Title: Egon Weiner art exhibit, Metallurgical and Chemical Engineering Building, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois, 1949

Show morePhotograph of an exhibit of sculptures from Chicago artist Egon Weiner inside and in front of the Metallurgical and Chemical Engineering Building (now Perlstein Hall) on the Illinois Institute of Technology campus. The attached caption reads: "The sculpture of Egon Weiner, well-known Chicago artist, on display November 28 through December 10 (1949) in the first floor lobby of the Metallurgical and Chemical Engineering building. This is the first of a series of six art exhibits sponsored by the Institute during 1949-50." The caption is dated January 6, 1950, though the caption's text indicates that the show was on display through December 10, so it is likely that the photograph was taken in late November or December 1949, rather than the January 1950 date included with the caption.
