Portrait Prints from Nolde to Dine: Selections from the Joseph P. Shure Collection

December 3, 1991–March 8, 1992

Joseph P. Shure, an alumnus of the University of Chicago, has been collecting 20th-century art for many years. Particularly interested in graphics, Mr. Shure has sought out the very direct and personal artistic statements which are possible in these often private media, and the seventeen portraits and self-portraits in this exhibition each presented considerations beyond mere physical appearances.

Portrait Prints from Nolde to Dine was guest-curated by Dennis Adrian, himself a University of Chicago alumnus and a collector of fine art.
