CHICAGO, IL.- The first U.S. retrospective of the work of Belgian contemporary artist Luc Tuymans — and the most comprehensive presentation of his work to date — is on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago from October 2, 2010 through January 9, 2011. Jointly organized by SFMOMA and the Wexner Center for the Arts, Luc Tuymans features approximately 75 key paintings from 1978 to the present and reunites works from important series as initially set out by the artist, thus restoring intended dialogue among the works. This retrospective is co-curated by Madeleine Grynsztejn, Pritzker Director of the MCA, and Helen Molesworth, Chief Curator at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Boston, and the Chicago presentation is coordinated by MCA Pamela Alper Associate Curator Julie Rodrigues Widholm.
