Berk Collection at Des Plaines CampusThis exhibition presents approximately seventy paintings created in Northern Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, with a particular emphasis on Dutch masters of the Golden Age. Among the many highlights are works associated with Rembrandt’s circle, including a piece by his teacher Pieter Lastman and notable examples by his pupils Gerard Dou, Ferdinand Bol, and Govert Flinck. Also on view are three paintings by Jan Steen, the quintessential Dutch genre painter known for his vivid depictions of everyday life. The entire collection was assembled over four decades by Harlan J. Berk, a Chicago-based coin dealer specializing in ancient numismatics. Berk is the author of six books and numerous articles on the subject, and his discerning eye has brought together a remarkable array of Northern European paintings that reflect both scholarly depth and personal passion.

The Public Reception takes place on Thursday, May 7, 5 - 8 p.m.

Viewings take place from May 7 to June 26, 2026, during regular museum hours.

His pieces are featured in numerous public spaces and museum collections, including two works held by the Koehnline Museum of Art. This exhibition showcases sculptures inspired by the textures and forms of natural landscapes—often vast expanses interrupted by both organic and industrial elements. Baur’s work offers abstract interpretations of these environments, frequently suggesting a horizontal orientation that reflects how natural forces can subdue vertical structures.
