Nathan Lerner Annual Lecture
 |
Nathan Lerner (1913–1997) was an internationally recognized photographer and industrial designer. He and his wife, Kiyoko, discovered and helped preserve the work of Henry Darger, who was their tenant in Chicago. The Nathan Lerner Annual Lecture was established by the museum's Contemporary Center in 2000 in recognition of Lerner's invaluable contribution to the field. |
