The $294 million Modern Wing, built to house the Institute's great collection of 20th and 21st century work, is a complicated exercise in reconciliation. A resolutely modern building, it not only manages to gently introduce itself into the greenery of Chicago's Millennium Park but also draws in three tricky neighbors - the original Art Institute, the active commuter railway lines that run between them, and the city of Chicago, where around...
