Drawing, Chicago
This is a Drawing. It was created by Anthony Baus. It is dated 2021 and we acquired it in 2022. Its medium is pen and sepia ink, sepia, grey and sienna wash on paper. It is a part of the department.
In “Chicago,” Anthony Baus fuses his personal experience of architectural salvage (fragments retrieved from buildings) with the style of Baroque genre scenes. The ornamental architectural structures in the drawing are the designs of architect Louis Sullivan (American, 1856—1924), but have been reassembled in unfamiliar formats. In this fantasy of fragments of time, Baus ruminates not only on his own position in the world, but also on the design of the past, present, and future.
It is credited Museum purchase from General Acquisitions Endowment Fund.
Its dimensions are
H x W: 53.3 × 71.1 cm (21 × 28 in.)
