You guys.

There are J.S.G. Boggs prints at the Art Institute RIGHT NOW

And we can maybe see them!

According to my friend who works at the Art Institute and also according to mine own eyes and this here internet, none of bills are on view currently - they're all in storage.  However, they're in the Prints & Drawings dept, which has a study center - which means it's possible we may be able to have them pulled out of storage so we can study them. My friend has no particular connections with this department, so unfortunately there aren't any strings to pull.  But it looks like we can contact the study center ourselves and set something up.

"Appointments to view selections from the collection of prints and drawings can be made by calling (312) 443-3660 or by e-mailing pdstudy@artic.edu."

Looks like appointments can only be made Tues-Friday mornings (for groups) or Tues-Thursday afternoons (for losers).  I work right around the corner and can easily spend a lunch checking this out...anyone else?
