David Raskin

I am the Mohn Family Professor of Contemporary Art History at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I tell stories about art that situate the moment of its encounter within art-historical scholarship. My goal is to probe personal experiences for their wider cultural implications. I ask what we expect from art, why we have these desires, and how art satisfies or frustrates these needs. Follow me on IG @raskin_chicago or www.DavidRaskin.com
