Christina Ramberg (1946–1995) was an influential and beloved member of Chicago’s contemporary art scene. Christina Ramberg: A Retrospective—the first comprehensive exhibition devoted to Ramberg in almost 30 years—presents approximately 100 works from public and private collections, with several key pieces drawn from the Art Institute’s collection.

From intimate early paintings focused on the pattern and form of women’s hairstyles and garments, to mature work featuring cropped female torsos in lingerie that contains and restrains, the exhibition presents her most iconic imagery while grappling with all phases and elements of Ramberg’s continually evolving career, including her last geometric abstractions and her quilting practice.

In this conversation, artists Julia Fish and Rebecca Shore and critic Judith Russi Kirshner explore the continuing importance of Ramberg’s wide-ranging artistic practices, moderated by curator Thea Liberty Nichols.

Support for this program is provided by the Allan McNab Endowed Fund.

Meet in Fullerton Hall. Free. Registration required.
