ORD assembles a collection of photographs by Toronto photographer Robert Burley and Chicago’s Hedrich Blessing firm. Hedrich Blessing’s iconic black and white images from the 1960s describe the Miesian second Chicago school modernism of Chicago’s largest public works project. Robert Burley’s color photographs of the 1980s describe O’Hare’s operational airfield as a complex managed landscape. Taken together, the exhibition illustrates over half a century of design at O’Hare and the photographers who have documented it.
