This exhibition tells stories of self-invention in photography, drawing, and sculpture, most of them from artists working beyond the gallery and museum system that typically validates creative work. The artworks gathered reflect the egalitarian, broad-minded vision of Richard and Ellen Sandor, who in 1978 moved into a spacious, historic apartment in Chicago with—to quote from the book that accompanies this exhibition—“two kids in tow, a photograph by Walker Evans, and a sculpture by Rodin.
