We’re excited to announce that the Museum is acquiring “Corolla” (2022) by Michelle S. Cho, thanks to the generosity of the Northern Trust Purchase Prize at EXPO CHICAGO. “The Museum is delighted to bring this extraordinary piece into its collection,” said Margaret Andera, Senior Curator of Contemporary Art. “The sculpture’s pearlescent materiality—Cho’s source materials, her use of pewter—evokes dialogue about consumer culture, the environment, and obsolescence. It will be an exemplary complement to both the contemporary art and design collections.” “Thanks to Northern Trust, EXPO CHICAGO, and Fragment Gallery for providing the Milwaukee Art Museum with the opportunity to invest in emerging artist Michelle S. Cho at a significant moment in her career,” said Liz Siegel, Chief Curator. https://lnkd.in/gDfX9eis
