Free and open to the public
The Smart Museum of Art is temporarily closed for reinstallation. Please join us this spring when we re-open to the public with the exhibition Meiji Modern: Fifty Years of New Japan, March 21–June 9, 2024.
Haegue Yang’s newly commissioned artwork—the artist’s first large-scale installation in Chicago—dislodges venetian blinds from their typical function as window coverings to create a monumental white grid suspended in front of a soaring blue wall in the Smart Museum’s lobby.
The outdoor sculpture garden features work by Scott Burton, Jene Highstein, Richard Hunt, Arnaldo Pomodoro, and Richard Serra.
