River Suite

Phil Schuster produced a series of four artworks for Suite Home Chicago: An International Exhibition of Street Furniture in 2001. The Department of Cultural Affairs organized the exhibit following the success of its 1999 Cows on Parade exhibit. More than 100 artists enlivened the fiberglass suites of couches, televisions, and chairs with ottomans. In reviewing the exhibit, Chicago Tribune art critic Alan G. Artner identified Schuster's entry, known as River Suite, as one of the five most successful sculptural sets in the exhibit.
