The exhibition of prints and objects is a critical reexamination of Hogarth's graphic art that introduces modern day visitors to a variety of themes that run through his work and remain timely to the contemporary viewer. The Sculpture Garden contains one of the major sculpture collections in this region and offers visitors an opportunity to view 20th century sculpture by well known artists such as Henry Moore, Joan Miro, Jacques Lipchitz, Jean Arp, Barbara Hepworth, Jean Ipousteguy, Arnoldo Pomodoro, Virginia Ferrari and Antoine Poncet. Each work is situated in a landscaped setting so that it can be appreciated alone or in relation to the surrounding landscape. It provides a creative way in which to become more familiar with some of the masterpieces of the visual arts. The Sculpture Garden is open year- round and admission is free.
Maps are available in the gallery.
The Block Gallery has no exhibitions scheduled for summer 1997. The art of the late Henry Simon of Evanston traces a path through the most important cultural, social and political developments of the 20th century. This display of more than 100 of Simon's paintings, prints, and photographs, organized by the Block Gallery, celebrates the development of Simon's art and presents the work of one of Chicago's most versatile artists. The gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily unless otherwise noted. Admission is free.
