Come celebrate the 150th birthday of Chicago architect Benjamin Marshall with scrumptious cake and sparkling libations at the Merchandise Mart, in two beautiful side-by-side gallery spaces: the Richard Norton Gallery and the Richard J. Abraham Collection.
Enjoy spectacular art, furniture, sculptures, and paintings—from Abrahamson’s Modern and Mid-20th Century collections to a retrospective of 20th-century art from the Norton Gallery.
This festive salute is a nod to Marshall’s own gifted eye for art and interior design, reflected in the exotic décor of his Shangri-La studio/residence overlooking Lake Michigan in Wilmette, built in the 1920s.
Join us for this lively celebration as we raise a toast and sing “Happy 150th Birthday” to the visionary behind Chicago’s Drake Hotel, Benjamin H. Marshall!
