POSTER ART BACK STORY
This is why this is our poster: “In 2019, Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House was designated as a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Science, and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site. This is a very prestigious award. There are very few World Heritage Sites in the United States. Most of them are natural sites, such as the Grand Canyon, etc. Very few are buildings. To observe this award, the 57th Street Art Fair commissioned John Chehak, an artist based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who exhibits at the Fair, to create a painting of the Robie House and the nearby Harper Center. Chehak then used the painting as the basis for generating the 2020 poster.”
