American cities underwent seismic transformations in the 1960s and 1970s, from shifting demographics and political protests to reshaping through highways and urban renewal. Amid this climate of upheaval, photographers, architects, activists, performance artists, and filmmakers turned conditions of crisis into sites for civic discourse and artistic expression. A collaboration between the Art Institute of Chicago and the Princeton University Art Museum, The City Lost and Found explores photographic and cinematic responses to the changing fabric of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles that contributed to a reconsideration of cities in popular media and urban policy during this period. This exhibition and publication raise timely questions about the role of art within the social, political, and physical landscape of cities. Winter Exhibition Celebration: Saturday, 5:00 p.m. Firestone Library: Friday and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. ‐ 11:45 p.m. Versailles on Paper: A Graphic Panorama of the Palace and Gardens of Louis XIV This exhibition, which coinceds with the tercentenary of the death of Louis XIV (1638‐1715), brings together the finest holdings of Firestone and Marquand Libraries documenting the development of Versailles during the reign of the "Sun King." Main Gallery Seeley G. Manuscript Library: Friday, 9:00 a.m. ‐ 4:45 p.m. Suits, Soldiers, and Hippies On the local scale, this exhibition provides insight into the reaction of the Princeton University community. Photographs and letters among other documents highlight campus events such as the SDS occupation of the IDA, the Princeton Strike, and the 1970 commencement ceremony, and reveal how the war sparked unrest but also fostered collaboration between the administration and the student body that induced change at both the institutional and national level.
