The big news at the Milwaukee Art Museum is that its long-anticipated new addition is about to open, along with the rest of the museum, which was renovated at the same time. But there is still art to see between now and the grand re-opening on November 24th.

Kelly, along with photography curator Lisa Sutcliffe gave Lake Effect a tour of the exhibition where Sultan reflected on her husband's work and what it means to have it showcased in Milwaukee:
