AIC Prints & Drawings Gallery – a Flexible Exhibition Space

The first of seven galleries designed for the Art Institute of Chicago; this gallery was articulated by a series of simple planes that define the exhibit space and ceiling plane. A movable wall in the main gallery allows for flexible use of the space to accommodate various options for the display of the artwork. A simple palette of materials, colors, and detailing allows the artwork to be seen without distraction.
