Volume 19, no. 1 (Spring 1993)
Edited By Susan Rossen
The Art Institute of Chicago Museum Studies, published twice annually, presents articles on the collections and history of the Art Institute. This issue is devoted entirely to the history of the Art Institute, and commemorates the museum’s hundredth year in its permanent home. One essay discusses the revolutionary 1913 Armory Show and its tumultuous effect on Chicago. Another essay explores the trailblazing career of Daniel Catton Rich, the distinguished director of the Art Institute from 1938 to 1958. A third essay examines the groundbreaking exhibition of the Arensberg Collection of modern art at the Art Institute in 1949. This issue also features a duotone section of archival photographs documenting the history of the museum from 1893 to 1933.
