From May 30 to June 6, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presents a special public exhibition of works available in their 2025 Art Auction. This exclusive viewing offers a rare opportunity to see remarkable contemporary pieces, including new work by Ed Ruscha and others.
The MCA has had the distinct pleasure of participating in Ruscha’s rise over the decades, starting in 1988 with Ed Ruscha: Recent Paintings and again in 2000 with the major exhibition Ed Ruscha, which cemented his status as an important international figure in contemporary art. Now, in celebration of that exhibition’s 25th anniversary, the museum is thrilled to name Ruscha as the 2025 Art Auction Honoree, underscoring an incredible, decades-long relationship between institution and artist.
Additional artists featured include: Igshaan Adams, John Ahearn, Farah Al Qasimi, Candida Alvarez, Janine Antoni, Leonor Antunes, Selva Aparicio, Edgar Arceneaux, Nairy Baghramian, Raphaël Barontini, Firelei Báez, Math Bass, Kevin Beasley, Lynda Benglis, Margot Bergman, Sara Berman, Sanford Biggers, Phyllis Bramson, Feliza Bursztyn, Leyla Cardenas, Judy Chicago, Tony Cokes, Anne Collier, Tania Pérez Córdova, Petra Cortright, Julien Creuzet, Sarah Crowner, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Julie Curtiss, Jamal Cyrus, Alex Da Corte, Cynthia Daignault, Leonardo Drew, Carroll Dunham, Torkwase Dyson, Nicole Eisenman, Edie Fake, Amir H.
