Charles Ray: Sculpture, 1997–2014

The first major exhibition devoted to celebrated Chicago-born, Los Angeles–based sculptor Charles Ray since a midcareer retrospective in 1998, this display fills the second floor of the Modern Wing with 19 works and flows into the museum’s gardens with an additional two, presenting a full range of Ray’s most recent achievements with particular emphasis on figurative experiments. The exhibition, co-organized by the Art Institute and the Kunstmuseum Basel, can only be seen in the United States at the Art Institute, and six sculptures—including four new works in their museum debut: Horse and Rider, Huck and Jim, Dog (Silver), and Girl on Pony—are on view only in Chicago.
