"Capturing the interplay between steel, light, and urban living, this photographic survey re-evaluates the mid-century modern aesthetic that defines the Chicago architectural tradition."

About

The Art Institute of Chicago presents a comprehensive retrospective of urban photography focusing on the city's unique architectural language. From early black-and-white documentation to contemporary color studies, the exhibition highlights how photographers have navigated the intersections of public space, density, and local history. The collection features iconic street photography and abstract studies of skyscraper motifs that characterize the persistent ingenuity of the American heartland.
