5. A small sculpture by the nineteenth-century artist Edmonia Lewis was in the museum's collection for many years, displayed in the lobby of the Goodman Theatre; its present location is unknown. I am grateful to Daniel Schulman for informing me about the second Tanner painting and the Lewis sculpture. The Art Institute's interest in Tanner actually dates back to 1896, when his Daniel in the Lions?Den (1895; present location unknown) was included in that year's annual "American Exhibition" along with the portrait of the artist by his close friend Herman Dudley Murphy now in the Art Institute's collection. I am grateful to Andrew J. Walker for this information.
