About the painting
America Windows is a 1977 set of stained glass window panels by Marc Chagall that is located at the Art Institute of Chicago in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois, United States. The panels were a gift to the City of Chicago by Chagall, the City of Chicago, and the Auxiliary Board of The Art Institute of Chicago. It consists of three or six themed panels, depending on the source, commemorating the United States Bicentennial in memory of recently deceased Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. The set of panels is 96 inches (2.4 m) high by 385 inches (9.8 m) wide and was dedicated on May 15, 1977.
Read on
America Windows was planned and installed during a period during which the city was supporting large-scale art by prominent artists. The stained glass windows were originally located facing McKinlock Court until 2005. During the Modern Wing addition to the Art Institute, they were removed for a period of conservation treatment. In 2010, they were reinstalled in an interior gallery away from natural sunlight and condensation.
They were Chagall's first stained glass windows that were not focused on religious themes and the second that were not at a religious institution. These were the first stained glass windows designed and installed for the aesthetic benefit of museum viewers rather than as architectural elements. Chagall worked in collaboration with glassmaker Charles Marq in France to design, assemble, ornament and refine the stained glass windows.
