Robert and Joan Feitler Gallery
The Smart Museum’s contemporary collection emphasizes two central threads in recent art: the persistence of figurative traditions and the emergence of conceptual or idea-based art. The collection also includes many artists with strong ties to Chicago.
From February 16 to June 10, a portion of the exhibition Feast: Radical Hospitality in Contemporary Art will be on view in the contemporary gallery.
