In 1985, Michele Fitzsimmons, an artist, and Diane Schmidt, published a book called The Chicago Exhibition. The book features photographs of Fitzsimmons posing nude or semi-nude at various locations around the city. This book was the inspiration for the Shopkeepers’ exhibition pictures, and anyone who would like to participate let us know. Some call it pornography; we call it art.

Here is a small sample of the book.
