Juergens Confirmed

Yes, it turns out that the P&C Juergens
who exhbited in the 1915 Artists of Chicago Show
at the Art Institute was indeed Alfred Juergens
(whose artistic legacy was recently discovered in a west suburban attic)
(Note: the Samuel James Kennedy listed above
was the P&C member
responsible for the first and only modernist show at the club)

Juergens was also given a one-man show at the Art Institute
(back in the day when the museum supported local artists)

Here's his bio from the catalog of that exhibit

currently kept in the archives
of the Ryerson Library.
