Overview:
London-based artist Roger Hiorns’s captivating sculptural objects,
installations, and performances exploit unusual materials to disquieting
ends. Among the artist’s principal preoccupations is the form of the
engine—extracted from both automobiles and airplanes. In the most

Roger Hiorns's Untitled (Alliance) installed on
the Modern Wing's Bluhm Family Terrace.
For his commissioned site-specific project on the
Bluhm Family Terrace of the Modern Wing, Hiorns presents two Pratt

Moroccans, as among his most pivotal. These monumental canvases
from the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of
Modern A

comprises four large-scale allegorical works, which memorably explore
the positive forces of the human spirit in the face of destruction.
Cayley Robinson (1862–1927) is one of the most distinctive and yet
elusive British painters of the early 20th century. Essentially a
British Symbolist, Robinson created a striking variety of mood and
atmosphere in his paintings to evoke complex emotional responses
