	To John Wellborn Root John Wellborn Root did not live to see the completion of four of his masterworks - the Great Northern Hotel, the Ashland Block, the Woman's Temple and the Masonic Temple. He is buried in Chicago's Graceland Cemetery. We believe that accounts for the name of these paintings. Graceland #1 1981 acrylic, wood, canvas 72 x 43 inches courtesy of the Kelly collection Never exhibited Pannier may have slashed the second canvas to represent sadness over the early death of an architect at the height of his career and the demolition of so much of Root's life work. Graceland #2 1981 acrylic, wood, canvas 72 x 43 inches courtesy of the Kelly collection Never exhibited	More on the Root Series: Paintings: Ashland Land of Ashes Rookery #1 Rookery #2 Monadnock Great Northern A Woman's Temple Rape of the Temple Women Graceland #1 Graceland #2 Exhibitions: A Woman's Temple Klein Gallery Chicago 1983 A Woman's Temple Rape of the Temple Women Mary Delahoyd Gallery New York 2001 Land of Ashes Rookery #2 Monadnock Lee Scarfone Gallery Tampa, Florida 1984 Reviews & Guides: La Gaceta October 5, 1984 The Tampa Tribune October 14, 1984 The Tampa Tribune October 18, 1984 Pannier Wrote: Art Council Application Art Council Report Sketches & Notes
