Curator Tour & Chat: "Edgar Miller: Anti-Modern, 1917-1967"

Edgar Miller (artist, craftsperson, curator, designer, illustrator) is probably best known for his "handmade homes" throughout Old Town and Lincoln Park. Paradoxically, Miller was aware of the rise of modern design and collaborated with Modernist architects; yet his own work reveals an individual unconcerned with trends, labels, or the tenets of modern art.
The DePaul Art Museum is mounting a new exhibition that explores all facets of Miller's career. Join exhibition curator and Docomomo US/Chicago Board member Dr. Marin R. Sullivan for a lively and insightful exploration of Edgar Miller's complex relationship to modern design.

Afterwards, we’ll continue the conversation at the Red Lion Pub located two blocks away, at 2446 N. Lincoln Ave. Cash bar, plenty of good company, and a chance to geek out with fellow Edgar Miller enthusiasts.

Space is limited for this tour. There is no admission charge to visit the DePaul Art Museum. Ticket sales for this tour help support Docomomo’s ongoing mission to celebrate modern design in Chicago.
