Book excerpt: In 1997 the Art Institute acquired from Lannan Foundation over one hundred important works of modern and contemporary art, a significant addition to one of the world's finest collections of twentieth-century art. The Lannan acquisitions include major examples of post-World War II Modernism, Abstract Expressionism, and installation art of the 1990s; of particular significance is a group of ten paintings, nine prints, and three photographs by the German artist Gerhard Richter. This issue of Museum Studies features entries on thirty-five works by artists such as Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, Richter, Bruce Nauman, Lucas Samaras, Chuck Close, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, accompanied by full-page color plates. The issue also includes an introductory essay by Jeremy Strick, former Frances and Thomas Dittmer Curator of Twentieth-Century Painting and Sculpture at the Art Institute, on the history of the collection; as well as a complete illustrated checklist of the Lannan acquisitions.
