Member Lecture: Christina Ramberg—A Retrospective
Published 2024-06-20
Christina Ramberg was a central figure in the contemporary Chicago art world. Her brief but succinct corpus straddled figuration and abstraction across a range of media. In addition to drawing, painting, printmaking, and quilting, Ramberg was also a note-taker, slide-maker, collector, and diarist. Thea Liberty Nichols, associate research curator in Modern and Contemporary Art and co-curator of the exhibition Christina Ramberg: A Retrospective, explores Ramberg’s informal archive of ephemera and illustrates how she digested and altered an enormous breadth of source material to create work that has both inspired and anticipated current artistic trends.
