Mies Society Mission
The mission of the Mies Society is to preserve the architectural integrity of the Mies van der Rohe buildings, modernize the buildings' performance, enhance educational programs for students, and reinforce Chicago’s international reputation for architectural distinction. |
 |
| This exhibit illustrates the important contributions by the architect CROMBIE TAYLOR, photographer AARON SISKIND, AND IIT'S INSTITUTE OF DESIGN – in the early 1950s—work with revolutionary impact on our understanding of Louis Sullivan, an architect of central importance to the history of American architecture and Chicago. |
This exhibit is the first remounting of Siskind’s 1954 Institute of Design photographic survey of Sullivan’s architecture and the first showing of Sullivan’s polychromatic Auditorium Building and Garrick Building stencils since the 1960s. It coincides with the publication of co-curator Jeffrey Plank’s new book, Aaron Siskind and Louis Sullivan: The Institute of Design Photo Section Project.
