CHICAGO, IL.- The Art Institute of Chicago, home of
one of the most comprehensive architecture archives and
photography
collections in the United States, has organized an innovative
exhibition
that explores the work of Louis Sullivan through the lenses of
legendary
photographers John Szarkowski, Aaron Siskind, and Richard Nickel.
These
photographers employed their cameras to document and interpret
Louis
Sullivan’s architecture and, in the process, helped shape his
legacy.
Showcasing more than 60 photographs, 20 Sullivan drawings and
sketches,
and terracotta and metal architectural fragments, Looking After
Louis
Sullivan: Photographs, Drawings, and Fragments—on view in
Photography
Galleries 1 and 2 and Architecture Gallery 24 through December 12,

2010—provides a rare opportunity to examine Sullivan’s structures
and
ornamental programs across a variety of media.
