Thomas Struth German, born 1954
Art Institute of Chicago II, Chicago
1990
Thomas Struth's 'Art Institute of Chicago II, Chicago' (1990) is from his 'Museum Photographs' series, in which visitors contemplate paintings in front of Caillebotte's 'Paris Street; Rainy Day' in the very gallery where the photograph itself now hangs. A chromogenic print mounted on acrylic, it is one of the defining images of Struth's inquiry into museum spectatorship.
