Chicago buildings created by Louis Sullivan, and his partner David Adler, were being destroyed in the 1960s and 70s. A preservationist, Richard Nickel saw it as his duty to document everything from behind the lens.
A tale of two stories is taking center stage at the Richard H. Driehaus Museum.
It’s a story of an architect and photographer. Two artists connected through their work, but never in life. Born four years after Sullivan’s death, Nickel was committed to documenting Sullivan’s architecture, as both a photographer and preservationist. It was a decision he made when learning about the architect while a student at the IIT Institute of Design.
Chicago buildings created by Sullivan, and his partner David Adler, were being destroyed in the 1960’s and 70’s. A preservationist, Nickel saw it his duty to document everything from behind the lens. Nickel’s research has been broken up into four themes — two on Sullivan’s residential and commercial buildings, and the other two on the Chicago Stock Exchange building.
