For the Love of Japanese Prints: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Art Institute of Chicago

Frank Lloyd Wright’s activities as a promoter of Japanese prints had a lasting impact on Chicago, and this is very much in evidence in the Art Institute’s collection. In this Fine Arts Society lecture, Janice A. Katz, Associate Curator of Japanese Art at the Art Institute of Chicago, will present her research into Wright’s role in building the museum’s collection, the landmark exhibition he designed in 1908, and the drawings done by Wright and his studio. Social time at 9:30 AM. Program begins at 10:00 AM. Peoria Riverfront Museum, lower-level auditorium. Admission is $12 for adults, $5 for students.
