Ruth Duckworth: Life as a Unity

Explore the art of sculptor Ruth Duckworth (1919–2009) through an exhibition featuring large-scale clay-tile murals in high relief, bird-like stoneware figures, and porcelain sculptures created during her nearly half-century-long career in Chicago. The exhibition repositions Duckworth as a pioneering modernist deeply engaged in the natural world. The exhibition is part of Art Design Chicago, a series of events and exhibitions taking place through 2025, highlighting the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities.
