Art Institute hopes to broaden its scope

The Art Institute has opened this little gallery off its American wing and announced its intention to incorporate more folk art into its collection. The museum is still considering when and how to provide details on this. (Neil Steinberg/Sun-Times)
Vernacular art is closely tied to place, such as this familiar backyard, probably in Lakeview, painted in 1940 by Danish immigrant Torvalt Arnt Hoyer and titled, aptly, “My Backyard.” (Photo by Neil Steinberg)

This has been a good year for me and major museums.
