We expect high traffic this weekend because of Día de Muertos. If the Museum experiences long lines and crowded galleries, last entry to the museum may be as early as 4:00 pm. Thank you for your understanding.
Errol Ortiz is a Chicago-based painter whose work is influenced by current events and social movements. In 1963 after returning from six months in Mexico, Ortiz met Don Baum in and became part of a group of artists called the Chicago Imagists. Like many in the group, his style incorporates elements of comic books, puzzles, and pop culture. The NMMA hosted his first-ever museum solo exhibition De vuelta: Works by Chicago Imagist Errol Ortiz in 2015.
