When the Johnson Publishing Company, best known for Jet and Ebony, moved into its iconic building on Michigan Avenue, the structure symbolized a bold entry into both the Chicago skyline and the city's cultural environment. This emblematic building was the first in Chicago designed and owned by African Americans, a modernist masterpiece that in 1980 the Washington Post called, practically a monument, sometimes an ostentatious one to black success.

David Hartt was given unprecedented access to the building, much of which retains its 70s design, from bright gold accents to vintage see-through furniture. His resulting photographs take viewers on a rich and revealing tour.
