Milton Horn

Milton Horn was a renowned Russian-born American Jewish sculptor and artist who lived and worked in Chicago for many years.  His works are exhibited in museums and institutions throughout the United States. Thanks to a gift from Paula and Peter Ellis of the Milton Horn Fine Art Trust, the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago is fortunate to be able to showcase a number of Horn's drawings and several of his sculptures for the benefit of the Jewish community.
