5 works across 1 institution

Chicago's Art Institute of Chicago holds 5 works by Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Kandinsky was among the first painters to make fully abstract works, and his canvases — dense with colour, form, and energy — make a compelling case for abstraction as a form of feeling. In person, the scale and vibrancy of his major paintings is difficult to convey in reproduction.
