An exploration of selfhood and self-presentation through the works of fourteen American artists

Reflecting on themes of selfhood and self-presentation, this broad collection of works by renowned and lesser-known artists offers a multifaceted look at the complexities of identity in the modern world. Self, Made brings together a wide-ranging collection of mediaâ"from photographs and paintings to drawings, sculptures, and filmâ"with an emphasis on photography and work dubbed "outsider" art. Encompassing art by the famous and the anonymous in equal measure, the Sandor Family Collection inspires inquiry into the relationship that particular artists and works have with fame and popular culture.

Short biographies on Eddie Arning, Eugene von Breuchenhein, William Edmondson, Lee Godie, Jesse Howard, Annette Messager, Mr. Imagination, Mart­n Ram­rez, Cindy Sherman, Bill Traylor, Kara Walker, A. R. "Slim" Wasson, John Waters, and Joseph E. Yoakum accompany brilliant new photography of their works, as well as views of the Sandors' unique art-filled Chicago home. In an interview with curator Matthew Witkovsky, Ellen and Richard Sandor share insights into their democratic collecting philosophy and consider how histories are often futures waiting to be made.
