The West had been won. The historian Frederick Jackson Turner put it best when in 1893 he proclaimed: “And now, four centuries from the discovery of America, at the end of a hundred years of life under the Constitution, the frontier has gone, and with its going has closed the first period of American history.” Long understood as a geographically remote wilderness where the epic struggle between “civilized” and “savage” would determine the fate of America’s future, suddenly the frontier defined the nation’s past.

  • City of Chicago Public Art Guide
    THE CHICAGO PUBLIC ART GUIDE DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS AND SPECIAL EVENTS CITY OF CHICAGO MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL THE CHICAGO PUBLIC ART GUIDE DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS AND SPECIAL EVENTS CITY OF CHICAGO MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL 2 Dear Friends: This brochure celebrates 35+ years of work by the Chicago Public Art Program and offers a brief introduction to the wealth of art that can be experienced in Chicago. We invite you to use this brochure as a guide to explore the city’s distinguished public art collection, which can be found in the Loop and throughout our historic neighborhoods. Downtown Chicago is home to more than 100 sculptures, mosaics, and paintings placed in plazas, lobbies, and on the Riverwalk. The dedication of the huge sculpture by Pablo Picasso in 1967 confirmed that Chicago was a city for the arts. Since then, major works by Alexander Calder, Sir Anthony Caro, Sol LeWitt, Richard Hunt, and Ellen Lanyon, among others, have been added to this free open-air museum. The mission of DCASE is to enrich Chicago’s artistic vitality and cultural vibrancy. The primary method through which the City of Chicago’s Public Art Collection grows, the Percent-for-Art Program allocates 1.33 percent of the construction budget for new public buildings to the commissioning and acquisition of artwork. In libraries, police stations and senior centers, artwork is chosen and placed with ongoing community involvement. As you travel around the city, I hope you’ll take the time to enjoy the many treasures on display in these facilities and within our neighborhoods.
