Art in Chicago, 1945-1995 examines the unique development of artistic traditions within the cultural, social, and political life of this quintessential American city during the second half of the twentieth century. Capturing the verve and innovation that characterized each decade, the book considers painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, and media arts (film, video, performance) by 150 artists who have either always lived and worked in Chicago or have created significant bodies of work in residence there. Among the artists profiled are Roger Brown, Harry Callahan, Ruth Duckworth, Jeanne Dunning, Leon Golub, Robert Heinecken, Richard Hunt, June Leaf, Kerry James Marshall, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Archibald J. Motley, Jr., Jim Nutt, Ed Paschke, Hirsch Perlman, Martin Puryear, Arnaldo Roche Rabell, Miroslaw Rogala, Alejandro Romero, Kay Rosen, Hollis Sigler, Aaron Siskind, Nancy Spero, Tony Tasset, H. C. Westermann, Claire Zeisler, and the Zhou Brothers. More than 170 color reproductions are set amidst a running timeline of historical events in both Chicago and beyond, and over 140 black-and-white photographs complement the text.

"The New Authentics" are twenty-first century American Jews. Curated by Spertus Museum Senior Curator Staci Boris, the exhibit and this accompanying catalogue, The New Authentics, explores contemporary notions of Jewish identity through the work of 16 artists living in the United States. Engaged in the global art community, these artists insert traces of, consciously draw from, or directly address their experiences as Jews, and they are brought together here for the first time in a Jewish context. Drawing on new sociological theories concerning postethnicity in general, "post-Jewish," as used here, emphasizes hybridity, challenging assumed cultural categories and fixed definitions. No longer identifying as victims or "others," the post-Jewish generation focuses on balancing lived experience with heritage in intellectual, artistic, and daily practices. Their work shows that these artists question dogma, scrutinize notions of home, redefine the ethnic body, process the trauma of the Holocaust in new ways, rethink rituals, proclaim their cultural multiplicity, and constantly grapple with the question of what it means to be Jewish today.Artists include:David Altmejd, Cheselyn Amato, Johanna Bresnick, Shoshana Dentz, Lilah Freedland, Matthew Girson, Karl Haendel, Laura Kina, Fawn, Krieger, Jin, Meyerson, Collier Schorr, Mindy Rose Schwartz, Ludwig Schwarz, Joel Tauber, Shoshanna Weinberger, and Jennifer Zackin.Essays by:* Stephen J.
