About the Item

This original poster was published in 1982 for an exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcasing one of Edward Hopper’s most iconic paintings: Nighthawks (1942). The painting, which is part of the museum’s permanent collection, has become one of the most recognized and reproduced works of American art in the 20th century. Nighthawks captures the quiet tension and urban isolation of mid-century America through Hopper’s masterful use of light, architecture, and space. Its enduring resonance lies in its subtle storytelling—suggesting loneliness and connection in equal measure. Hopper’s vision of modern life, often rooted in themes of solitude, reflection, and alienation, found wide acclaim during the retrospective exhibitions of the early 1980s, helping to cement his legacy in both American and international art history. Posters like this one are highly sought after by collectors for their direct association with landmark museum exhibitions and for featuring some of the most celebrated artworks of the modern era. As an official print produced by the Art Institute of Chicago, it reflects both institutional provenance and cultural significance.
