CHICAGO, IL.- The Art Institute of Chicago announced its exhibition schedule for the first half of 2024.

This exciting lineup will spotlight works across mediums—from textiles to photography to painting—across geographies—from iconic Chicago artists to emerging global names—and across time periods—from ancient practices to contemporary art. These presentations will culminate in a fresh take on artist Georgia O’Keeffe’s lesser-known urban landscapes to kick off the summer.

May 11–August 26, 2024
This exhibition examines four local icons in the Chicago art scene. Each artists’ aesthetic is illustrated within the exhibition through drawings, sketchbooks, prints, photograms, quilts and ephemera, which nevertheless share a reliance on authenticity, internal vision, and the ability to translate feeling into form with clarity and directness.

Georgia O’Keeffe: “My New Yorks”
June 2–September 22, 2024
This is the first show to seriously examine Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings, drawings, and pastels of urban landscapes. This exhibition will also situate her urban works in the diverse context of her other compositions of the 1920s and early 1930s. O’Keeffe’s “New Yorks” are essential to understanding how she became the artist we know today.
