, the subtly tapering crest rail, and gently curving leg ends, all of which produce an effect that is equal parts sophistication and simplicity.   In The Herring Net, Winslow Homer depicts two fishermen at their daily yet heroic work. As the small boat rides the swells, one fisherman hauls in the heavy net while the other unloads the glistening herring, illustrating that teamwork is essential for survival on this churning sea that both gives and takes.

More than 100 years ago, Agnes F. Northrop designed the monumental Hartwell Memorial Window for Tiffany Studios as a commission from Mary Hartwell in honor of her husband, Frederick Hartwell, for the Central Baptist Church of Providence, Rhode Island (now Community Church of Providence). Composed of 48 panels and numerous different glass types, the window is inspired by the view from Frederick Hartwell\u2019s family home near Mt. Chocorua in New Hampshire. The majestic scene captures the transitory beauty of nature\u2014the sun setting over a mountain, flowing water, and dappled light dancing through the trees\u2014in an intricate arrangement of vibrantly colored glass. On view at the top of the Woman's Board Grand Staircase   This 12th-century statue of the Buddha comes from the south Indian coastal town of Nagapattinam, where Buddhist monasteries flourished and attracted monks from distant lands. He is seated in a lotus posture of meditation, with hands and feet resting atop one another. The mark on his forehead is called the urna, which distinguishes the Buddha as a great being. On view in Gallery 140   Kashmir-raised, London-based artist Raqib Shaw has worked on his autobiographical Paradise Lost since 2009, but he hadn\u2019t seen all 21 panels together until the more than 100-foot-wide work was installed in our galleries in the summer of 2025. This magnificent allegorical painting takes viewers on a spellbinding journey, from the nocturnal solitude of the artist\u2019s childhood in Kashmir to the frenzied daylight of the art world and the West to finally a fragile, renewed dawn. Each panel is dense with symbolism, and the composition is dotted with images of the artist, sometimes as a humanoid creature and sometimes unambiguously in full human form. On view in Galleries 141\u2013142   Gallery 109 was designed by Tadao And\u014d, a self-taught architect who sought out instruction through apprenticeships with carpenters, designers, and planners and by traveling to visit major works by European and American architects in Japan and abroad. Completed in 1992, the \"And\u014d Gallery\" evokes a traditional Japanese interior with 16 free-standing wood columns in a darkened room, framing the art objects displayed in cases around the room\u2019s perimeter in an entirely modern way. On view in Gallery 109   Created by Bernat Martorell\u2014the greatest Spanish painter of the first half of the 15th century\u2014this scene shows a popular episode from the legend of Saint George where the model Christian knight saves a town and rescues a beautiful princess. Triumphant on his rearing white steed, Saint George points a lance down at the evil dragon. The princess looks on, wearing an ermine-lined robe and a sumptuous gilt crown. George\u2019s halo and armor and the scaly body of the dragon are richly modeled with raised stucco decoration. Martorell also treated the ground, littered with bones and crawling with lizards, in a lively manner, giving it a gritty texture. On view in Gallery 237   For his largest and best-known painting, Georges Seurat depicted Parisians enjoying all sorts of leisurely activities\u2014strolling, lounging, sailing, and fishing\u2014in the park called La Grande Jatte in the River Seine. He used an innovative technique called Pointillism, inspired by optical and color theory, applying tiny dabs of different colored paint that viewers see as a single, and Seurat believed, more brilliant hue. On view in Gallery 240   Over his short five-year career, Vincent van Gogh painted 35 self-portraits\u201424 of them, including this early example, during his two-year stay in Paris with his brother Theo. Here, Van Gogh used densely dabbed brushwork, an approach influenced by Georges Seurat\u2019s revolutionary technique in A Sunday on La Grande Jatte\u20141884 (on view Gallery in 240), to create a dynamic portrayal of himself. The dazzling array of dots and dashes in brilliant greens, blues, reds, and oranges is anchored by his intense gaze. On view in Gallery 241   Painted in the summer of 1965, when Georgia O'Keeffe was 77 years old, this monumental work culminates the artist\u2019s series based on her experiences as an airplane passenger during the 1950s. Spanning the entire 24-foot width of O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s garage, the work has not left the Art Institute since it came into the building\u2014because of its size and because of its status as an essential icon. On view in Gallery 249   One of the most famous American paintings of all time, this double portrait by Grant Wood debuted at the Art Institute in 1930, winning the artist a $300 prize and instant fame. Many people think the couple are a husband and wife, but Wood meant the couple to be a father and his daughter. (His sister and his dentist served as his models.) He intended this Depression-era canvas to be a positive statement about rural American values during a time of disillusionment. On view in Gallery 263   This iconic painting of an all-night diner in which three customers sit together and yet seem totally isolated from one another has become one of the best-known images of 20th-century art. Hopper said of the enigmatic work, \u201cUnconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city.\u201d On view in Gallery 262   In December 1931 Pablo Picasso began a series of paintings of Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Walter, a French model with whom he was romantically involved while married to his first wife, Olga Khokhlova. Perhaps acknowledging their double life, Picasso invented a new motif\u2014a face encompassing both frontal and profile views. A constant innovator, Picasso experimented with materials as well as with form and style. The Red Armchair demonstrates the artist\u2019s inventive use of Ripolin, an industrial house paint. Mixing it with oil paint he produced various surfaces, from the rough, yellow background to the almost brushless finish of the black lines. On view in Gallery 394   Joan Mitchell once declared that her large, light-filled abstract canvases were \u201cabout landscape, not about me.\u201d Here, the dense tangle of color and gestural brushstrokes captures the energy of a bustling metropolis. Mitchell had ample time to observe city life, having been born and raised in Chicago and spending much of the 1950s traveling between the artistic hubs of Paris and New York. City Landscape can be interpreted in various ways: a skyline and its reflection on a body of water, the commotion of a downtown street, or the view from an airplane window\u2014a cluster of buildings blurring into the surrounding patchwork of fields.

            "web_url": "https://www.artic.edu/press/press-releases/242/charles-white-a-retrospective",
            "copy": " Tuesday, January 23, 2018   CHICAGO \u2014Charles White, born and educated in Chicago, was one of the preeminent artists to emerge during the city\u2019s Black Renaissance of the 1930s and 1940s. A passionate mural and easel painter and superbly gifted draftsman, White powerfully interpreted African American history, culture, and lives in striking works that nevertheless have a more universal resonance. Presented by the Art Institute of Chicago and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, Charles White: A Retrospective runs June 8-September 3 at the Art Institute before traveling to MoMA, where it will be on view from October 7, 2018 through January 13, 2019, followed by Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art in Spring 2019. Co-curated by Sarah Kelly Oehler, Field McCormick Chair and Curator of American Art, and Esther Adler, Associate Curator, Department of Drawings and Prints, MoMA, the exhibition examines how White explored social and political themes ranging from the ongoing fight for freedom and equality to the dignity and struggles of labor. Throughout his career, he pushed against the boundaries of his media and the figurative tradition in American art.   As an artist, White\u2019s mastery of mediums intersected with social activism, engaging the past and present with an eye toward the future. He defined his essential quest as the discovery of truth, beauty, and dignity of life and people while using an expressive and highly accessible realism. He often drew from history to illuminate inequities contemporary to his time, as Oehler describes in the forthcoming catalogue for the exhibition, \u201cNot content merely to be mindful of the past, White made it his most important artistic theme\u2026 He returned to the past again and again for aesthetic inspiration, explicitly harnessing his creative energies to educate his fellow citizens and promote social equality by producing and displaying inspiring images of historical figures.\u201d   Presented in the 100th anniversary year of the artist\u2019s birth, this exhibition marks the most comprehensive presentation of White\u2019s work since 1982 and unites a selection of his finest paintings, drawings, and prints. This includes fourteen works owned by the Art Institute, drawn in part from the group of forty-three prints by White recently acquired by the Art Institute, of which five were offered as gifts by the artist\u2019s son. This breathtaking collection of White\u2019s prints begins with his work in Mexico during the late\u20131940s, up through his last published lithograph and his most powerful etchings. Organized chronologically, the exhibition examines the development of White\u2019s practice, from his emergence as a force in the Chicago art world through his mature career as an artist, activist, and educator in New York and Los Angeles. The exhibition deepens understanding of White\u2019s artistic oeuvre, looking in particular at his output through the lens of Chicago\u2019s unique cultural and artistic communities and the city\u2019s broader contributions to American art history. Together, the featured works speak to White\u2019s universal appeal and continued relevance to audiences today.   A full catalogue featuring essays by organizing curators Sarah Kelly Oehler and Esther Adler accompanies the exhibition. Additional essayists include Ilene Susan Fort, Curator Emerita of American Art at Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Kellie Jones, Associate Professor in Art History and Archaeology and the Institute for Research in African American Studies (IRAAS) at Columbia University; Mark Pascale, Janet and Craig Duchossois Curator of Prints and Drawings, the Art Institute of Chicago; and Deborah Willis, University Professor and Chair of the Department of Photography and Imaging at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.Sponsors   Image: Charles White.

        "copy": " The Art Institute of Chicago has been at the forefront of American museums in collecting and displaying modern art since the early twentieth century, and boasts an ongoing commitment to extending this vital legacy with research, publications, and exhibitions. In that spirit, a number of our curators came together in 2013 for a series of discussions exploring ideas about modern art, in particular the ways in which it manifests across our collections. This gave rise to the Modern Series, a set of three experimental, challenging, and provocative exhibitions and publications that are co-organized by curators across departments, with divergent but complementary specialties. The two previous iterations\u2014 Shatter Rupture Break (February 15\u2013May 3, 2015) and Go (February 23\u2013June 4, 2017)\u2014sought to present the museum\u2019s holdings in departments including Arts of the Americas, Modern and Contemporary Art, Photography and Media, and Textiles in fresh and exciting ways. Malangatana: Mozambique Modern (July 30\u2013November 16, 2020), the third and final project in the series, expands our understanding of modernism and modern art in a global context by bringing the work of celebrated Mozambican artist Malangatana Ngwenya (1936\u20132011) into conversation with our own international collection. It not only showcases the evolution in style and content within his early paintings and drawings, but also contextualizes his practice within the social and political conditions that framed the emergence of modern art in Mozambique and across the African continent. The exhibition also contributed to the cultivation of a more global perspective on artistic creation and its representation in the museum, both by providing the basis for this publication and, not least, by prompting us to acquire a painting and six works on paper by Malangatana for our permanent collection. Africa and its diasporas, with their deep history and wide geographical reach, occupy a prominent place within global art history and modern art that merits many more such efforts and programs in the years to come. Our colleagues\u2014notably Sarah Guernsey, Ann Goldstein, and Greg Nosan\u2014deserve my sincere gratitude for their continuing critical support for the Modern Series. But I am especially thankful to the exhibition\u2019s curators, Hendrik Folkerts, Felicia Mings, and Constantine Petridis, for introducing our staff and visitors to the fascinating milieu and work of Malangatana Ngwenya and for helping the Art Institute expand its representation of modern art from around the world. This exhibition would not have been possible without the generosity of the individuals and institutions in the United States, Portugal, and Mozambique who lent works from their collections. I am particularly grateful to the Malangatana Valente Ngwenya Foundation in Maputo for its invaluable loan of a significant number of paintings and drawings. Major funding for Malangatana: Mozambique Modern was provided by Sylvia Neil and Dan Fischel and the Alfred L. McDougal and Nancy Lauter McDougal Fund for Contemporary Art. Additional support is contributed by the Society for Contemporary Art through the SCA Activation Fund and the Miriam U. Hoover Foundation. Members of the Luminary Trust provide annual leadership support for the museum\u2019s operations, including exhibition development, conservation and collection care, and educational programming. The Luminary Trust includes an anonymous donor; Neil Bluhm and the Bluhm Family Charitable Foundation; Jay Franke and David Herro; Karen Gray-Krehbiel and John Krehbiel, Jr.; Kenneth Griffin; Caryn and King Harris, The Harris Family Foundation; Josef and Margot Lakonishok; Robert M. and Diane v.S. Levy; Ann and Samuel M. Mencoff; Sylvia Neil and Dan Fischel; Anne and Chris Reyes; Cari and Michael J. Sacks; and the Earl and Brenda Shapiro Foundation. Most importantly, I acknowledge with deepest thanks the intellectual and financial support of Sylvia Neil and Dan Fischel, who have provided crucial funding for the realization of this catalogue as well as the previous two in the Modern Series. Their ongoing commitment has enabled and encouraged our continued explorations into the possibilities of digital publication. James Rondeau President and Eloise W. Martin Director ",
