For you Chicago MG readers, or anyone planning on visiting Chicago, a visit to the new Modern Wing at the Art Institute of Chicago is a must.  I recently made a visit and all I can say is WOW.  Not only does it house some of the most famous and recognized names and works in contemporary art, but The Terzo Piano designed structure is also a work of art in itself.  I  first visited at night for a dinner event touting the Cy Twombly exhibit (on display until October 11), and my second and most recent visit was on a crisp, clear beautiful day…a testament that this truly is a destination for all seasons and times of day or night.  If you get a chance, you must check it out!

Here are only a few of the many fabulous works showcased at the Modern Wing.  There are many, many more…

{Vasily Kandinsky, Improvisation No. 3 (Cannons) 1913}

{René Magritte, Time Transfixed, 1938}

{Gerhard Richter, Woman Descending the Staircase, 1965}

{Cy Twombly, Untitled, 2001}
