Creativity & Connection (Hirmer/University of Chicago Press) highlights 100 diverse works from LUAG’s collection – pairing them with reflective essays by students, faculty, staff, artists, and community members. Illuminating the depth and evolving narrative of LUAG’s permanent collection – now spanning over 20,000 objects – this stunning coffee table-style art book brings to life iconic paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and material culture collected by LUAG over the past century.
