Second Sight: Printmaking in Chicago 1935-1995 is the product of a long interest at the museum in the research and collecting of works from the history of the arts of Chicago. It is being presented from the history of the arts in Chicago. It is being presented for one of the most traditional of curatorial agendas: for it reveals an understudied and fascinating subject, filled with artists and objects whose accomplishments and excellence deserve the widest recognition. If, as can be argued, Chicago is the best kept secret in modern art, then printmaking in Chicago is the double-hushed secret deeply embedded within that.
