The most recent expansion, the Modern Wing designed past Renzo Pianoforte, opened in 2009 and increased the museum's footprint to nearly one 1000000 square feet, making it the second-largest art museum in the U.s.a., after the Metropolitan Museum of Art.^[four] The Art Institute is associated with the Schoolhouse of the Art Constitute of Chicago, a leading art school, making it one of the few remaining unified arts institutions in the United States.

History [edit]

In 1866, a group of 35 artists founded the Chicago University of Design in a studio on Dearborn Street, with the intent to run a free school with its own art gallery. The organisation was modeled after European fine art academies, such every bit the Regal Academy, with Academicians and Associate Academicians. The Academy's lease was granted in March 1867.

Classes started in 1868, meeting every mean solar day at a toll of $10 per month. The Academy'south success enabled it to build a new home for the school, a five-story stone building on 66 West Adams Street, which opened on November 22, 1870.

When the Dandy Chicago Fire destroyed the building in 1871 the Academy was thrown into debt. Attempts to continue despite the loss by using rented facilities failed. By 1878, the Academy was $10,000 in debt. Members tried to rescue the ailing institution by making deals with local businessmen, before some finally abandoned it in 1879 to constitute a new organization, named the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. When the Chicago Academy of Blueprint went bankrupt the same year, the new Chicago Academy of Fine Arts bought its avails at auction.

In 1882, the Chicago University of Fine Arts changed its name to the current Art Found of Chicago and elected as its commencement president the banker and philanthropist Charles L. Hutchinson, who "is arguably the single most important private to have shaped the direction and fortunes of the Art Institute of Chicago".^{[7] : five} Hutchinson was a manager of many prominent Chicago organizations, including the Academy of Chicago,^[8] and would transform the Art Institute into a world-class museum during his presidency, which he held until his decease in 1924.^[nine] Also in 1882, the organization purchased a lot on the southwest corner of Michigan Avenue and Van Buren Street for $45,000. The existing commercial building on that property was used for the organization's headquarters, and a new addition was synthetic behind it to provide gallery infinite and to house the school's facilities.^{[7] : xix} By January 1885 the trustees recognized the demand to provide boosted infinite for the organization's growing drove, and to this end purchased the vacant lot directly southward on Michigan Avenue. The commercial building was demolished,^[ten] and the noted architect John Wellborn Root was hired past Hutchinson to design a building that would create an "impressive presence" on Michigan Avenue,^{[seven] : 22–23} and these facilities opened to corking fanfare in 1887.^{[seven] : 24}

With the announcement of the World's Columbian Exposition to exist held in 1892–93, the Art Institute pressed for a edifice on the lakefront to be synthetic for the fair, only to be used by the Institute later. The metropolis agreed, and the edifice was completed in time for the second year of the fair. Construction costs were met by selling the Michigan/Van Buren property. On October 31, 1893, the Establish moved into the new edifice. For the opening reception on Dec 8, 1893, Theodore Thomas and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed.
