Robert Gober's 1989 Untitled sculpture acquired by Art Institute of Chicago

The Art Institute of Chicago has recently expanded its collection with the addition of Robert Gober's 1989 artwork, Untitled. This acquisition was made possible by a generous donation from the Stefan T. Edlis and H. Gael Neeson Foundation. Gober's mixed-media sculpture incorporates a variety of materials, including silk satin, muslin, and welded steel, among others. Support from Mr. and Mrs. Joel Starrels and Fowler McCormick also contributed to this addition. According to a piece published on November 5, 2014, in artcritical.com, this work is a significant enhancement to the museum's contemporary art holdings, showcasing a dedication to American art from the late 20th century.
