The Art Institute of Chicago Going deep into Man Ray's Chess Set, even though Duchamp called him a "third-rate wood pusher". . .

I enjoy playing chess, so one of my favorite objects in the Art Institute’s collection is the Man Ray Chess Set, in Gallery 396B in the Modern Wing.

Hi From Spain!! I was there in April and I enjoyed so much. It really liked me. I hope someone can help me to find a picture I saw in the Art Institute. His name is something like "The Dance of Ghost" or "The Ghost's Dance". I can't remember exactly. I think it was at "american art before 1900" zone, maybe It is betwe...en the galleries 172-176. Thanks in advance. Muchas Gracias!!Read More

I am a student at the UChicago doing ethnographic research at the Art Institute. I am looking for participants in mini-interviews conducted over facebook. If you are interested, please send me a message. They will be brief. I am focusing specifically on the American modern section, even more specifically on the Nau...man and Kelly galleries, tho familiarity with these rooms is not necessary to the interviews. All responses are much appreciated. Thank you!Read More
