...The Rest of The Story

From: Bruce Goff at the Art Institute of Chicago
 

 

The first major show of the architect’s work in over 30 years, Bruce Goff: Material Worlds is drawn primarily from the Art Institute’s vast Bruce Goff collection and archive. The project features over 200 works, including spellbinding architectural drawings, elaborate architectural models, and a selection of Goff’s ambitious, little-known abstract paintings.

Her current work includes a long-term project on the Chicago Institute of Design, research on graphic and furniture design from the 1990s, and a multimedia retrospective on American architect Bruce Goff, opening at the Art Institute in 2025.
