# 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:

La Grande Jatte

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
    

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:

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",

        "transcript": "<p>VICTORIA SANCHO LOBIS:  Portrait prints had been made since the beginning of the history of the print.  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",

            "title": "Hidden Materials in John Singer Sargent\u2019s Watercolors",
            "copy": " While John Singer Sargent is most widely known for his oil portraits of august men and women in fashionable interiors, he cultivated a love of painting outdoors from an early age. As a boy he recorded his family\u2019s European travels in sketchbooks, and as his talent and repertoire grew, he acquired numerous accoutrements such as portable easels, sketching umbrellas, rigid pads of paper, and compact palettes of watercolors that allowed him to paint multiple pictures during one outing, even in challenging conditions. In fact, Sargent was an official war artist for Britain during World War I and spent four months on the front painting and sketching.   A fellow war artist, Henry Tonks, painted this watercolor caricature of Sargent in 1918, depicting the artist clothed in army greens and shielded by a sketching umbrella that Sargent camouflaged for the purpose. The painting (held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and not a part of this exhibition) gives new meaning to challenging conditions\u2014and shows us a glimpse of Sargent\u2019s life apart from glamorous portraits.   In preparation for the current exhibition John Singer Sargent and Chicago\u2019s Gilded Age , Art Institute curators, conservators, and conservation scientists examined some of Sargent\u2019s paintings and investigated his less obvious materials, finding evidence that provides valuable insight into the artist\u2019s working process. A Newsworthy Surprise Sargent captured hundreds of landscapes in watercolor as he traveled across Europe and North America. In 1908 he painted Tarragona Terrace and Garden when he visited the eastern coast of Spain. Seated in the arcade of Tarragona\u2019s cathedral, Sargent made a quick study of its columns.   While he generally preferred to leave parts of the paper bare to delineate highlights, the foliage in the upper left corner of this picture was painted using a different technique. Here it appears that Sargent simply laid in a mass of greens and browns and then returned with an opaque, zinc white paint to create his highlights. In order to fully conceal the dark colors underneath, Sargent had to use thick dabs of white as if he were making a correction in oils. Sargent often made multiple paintings in one day and would interleave his paintings with sheets of newspaper for protection as he carried them. He did this with Tarragona Terrace and Garden , perhaps not realizing that the thickly applied areas of paint had not dried completely when he laid the newspaper on its surface. As an unintended consequence, fragments from a Spanish newspaper stuck to the painting, remnants of Sargent\u2019s panting process that survive today.   In normal light these tiny pieces of newsprint are barely noticeable, but they stand out in an infrared photograph, which makes some of the Spanish text almost legible.   Wax in a Watercolor Nearly 10 years after he painted Tarragona Terrace and Garden , Sargent made another series of stunning architectural studies while visiting his friends Charles and James Deering in Florida. Sargent was drawn to Vizcaya, the lavish estate that James had recently built, not least of all because it reminded him of the Italian landscapes and gardens that he loved to paint.   Analytical instruments in the conservation science lab at the Art Institute can help answer a lot of questions about artists\u2019 materials. In the case of this work, scientists sought more information about a soft, translucent material found in discrete areas on its surface. The material was analyzed and determined to be a wax, which Sargent used as a \u201cresist\u201d\u2014meaning that he marked the paper with a transparent material that would repel the water-based paint and leave highlights in the composition.   Analysis also revealed that the wax is a type called spermaceti, a product obtained from sperm whales and a major commercial product of the whaling industry. In Sargent\u2019s time this wax was commonly used to make candles. Finding it here helps to explain Sargent\u2019s process\u2014because spermaceti is softer than other common waxes such as beeswax, it would have been the logical choice for use as a drawing material. To learn more about Sargent\u2019s process and materials come visit John Singer Sargent and Chicago\u2019s Gilded Age in the Art Institute\u2019s Regenstein Hall through September 30, and check out the technical essay in the exhibition catalogue . \u2014Mary Broadway, associate conservator of prints and drawings ",

            "copy": " Jitish Kallat\u2019s installation Public Notice 3 opens at the Art Institute of Chicago tomorrow, September 11, 2010. The artist was generous enough to give us his thoughts on the work. Public Notice 3 draws on the historical convergence of an enormously influential call for religious tolerance by Swami Vivekananda at the Art Institute on September 11, 1893, and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. The installation will be on view until January 2, 2011.   This Saturday, September 11, as Public Notice 3 takes up tenancy on the risers of the Art Institute\u2019s Grand Staircase, one of the elements it draws upon is the memory inscribed within the architecture of the museum building (site) and commences its engagement with the visiting public by evoking recent memories enshrined within 9/11 (date). Through its connection with the history of this building, it evokes yet another date, that of the first Parliament of Religions that took place at this very site at the Art Institute on September 11, 1893. The Parliament was the first attempt to create a global convergence of faiths\u2014not nations, possibly with the knowledge that in the future it will not \u201conly\u201d be nations that become sole commissioners of carnage\u2014and Public Notice 3 overlays these contrasting moments like a palimpsest. On September 11, 1893, the crowd of 7,000 was addressed by Swami Vivekananda. Now his speech is illuminated, conceptually and actually, in the threat coding system of the United States Department of Homeland Security. I find it interesting how the advisory system co-opts five colours from a visual artist\u2019s toolbox into the rhetoric of terror, by framing them as devices to meter and broadcast threat (much like its predecessors, the British BIKINI alert state and the French vigipirate ). Treating the museum\u2019s Grand Staircase almost like a notepad, the 118 step-risers receive the refracted text of the speech. I see Public Notice 3 as an experiential and contemplative transit space; the text of the speech is doubled at the two entry points on the lower levels of the staircase and quadrupled at the four exit points at the top, multiplying like a visual echo. \u2014Jitish Kallat ",

        "title": "Secrets of the Modern Wing",
        "copy": " I give a lot of tours of the Modern Wing, and there are details about the building that most visitors like but that aren\u2019t necessarily apparent to anyone going through the building on their own. So, here are some \u201csecrets\u201d of the Modern Wing. The building that now sits on Monroe Street is actually the third version of the expansion that the museum planned. We started thinking about expanding in 1999, before Millennium Park was built. So the original idea was to put the expansion on the south side of the building, over the railroad tracks. But once Millennium Park started to become more than parking lots, broken bottles, and train tracks, the architect Renzo Piano and museum leaders decided to completely reorient the building to face north. This move was made in 2001. To \u201ctalk\u201d to the park, and to test some proportional ideas for the fa\u00e7ade, Piano designed the two Exelon Pavilions across the street from the Modern Wing. You may know these pavilions as the entrances to the parking garages under the park. Same materials, same ideas as those for the Modern Wing. Modest structures, big architect.   A guiding principle for the Modern Wing is Piano\u2019s idea of \u201czero gravity\u201d\u2014that buildings should appear to levitate and lift. I had always heard about this idea, and I sense it when I\u2019m in the building, but it was never quite sure of how the details\u2014beyond lots of verticals\u2014worked. But the key to it in the Modern Wing is that everything is designed to not quite meet the floor. Every wall has a one-inch \u201creveal\u201d at the bottom of it. Piano designed all the benches, and they all sit slightly up off the floor on little pegs.   Every sculpture pedestal and platform also sit up off the floor. The main staircase also \u201cfloats,\u201d with an inch between what appears to be its base and the floor. Tiny detail, huge impact.   More to come! \u2014Erin Hogan ",

            "copy": " In this tour of the collection, you\u2019ll find five works by artists or featuring subjects who are envisioning peace, imagining new futures, and creating safe and just spaces. Explore these artworks and our suggested activities with your family and friends. Think about what you can do to help others and make your mark in the world.   Mended Petal (2016) by Yoko Ono Pritzker Garden   Yoko Ono is an artist, musician, and peace activist, and many of her artworks are meant to bring awareness to the need for peace and healing in the world. This sculpture is the shape of a petal from a lotus flower. Ono said, \u201cI see the lotus as a universal symbol of peace and embodiment of all of our greatest hopes and aspirations.\u201d Look for the raised lines on this sculpture, where it was mended. What do you think needs to be mended in the world today? How would you help to repair it? Use your body to copy the shape of this sculpture. Stand tall, raise your arms, and put your hands together. Feel the healing energy flow upward through your legs and body and then up your arms to the sky.   Starry Night and the Astronauts (1972) by Alma Thomas Gallery 297   This painter Alma Thomas wasn't afraid to try something new in art, even as she grew older. In her 70s, after retiring from teaching, she began to paint in an abstract way, using thick dabs of bright color. She was captivated by space exploration and astronauts going to the moon, and even though she never flew into space, she used her imagination to capture its magic in a new way. Thomas made this work in 1972, when she was 81\u2014the same year she became the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Do you think it\u2019s ever too late to change the way you think? Or too late to explore the things that fascinate you? Alma Thomas didn\u2019t think so. Can you think of people who made a difference when they were older? Do you think that you will continue to work for the things you believe in?   This, My Brother (1942) by Charles White Gallery 262   The Chicago artist Charles White said, \u201cPaint is the only weapon I have with which to fight what I resent.\u201d He believed that art could be a force in promoting racial equality for black people. This painting of a man emerging from a demolished building is based on a novel about a white miner who survives a terrible workplace accident and joins the workers\u2019 struggle against the company. White changed the character into a black man with outstretched hands, a hopeful image of the possibility of social change. How can paintings of injustice inspire people to make changes in the world? What would you call attention to, through your art, in order to make a difference?   SustainingTraditions\u2014Digital Teachings (2018) by Kelly Church Gallery 262   Native artists such as Kelly Church, a fifth-generation basket maker, have used black ash trees to make baskets for thousands of years. Across the United States, however, these trees are being destroyed by the emerald ash borer, an invasive insect. Church envisions a future when traditional knowledge keepers like herself may not be able to teach this art to the next generation. Inside this basket, she has placed a flash drive containing files that record this knowledge for her community, entrusting our museum to preserve it. What special skills would you want to pass on to future generations so they aren't lost? Think about the qualities that each person brings to a community and talk with your family about ways we can use our knowledge and skills to help each other.   Jizo Bosatsu (Kamakura period, late 12th\u2013early 13th century), Japan Gallery 104   The figure of Jizo, a gentle, peaceful Buddhist monk, stands on a lotus flower, the subject of Yoko Ono\u2019s Mended Petal . In Buddhist art, the lotus is a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening. In his left hand Jizo holds a jewel called a cintamani , a symbol of his power to help others. In his right hand he holds a staff that jingles as he walks, alerting small creatures in his path to scuttle away so they are not trampled. With this small, kind gesture, Jizo shows compassion for all living beings. What other kinds of quiet and not-so-quiet gestures can be effective as activism?   For more family fun, visit the Ryan Learning Center , a space for art making and engaging activities. Drop by to take part in a studio project, design your own one-of-a-kind tour using JourneyMaker, and more. Open daily, 11:00\u20133:00. Closed on Tuesdays.

            "copy": " Since then, the museum has supported black artists, purchasing many works for the collection including those by graduates of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), one of the few art academies that allowed black students to enroll at the turn of the 20th century, such as Archibald John Motley Jr., Walter Ellison, Eldzier Cortor, and Richard Hunt. Today we continue to expand the collection with the distinct voices and perspectives of black artists across departments and media\u2014architecture, design, installation art, painting, printmaking, photography, painting, sculpture, and textiles. This tour features a rotating selection of these works. Please note that while many of these works are on view, and are noted as such, some may be off view due to the museum's installation schedule. Click through to the artwork pages for more information.   Walter T. Bailey   The first black architect licensed in Illinois, Walter T. Bailey studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and spent his early career as a professor at Tuskegee University\u2014a historically black university in Alabama. In 1922 he was commissioned by the Knights of Pythias, a black fraternal order (there was also a predominantly white Knights of Pythias order at the time), to design their national headquarters in Chicago\u2019s thriving Bronzeville neighborhood. When it was completed in 1928, the building was the largest and most significant in the country to be designed, built, and financed by African Americans. This terracotta fragment was recovered from the temple's Egyptian Revival facade\u2014a style which likely held great significance for the black Knights of Pythias at a moment when many African American intellectuals looked to the history of Egypt as a source of cultural pride. Although the structure was demolished in 1980, the Pythian Temple remains an important part of the rich history of Bronzeville and Chicago\u2019s South Side. This work is on view in Gallery 200.   Richmond Barth\u00e9   After studying painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Mississippi native Richmond Barth\u00e9 moved to New York where he achieved success as a sculptor. His works were exhibited widely by the Harmon Foundation, an organization that promoted African American artists and writers, and earned the praise of Harlem Renaissance critic Alain Locke. Barth\u00e9, who frequently explored the expressive potential of the body\u2019s form, pose, and movement, modeled Boxer from memory, inspired by the famed Cuban featherweight Eligio Sardi\u00f1as Montalvo, better known as \u201cKid Chocolate\u201d\u2014who, Barth\u00e9 said, \u201cmoved like a ballet dancer.\u201d In this work, Barth\u00e9 conveys the boxer\u2019s immense strength and agility with lyricism and grace. This work is on view in Gallery 161.   Simone Leigh   Over the past 20 years, Simone Leigh has been celebrated for a sculptural practice that draws from a diverse range of African diasporic traditions. Her work encompasses sculptures in materials ranging from ceramic to bronze as well as videos, installations, and community-centered gatherings. Rooted in her exploration of black female subjectivity, Leigh\u2019s sculptures give form to the history, knowledge, and experience that a body can hold. Leigh calls Sharifa \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. Rhodes-Pitts is also one of Leigh\u2019s closest friends and a frequent participant in her projects. As both a historian and a mother, she embodies the labor of black women that Leigh has long centered in her work. This work is on view in the North Garden.   Alma Thomas   After decades as a representational painter, in her 70s, Alma Thomas turned to abstraction, creating shimmering, mosaic-like fields of color with rhythmic dabs of paint that were often inspired by forms from nature. The artist had been fascinated with space exploration since the late 1960s, and her later paintings often referenced America\u2019s manned Apollo missions to the moon. Although she had never flown, Thomas began to paint as if she were in an airplane, capturing what she described as shifting patterns of light and streaks of color. Starry Night and the Astronauts evokes the open expanse and celestial patterns of a night sky, but the work could also be read as an aerial view of a watery surface. This painting was created in 1972, when the artist was 80. In the same year, she became the first African American woman to receive a solo exhibition at a major art museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. This work is on view in Gallery 297.   Betye Saar   Betye Saar began her career as a printmaker in Los Angeles in the 1960s, incorporating metaphysical elements from a wide range of sources including phrenology, palm reading, and astrology. Eshu (The Trickster) was inspired by a trip that Saar took in 1970 to Chicago\u2019s Field Museum of Natural History with friend and fellow artist David Hammons. Impressed with the multitude of African objects she encountered, Saar returned home to start a new series of what she referred to as \u201critual pieces.\u201d To create this assemblage, Saar attached fabric to a found leather support. \u201cWhen I saw the main shape,\u201d Saar reflected, \u201cI knew I wanted to create a body.\u201d She traced the contours of her own hands and feet in paint onto the surface to conjure an abstract version of Eshu, the trickster god of the Yoruba people of West Africa. By integrating her own body, Saar claimed her role as \u201ca medium, the connection between the material and the message.\u201d This work is on view in Gallery 297.   Henry Ossawa Tanner   The son of a prominent minister of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Henry Osssawa Tanner was perhaps the most renowned American painter of religious works at the turn of the 20th century. After studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Tanner moved to France in 1891 in an effort to escape the trenchant racism that limited his career in the United States. The Two Disciples at the Tomb depicts an event from the Gospel of Saint John in which Peter and John arrive at Christ\u2019s empty tomb. Tanner grounds the scene in the figures\u2019 thoughtful expressions\u2014Peter looks downward with a somber gaze, while John appears transfixed, his face bathed in a golden light that signifies the presence of Christ\u2019s spirit. This work is on view in Gallery 273.   David Drake   This boldly inscribed storage jar was made by David Drake, who was born enslaved around 1800and learned the art of hand-coiling, throwing, and glazing pottery in Edgefield, South Carolina. \u201cLM\u201d stands for Lewis Miles, Drake\u2019s enslaver and owner of the Stoney Bluff Manufactory, part of the plantation where the potter labored from around 1849 to the 1860s. Drake was not the only artisan active in Edgefield, and his audacious works represent artistry, skill, and resilience at a time when enslaved people faced criminalization and violence for reading, writing, or even signing one\u2019s name. This work is on view in Gallery 161.   Hughie Lee-Smith   Starting art classes at age ten and graduating from the Cleveland School of Art (now the Cleveland Institute of Art), Hughie Lee-Smith became a painter of uncategorizable images\u2014scenes of lone enigmatic figures in bleak landscapes that are realist yet surreal, romantic and mystical. The artist linked the starkness of his imagery to his experience as an African American man, later recalling, \u201cUnconsciously it has a lot to do with a sense of alienation \u2026 and in all blacks there is an awareness of their isolation from the mainstream of society.\u201d In Desert Forms , as in many of Lee-Smith\u2019s works, the isolation can also be interpreted as a universal statement about the loneliness that can be experienced by all of humanity. This work is on view in Gallery 262.   Norman Lewis   New York painter Norman Lewis began his career working in the social realist style. Around 1946, however, he started exploring a gestural approach to abstraction and became the only African American among the first generation of Abstract Expressionist artists. Although his work avoided overt representation, he still sought to address social concerns. The title of this painting alludes to the United States\u2019 struggles and potential after World War II. With reference to lines from Walt Whitman\u2019s poem \u201cSong of Myself\u201d (first published in 1855), Lewis commented on his own time and the productive complications his socially engaged abstraction brought to American painting at this moment: \u201cDo I contradict myself? / Very well then I contradict myself, / (I am large, I contain multitudes.).\u201d This work is on view in Gallery 262.   Charles White   Born and educated in Chicago, Charles White was one of the preeminent artists to emerge during the city\u2019s Black Renaissance of the 1930s and \u201940s. As a child, White sketched in the galleries of the Art Institute of Chicago and in high school earned a scholarship to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. White believed that art could be a force in promoting racial equality: \u201cPaint is the only weapon I have with which to fight what I resent.\u201d In This, My Brother , White depicts a man with outstretched hands emerging from a demolished structure. The artwork title comes from a 1936 novel about a rural white miner who, after a political awakening, joins the proletarian struggle against capitalism; in his depiction, White transforms the protagonist into a Black man who breaks free from a mountain of rubble, a hopeful image of the possibility of social change. This work is on view in Gallery 262.   Norman Teague   Norman Teague is a Chicago-based designer and educator whose practice focuses on the complexity of urbanism and uses design as a mechanism to empower black and brown communities. His projects range from a collaboration with Theaster Gates and John Preus for dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel, Germany, to a 2017 contribution to the Chicago Cultural Center exhibition Wall of Respect: Vestiges, Shards, and Legacy of Black Power exploring the legacy of a seminal 1967 mural developed by black artists in Chicago\u2019s South Side communities. Teague\u2019s Sinmi stool takes its title from the word \u201crelax\u201d in the African language of Yoruba. This sleek seating in plywood and rubber was inspired by the American rocking chair as well as the relaxed positions\u2014straddling, sitting, or perching\u2014commonly assumed when lounging and socializing on city streets. This work is on view in Gallery 285.   Charles Harrison   One of the most prominent African American designers in modern history\u2014and a SAIC graduate\u2014Charles Harrison designed over 750 objects during his 32-year career at the Chicago-based retailer Sears, Roebuck, and Co.\u2014sewing machines, hair dryers, kitchen appliances, lawn mowers, and many other goods. One transformative early project was his acclaimed 1959 redesign for the popular toy View-Master, a stereoscope device originally introduced at the 1939 New York World\u2019s Fair and used by the military in WWII. Harrison\u2019s updated\u2014and now iconic\u2014model replaced the dark brown, blocky unit with lightweight, brightly colored, injection-molded plastic, making the device less costly and easier to use, especially for children. This work is on view in Gallery 285.   Joshua Johnson   The first known African American painter to gain professional recognition in the United States, Joshua Johnson had trained as a blacksmith before being freed by his enslaver (and father) in 1782. Johnson worked throughout the Baltimore area as both a portraitist and limner (someone who decorates manuscripts), advertising himself as \u201cself-taught\u201d in the city\u2019s newspapers. Among the more than 80 paintings attributed to Johnson is this one of Elizabeth Beatty and her daughter, both fashionably dressed. The child holds a brightly colored strawberry, a delicacy often featured in Johnson\u2019s portraits. This work is on view in Gallery 161. ",

        "copy": " Margaret Burroughs and the South Side Community Art Center   In addition to being a writer, visual artist, and educator, Margaret Burroughs (1917\u20132010) was also an institution-builder who believed in the importance of Black-centered spaces. At 23 years old, Burroughs cofounded the South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) in the South Side Chicago neighborhood of Bronzeville, which continues to thrive today as the oldest Black arts center in the US. In 1961, Burroughs also helped establish the DuSable Museum of African American History, which began in the living room of her Bronzeville home before moving south to its current location in Washington Park.   Since its founding in 1941, the South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) has fostered an environment in which Black artists can proudly share their work and community members can easily engage with art. This exhibition pamphlet exemplifies the types of educational arts programs that the center has historically offered for adults and children. Black artists from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago often taught classes at SSCAC, sharing their knowledge and resources with South Side residents.   Isobel Neal Gallery   In 1986, former Chicago public school teacher Isobel Neal opened the Isobel Neal Gallery. Neal's prior involvement with the South Side Community Center led her to identify that Black artists in Chicago struggled to find gallery representation, and so she devoted her gallery to the exhibition of work by Black artists. The space became widely known and was especially cherished by Chicago\u2019s Black community. In 1996 Mae Jemison, the first Black woman astronaut to travel to outer space\u2014photographed here with Neal\u2014selected the gallery to host her homecoming reception over other prominent Chicago venues, including Navy Pier.   Located in Chicago\u2019s River North neighborhood, the Isobel Neal Gallery exhibited both established and emerging Black artists, including artists that have since gained a national reputation such as Charles White , Ed Clark , Norman Lewis , Phoebe Beasley, and Elizabeth Catlett \u2014shown here in the exhibition program for \u201cIn the Hemisphere of Love.\u201d Following the gallery\u2019s closure after ten years of operation, many of these artists went on to show their work in other galleries and museums throughout Chicago and the country. Even after closing the gallery, Neal continued to support the arts through independent curating and civic leadership roles at the Art Institute of Chicago.   Artemisia Gallery   Founded and maintained by women graduate students from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), some pictured here, Artemisia Gallery opened in 1973, mere weeks after the women-run ARC gallery opened across the hall in the same building. The SAIC group named their gallery after the 17th-century painter Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the few women artists in Italy during that period; her work often illustrated strong female figures. The gallery functioned as a feminist cooperative\u2014a space run by and for women with the aim of disrupting the patriarchal art world.   At Artemisia Gallery, women artists developed their skills, experimented with processes, and built community. The gallery promoted radical political perspectives through exhibitions that addressed domestic violence, protested US imperialism in Central America and the Carribean, and expanded the visibility of Indigenous American women painters, among other efforts. It also fostered experimentation with artistic and display practices through programming that included the Mixing Women in Sound Art Festival (album and poster art shown here) which brought women sound artists from across the globe to participate in Chicago\u2019s art scene.   ARC Gallery   ARC Gallery\u2014which stands for Artists, Residents, Chicago\u2014opened in 1973 as one of the city\u2019s first art spaces managed completely by women, and it continues to operate as a female artists\u2019 cooperative today. The founding members, pictured above, came from various artistic backgrounds and were frustrated with the structural barriers that prevented women artists from thriving in Chicago. ARC\u2019s mission was to provide women with mentorship and practical resources for artistic success.   Three years after ARC first opened, it relocated, along with Artemisia Gallery, to Hubbard Street, a thriving hub for alternative art galleries during the 1970s. That same year, ARC created an additional venue named RAW Space, which offered a platform for installation artists. Today, RAW Space serves as an incubator where artists can apply to rent the venue for installation and performance projects.   \"Highlights of Women-Made Chicago Art Spaces\" was curated by Kayleigh Doyen and Isabella Ko, 2018\u20132020 Andrew W. Mellon Undergraduate Curatorial Fellows at the Art Institute of Chicago. ",

            "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.

        "web_url": "https://www.artic.edu/digital-publications/34/malangatana-mozambique-modern/1/directors-foreword",
        "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 ",

In her essays, Jean Goldman assesses the collection within the context of Mannerism and the role of drawing in the business of art. She and Nicolas Schwed coauthored detailed entries on the works\u2019 attributions, subjects, and functions, complete with documentation including provenance, bibliography, exhibition history, and comparative illustrations. The catalogue presents the work of more than forty artists, some of whom, such as Giorgio Vasari and Pietro da Cortona, were major figures, and others who were virtually unknown. Together, these magnificent works trace the rise and evolution of Mannerism in Italy.

The essays situate Whistler's work in lithography within a broader art-historical context. Volume II features transcriptions of more than 170 letters exchanged between Whistler and his London printers, Thomas Way and T. R. Way. Also included are a discussion of Whistler's lithographic techniques and an illustrated chronological account of the artist's marketing strategies. A compilation of watermarks reproduces at actual size those found in lithographs printed in Whistler's lifetime and posthumously.
