LUMA’s Richard Hunt exhibition offers an inspiring message for young artists

Loyola University Museum of Art (LUMA) opened "Freedom in Form: Richard Hunt" on July 11, 2025, running through November 15, 2025. Originally planned as a celebration of the renowned Chicago sculptor's career while he was still alive, the exhibition became a posthumous tribute after Hunt died on December 16, 2023, at age 88. The show originated at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM) in Springfield, suggested by Illinois First Lady MK Pritzker, and was later brought to LUMA in Hunt's hometown. It features sculptures, maquettes, tools, his personal workbench, and over 250 books from his library of 5,000 volumes, highlighting his seven-decade career and his role as an adjunct faculty member at Loyola University Chicago.

A new exhibition titled “Freedom in Form: Richard Hunt” opens at the Loyola University Museum of Art in Chicago, exploring the 70-year career of the late sculptor Richard Hunt, who died in 2023 at age 88. The show includes his tools, workbench, personal books and photos, alongside key works such as “Hero’s Head” (1956), a welded bust created in response to the murder of Emmett Till, who was Hunt’s neighbor. The exhibition originated at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Museum in Springfield and was conceived in 2019, with curator Ross Stanton Jordan and director Lance Tawzer aiming to present Hunt as a young artist deeply engaged with Civil Rights history.
