Artworks include William Hawkins’ monumental Statute of Liberty (1986); work from an artist-built environment by Emery Blagdon; sculpture by Kevin Sampson and work Lonnie Holley made during a 2007 residency at IAM; paintings and works on paper by Howard Finster, Sister Gertrude Morgan, Martín Ramírez and Nellie Mae Rowe; and a recent commission by Milwaukee-based artist Della Wells.
The exhibition acknowledges significant work made by Chicago-based artists such as William Dawson, Lee Godie, Mr. Imagination, Roman Villarreal, Wesley Willis and Joseph Yoakum. Additional works from the collection may be seen on view in Henry Darger: The Room Revealed and Catalyst: Im/migration and Self-taught Art in Chicago.
