The 51st Annual Exhibition of American Painting and Sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago belongs to a long-running series that gave American artists a major public stage at a time when European work still dominated many collections. A place in the show could bring attention, sales and prizes. The museum's Michigan Avenue building began as a structure for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, which adds to its standing as a Chicago landmark. As a record, the exhibition shows which American painters and sculptors the institute chose to celebrate in its day.
