In 1998, Memorial Art Gallery Director Grant Holcomb bid on a mysterious painting on the auction block at Sotheby’s. Almost nothing was known about it, or about its remarkably talented painter, but Holcomb’s risk paid off. In a review of auction sales that year, one writer hailed the work as "a masterpiece that is the equal of the best of William Harnett…John Peto…and John Haberle…the three great American titans of trompe l’oeil." With photographs, engravings, and antique bits of bric-a-brac—all overseen by a bespectacled and bearded figure—The Printseller is filled with puzzling bits that suggest a story. This exhibition tells how the painting’s secrets have been given up one by one through the painstaking detective work of guest curator Pete Brown. GALLERY STORE: Open Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and until 9 p.m. Thursday; Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m. MAX at the Gallery: Open for lunch Tuesday-Saturday and for Sunday brunch.

Not since the stock market crash of 1929–1932 and the restructuring of financial regulation during the New Deal has there been a period when such fundamental revision of financial regulation seemed likely. Can we today design a new system that avoids episodic stock declines as significant as we have experienced in the recent past? Is our current model of regulating financial industries outdated in a world of systemic risk? How do we ensure a system that is understandable for individuals who secure mortgages, use credit cards or other consumer financial products? Will we always be beset by episodic scandals such as that involving Bernie Madoff or failures and near failures of firms as large as AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and Lehman Brothers? Have we created an economy in which some firms are “too big to fail”? Hosted by Hugo Sonnenschein ’61, president emeritus and Adam Smith Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago.

Gerald Corrigan, managing director, Goldman Sachs; Mary Schapiro, chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; and Richard Thaler ’70 (MA), ’74 (PhD), Ralph and Dorothy Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Behavioral Science and Economics, The University of Chicago Booth School.
