With multimedia works made between 1964 and 2024, this solo show is the largest presentation of the Chicago native’s work to date and brings together a selection of Paige’s fabrics and textile work, and rarely seen drawings, assemblages, and ceramic objects that explore the artist’s lifelong quest for beauty. A highlight of the exhibition is the debut of recent clay, wall/floor paintings, and collage made during his Radicle Residency at Hyde Park Art Center in 2022-23.

A leading figure of the New York art world in the 1950s and ’60s, Chryssa developed an innovative approach to activating sculptural surfaces through subtle manipulations of light and shadow. Pathbreaking in its use of signage, text, and neon, her vastly underrecognized body of work bridges Pop, Conceptual, and Minimalist ideas of art making.</p><p><strong>Wrightwood 659</strong></p><p>May 3–July 27, 2024 • <a href=\"https://wrightwood659.org\">wrightwood659.org</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419314/gqajxzhjucp4i9yntol8.jpg\"><figcaption>Georgia O’Keeffe.

The presentation establishes these works not as outliers or anomalous to her practice, but rather as entirely integral to her modernist investigation in the 1920s. O’Keeffe’s “New Yorks” are essential to understanding how she became the artist we know today.</p><p><strong>Art Institute of Chicago</strong></p><p>June 2–Sept 22, 2024 • <a
