From the Private Collection of Mike Sobczyk
Mike Sobczyk graduated from Lewis College (now Lewis University) in 1970. He became interested in ethnographic art, mostly from New Guinea, by frequently visiting the Field Museum from a young age. Mike gained more knowledge about New Guinea and contemporary art when an architect friend recommended that he visit several Chicago art galleries. This exhibition consists of works collected from the late 1970’s through the present time.
