Provenance:
The Art Institute of Chicago, 1990
The Art Institute of Chicago preserved fragments of Sullivan and Alder's stenciled frieze from the trading room of the Chicago Stock Exchange after its demolition in 1972. As part of a renewed focus on architectural preservation, the Institute utilized these panels in replicating the trading room in its new east wing. These stencils were later sold after the wing's 1977 unveiling.
