The Art Institute of Chicago is pleased to announce its exhibition schedule for the first half of 2025.

• Lines of Connection: Drawing and Printmaking (March 15–June 1, 2025) - Bringing together approximately 100 works spanning four centuries between the emergence of printmaking in Europe and the birth of photography, Lines of Connection is the first major exhibition dedicated to the intimate and multilayered relationship between drawing and printmaking. 

• Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection (March 15–June 29, 2025) - This groundbreaking project will serve as the inaugural presentation of objects from the storied Torlonia Collection in North America. Featuring a selection of 58 rarely seen ancient Roman sculptures, nearly half of which have been newly cleaned, conserved, and studied specifically for this exhibition, Myth and Marble will offer a rare opportunity to experience their first public presentation in decades.

• En el principio / In the beginning: Juliana Góngora Rojas, Matías Quintero Sepúlveda, Juven Piranga Valencia and Yinela Piranga Valencia (March 29–July 28, 2025) - This exhibition features a number of works resulting from a longstanding artistic and spiritual collaboration between Colombian artists Juliana Góngora Rojas and Matías Quintero Sepúlveda, and Juven and Yinela Piranga. Through ongoing discussions, rituals, and the engagement with organic materials, the artists produced an immersive installation that honors their shared ideas about creation, care, and collective thought.

• Frida Kahlo's Month in Paris: A Friendship with Mary Reynolds (March 29–July 13, 2025) - Drawing upon the museum's rich holdings of The Mary Reynolds Collection along with loans from public and private collections, this is the Art Institute's first presentation of Frida Kahlo's work. Focusing on Kahlo's brief stay with avant-garde bookbinder Mary Reynolds in 1939 Paris, this exhibition examines the iconic Mexican artist's work among a cast of characters and recounts the legacy of two women navigating Surrealism, identity, and cross-cultural exchange on the eve of World War II.

• Gustave Caillebotte: Painting His World (June 29–October 5, 2025) - Gustave Caillebotte: Painting His World takes a fresh look at some of Gustave Caillebotte's most iconic paintings, contextualizing them within the various aspects of his life that comprised his perception of manhood in the French Third Republic. This exhibition will be the first time the artist's work will be examined through the lens of fraternité—the sense of brotherhood he experienced with the friends and family who were often the subjects of his paintings, as well as other groups of men, including urban laborers, suburban gardeners, and boatmen, who made up his world.
