CORNER OF ROOM-ARCHITECTURAL EXHIBITION

COMING EXHIBITIONS

AT the conclusion of the current exhibitions by the Palette and Chisel Club, the Art Students'

League of Chicago and Stanislaw Szu-

kalski, two exhibitions will be installed, to remain from May II until June 7. These will be a special exhibition of

paintings by William Ritschel and the annual display of American water

colors, pastels and miniatures, which will include the "rotary exhibition" of water colors and miniatures of the American Water Color Society. The display of water colors, which is always important, promises from all advance information obtainable to be of excep- tional importance this season. The

twenty-five canvases in Mr. Ritschel's

vigorous manner are also awaited with much interest. Following these two ex- hibitions will be the annual showing of work by students of the Art Institute.

Finally, from July II to August 15, a

large selection of works from the Swed- ish section at the Panama-Pacific Inter- national Exposition will be on view.

In addition to these representative ex-

hibitions, there will be shown as usual

during the summer months portions of

private collections owned in Chicago. It is planned to remove from Room 43 the modern French paintings of the

Ryerson collection and hang them in Room 28, in order to group them with the old masters and primitives belong- ing to Mr. Ryerson, in Rooms 30 and 31.

management is to be congratulated upon the successful termination of the work.

The building, which is of marble con-

struction, classic in design, is three hun- dred feet long and one hundred and

thirty feet in width. It consists of a base-

ment, a ground floor-comprising ex- ecutive and utility rooms-and an upper floor for exhibition galleries. Plans for this building were drawn by the Cleve- land firm of Hubbell & Benes.

Among the sources of income for the

enlargement of the collections are the

Dudley P. Allen Fund, left last Septem- ber for the "purchase of works of art," and an anonymous gift of $50,000 for the purchase of oriental art, to which is added an endowment of $Ioo,ooo. In

carrying out the Allen bequest, although no restrictions were specified, it will be the policy of the museum to favor the

purchase of representative American art.
