CAROLE FEUERMAN



MONUMENTS OF STILLNESS


Location: Magnificent Mile — N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago


Internationally acclaimed artist Carole Feuerman is now the subject of a major public exhibition along Chicago’s famed Magnificent Mile. Ten monumental swimmer sculptures have been installed at some of the city’s most iconic destinations, including the Wrigley Building, Chicago Tribune Building, The Shops at North Bridge, Water Tower Place, Neiman Marcus, and Vacheron Constantin.


Presented along Michigan Avenue, the exhibition features Feuerman’s celebrated monumental swimmer sculptures in bronze, resin, and epoxy. Renowned for her masterful attention to detail and exploration of themes of strength, serenity, and human connection, Feuerman transforms the city’s streetscape into an open-air gallery experience.


The exhibition extends beyond the Magnificent Mile to Hilton Contemporary's gallery in River North, where visitors can experience a selection of Feuerman’s tabletop-scale works, offering an intimate perspective on the artist’s internationally recognized practice.


We wish to thank the Chicago Tribune for publishing an article about our exhibition of swimmer sculptures on the front page of their 179 year old iconic newspaper. And to all of the magazines, TV, and other coverage we will share in the following weeks....

Lawrence Schiller: Motion Pictures


Hilton Contemporary

River North Gallery

716 N. Wells Street, Chicago



It was a remarkable opening night for Motion Pictures by Lawrence Schiller. Best known for his iconic celebrity and lifestyle photography of the 1960s, Schiller's stories behind the images brought a new depth and perspective to the exhibition.


Drawing from a career that placed him at the center of some of the most significant cultural moments of the era, Schiller shared personal insights that transformed familiar photographs into vivid historical narratives. From Hollywood legends to pivotal moments in American history, his work captures both the personalities and the spirit of a transformative decade. His photographs are not only compelling works of art but also enduring records of the people, places, and events that helped shape our cultural landscape.


For those unable to attend the opening, we invite you to experience this extraordinary exhibition and discover the power of Schiller's lens firsthand. Motion Pictures offers a rare opportunity to engage with images that continue to resonate decades after they were created, revealing the artistry, storytelling, and historical significance that define Schiller's remarkable career.

Cristina Mittermeier: Marks of Memory


Opening Reception 


TBD


Hilton Contemporary is pleased to present original collages and limited edition prints from Cristina Mittermeier’s Marks of Memory series as part of an upcoming summer exhibition. Through layered compositions that merge photography, collage, and mixed media, the series meditates on memory, ecological fragility, and humanity’s connection to the natural world. 


Drawing from a career spent as a conservation photographer documenting remote landscapes, wildlife, and Indigenous communities, Mittermeier transforms her photographic imagery into evocative, tactile works that blur the boundaries between documentation and artistic interpretation. Rich in texture and symbolism, Marks of Memory invites viewers to reflect on the landscapes we cherish, the stories we carry, and our shared responsibility to protect the natural world for future generations.
