The Smart Museum is presenting through Sunday, Sept. 9, an exhibition of nearly 50 lithographs, linoleum cuts, woodblock prints and related drawings and ephemera by this artist who was highly influential in Figurative and Pop Art trends as well as in the locally based Chicago Imagist movement. This exhibition has been organized in conjunction with an exhibition of the artist’s sculptures at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago Ave.

The Smart Museum invites families to explore the work of Westermann through special tours of the exhibition and hands-on workshops at 1 p.m. Sunday, July 15, at the museum.
