July 3, 1976 – The Chicago Tribune reports that artist Marc Chagall has donated a
set of windows, entitled “The American Windows,” to the Art Institute of
Chicago as a Bicentennial gift. The
windows will measure eight by thirty feet and will be installed in an area
overlooking McKinlock Court, a space illuminated by natural light. Chagall holds the city in warm regard as a
result of the experiences he had in 1973 and 1974 in the creation and
dedication of his mosaic The Four Seasons,
installed on the east side of the plaza of the First National Bank of Chicago,
now Exelon Plaza.
