Molly Zuckerman-Hartung’s innovative explorations of materials and process-based abstract painting make her one of Chicago’s most promising emerging artists. Fresh from her New York gallery debut, the artist presents new paintings that incorporate collage, found objects, and sculptural elements in unexpected ways that push the work beyond traditional notions of painting. BMO Harris Bank Chicago Works: Molly Zuckerman-Hartung is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition.

Molly Zuckerman-Hartung (b. 1975) received her MFA in Painting and Drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007.

This exhibition is curated by MCA Pamela Alper Associate Curator Julie Rodrigues Widholm.
