Luc Tuymans at Chicago's MCA: I Could Have Read a Book Instead (Part One)
Gaining entrance to the system of American museums is the mark of an artist being broadly accepted either as a universal talent or a universal consternation. Belgium’s Luc Tuymans is generally thought to be both.
His works have been collected in a few one-man shows in Europe, but this current collection of paintings housed at Chicago’s MCA from October of this year through January 9th, mark Tuymans’ first Stateside retrospective.
