The Richard H. Driehaus Museum

Decking the Nickerson Mansion halls with ornament is a tradition cherished as much by the Driehaus Museum as it was by Americans back in the 1800s, after German immigrants introduced the idea of adorning a tree indoors with light and ornaments for Christmas. This year, it was particularly meaningful as we celebrated the late 19th century design innovation of Louis Sullivan's ornamental architecture situated within the Mansion's own aesthetic splendor.

To Sullivan, ornament represented the greatest potential of humanity. With that and the symbolism of the illuminated Christmas tree in mind, this holiday season - however, you decorate, however you celebrate - we wish for you the light to the path that leads you to your greatest possibilities ahead.

When we think about the holiday season, we must include today, December 21st…the winter equinox and the shortest day of the year. Around here it’s also known as the start of the unofficial countdown to spring!

To help us count the minutes, we refer to the many clocks here in the Nickerson Mansion, including this spring-hued and natured-inspired one by J. and J.G. Low Art Tile Works. Of note is the use of a ceramic facing for the dial with Arabic numerals, which add an eclectic dimension to the design. The clock’s Japanesque decoration is derived from nature, in keeping with tenets of the Aesthetic Movement (and, did we mention spring?).

Richard Nickel acquired this Hasselblad camera shortly after the demolition of the Garrick Building in 1961. It is his only surviving camera and one he used extensively in his documentation of the Chicago Stock Exchange. It’s on view now in our Second Floor Sitting Room.

We are commemorating the National Day of the Horse with this oil painting, Sir Galahad, which today hangs in our Drawing Room. Made between 1861-1892 by Pre-Raphaelite painter Arthur Hughes (1832-1915), it depicts Sir Galahad, a Knight of the Round Table and one of the three achievers of the Holy Grail, on his trusty brown steed. He’s being led to heaven by three angels.

The painting was first conceived in 1861 and subsequently abandoned by Hughes. He returned to this painting over thirty years later in 1892, motivated by the success of a separate painting of the same subject, Sir Galahad-The Quest for the Holy Grail. Inspired by the landscapes of Cumberland, England, Hughes went back to his original painting of the Arthurian legend, only to change the subject to the poem by John Keats, “La Belle Dame sans merci.” Hughes would not finish this painting himself, instead his son, painter Arthur Foord Hughes, would erase the “Belle Dame” figure and replace her with the angels seen today.

Despite the winter solstice occurring on December 21st, today marks the day Chicago has its earliest sunset. Daylight and sunlight chart a fascinating path through the Nickerson Mansion throughout the year. On a sunny afternoon in the late fall or early winter, for example, you can can see a delightful interplay of light and color that starts with our stained-glass windows on the second floor and moves across our bronze “Palace” Covered Vessel, circa 1893, down to the marble floor and then descends down to our First Floor Main Hall. These photographs document the light’s journey.

Did you know *this* about the "most famous reindeer of all"...
…before Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had his own song, he had his own story (well, more like a poem actually)
…that the story was written by Robert L. May, who moved to Chicago in the 1930s to work for Montgomery Ward
…that Montgomery Ward commissioned May to write the book for the 1939 holiday season
…that the book is written in rhymed verse, and tells a tale that transcends the song, with a far more poignant backstory about a little red-nosed reindeer who just did not fit in
…that the book is back in our Museum Store for the season
…and that we are open Wednesdays-Sundays through the start of the new year!

In honor of our first Tea in over three years (tickets are now sold out!), we’re taking a look at the Tiffany & Co. Coffee and Tea Service in our collection.

The set was showcased at the Tiffany & Co. exhibit at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition where it was on display with “many articles for household use, for presentation, ornament, and other purposes…..” Embellished with an intricate chrysanthemum pattern, it was created by Tiffany’s innovative designer, Charles T. Grosjean, around the year 1880. The pattern reflects the interest in Japanese culture and design prevalent in the period (in fact there are many chrysanthemum patterns throughout the Nickerson Mansion) and remained a popular pattern for Tiffany well into the 20th century.

: Who was Benjamin Lindauer, the man who owned this Adler & Sullivan house at 3312 S. Wabash Ave? The house was built in 1885 at the height of Lindauer’s professional success, and demolished in 1959... but not before Richard Nickel was able to preserve it in this photograph.

Born in Germany in 1839, Lindauer learned the clothing business from the ground up: first as a weaver and then running a textile factory owned by relatives. He emigrated to the United States and by age 20 was peddling goods between Chicago and Joliet. He eventually co-founded his own dry goods firm, Rohrbach, Lindauer & Company. The Great Chicago Fire devastated the business, but he relocated and rebuilt, helping to run one of the largest dealers of men’s goods in the west and employing over 400 people. Sadly, the company went bankrupt in 1888.

Just a few tickets are left for tonight’s lecture, What Use Are Old Buildings? Historic Preservation in 2022. Using Louis Sullivan’s south sides residences (since torn down) as our entry point, our panelists will examine how historical inequities impacted the architecture and social fabric of south and west side Chicago neighborhoods at the turn of the 20th century and on, and why preserving the urban fabric is so essential to preserving cultural memory and neighborhood vitality. Our panelists, Amber S. Hendley, Tonika Johnson, and Bonnie MacDonald Landmarks Illinois are experts in research, activism, and historic preservation.

Congratulations to Unyimeabasi Udoh, one of our 2020 A Tale of Today Fellows! They are opening their next show, Wayfinding, on Saturday, November 5 at LVL3 in Chicago. In it, Udoh reconsiders the guiding and commanding qualities of municipal signage. Continuing their ongoing interest in typesetting, their works expand on the legibility of symbols by complicating the presentation and materiality of recognizable objects. Through the reimagining of the familiar road signs, Udoh conjures a new understanding of the void as an emptying of everyday language to reckon with the strange banality of daily communication.

You can hear more from the artist, along with our other 2020 Fellows, in this conversation, recorded in the Nickerson Ballroom in April 2020. http://ow.ly/MHmL50Lsasg

It’s ! Please meet the Museum’s unofficial mascot. One of the most popular images from the late 19th century poster craze, Théophile Steinlen’s famous interpretation depicted the cat that roamed the streets of Montmartre and became the namesake of a popular Parisian cabaret. The black cat has been variously associated with bad luck, punishment, and seduction. But it also became a symbol of artistic freedom, thus making it the perfect name for a place that celebrated avant-garde culture. Jeannine Falino, the curator of our 2017 exhibition, L’Affichomania: The Passion for French Posters, discusses its origins here:

10/27/2022

Happy Autumn! This charming, scantily-clad Eros surrounded by an autumnal cornucopia is part of a larger band of tilework that adorns the monumental floor-to-ceiling mantlepiece in the Nickerson Mansion Reception Room. In the late 19th century, painted tilework became immensely popular in American domestic interiors—they were beautiful, often affordable, durable, and easy to clean. Most tiles were imported at the time, so the Nickersons would have hired brokers to find them the right tiles from Europe. This tile was produced by Minton China Works in England, and it’s one of several from Minton throughout the Nickerson Mansion.

The rest of the mantle, an Aesthetic Movement masterpiece, features a neo-Renaissance mosaic, extensive wood carvings including two ram’s heads, marquetry, and glazed tiles from the American Low Art Tile Works.

The tragic story of activist/photographer Richard Nickel is the highlight of a new exhibit at the The Richard H. Driehaus Museum. Yes, that's Nickel pictured salvaging ornament from a house about to be demolished.
Richard Nickel died while trying to preserve and document the architecture of Louis Sullivan. Now The Richard H. Driehaus Museum celebrates them both.

CHICAGO | Fri. June 24 - Chicagoans! Come join us at The Richard H. Driehaus Museum for a tour of 'Theodora Allen: Saturnine,' with Executive Director Anna Musci and the exhibition's curator, Stephanie Cristello.

The exhibition marks the latest iteration of the Museum’s newest initiative: A Tale of Today, which features work by leading contemporary artists to expand the immersive experience and to shape our understanding of the world through the art, architecture, design, and cultural history of the Nickerson Mansion, the Museum’s home. Curated by Stephanie Cristello, 'Theodora Allen: Saturnine' derives its title from figure of Saturn and its historical association with melancholy, often referred to as the curse of artists. Visitors to the Museum will see Allen’s luminous and meditative compositions, filled with a lexicon of snakes, planets, moons, and plant life – motifs that draw from ancient Greek mythology, literature, fin-de-siècle Europe, and the zeitgeist of 1960s California.
