This exhibit illustrates the important contributions by the architect Crombie Taylor, photographer Aaron Siskind, and IIT’s Institute of Design in the early 1950s – with work that formed a revolutionary impact on our understanding of Louis Sullivan, an architect of central importance to the history of American architecture in Chicago. It is the first remounting of Siskind’s 1954 Institute of Design photographic survey of Sullivan’s architecture and the first showing of Sullivan’s polychromatic Auditorium Building and Garrick Building stencils since the 1960s. Justine Jentes, director of the Mies van der Rohe Society, will give a brief talk about the exhibit. The beautifully restored Crown Hall makes a spectacular setting for this event.
Admission will be $5 at the door
