In 1999 gallery owner Tom McCormick was workingfrom a cute but small boutique space next door tohis Bucktown home. His commute to work (acrosshis garden) was enviable, but with an eye towardsproducing more ambitious exhibitions he begansnooping around the West Loop neighborhood,then promising to become the next gallery district.McCormick was hoping to find the perfect buildingto buy, and he struck gold when he was asked tobecome a partner at 835 W. Washington Boulevard.After a year of hard work and renovation, thebuilding, with its four large galleries, opened inMay of 2000.

The timing could not have been better. McCormickwas on the verge of expanding his representationof artists’ estates from the abstract expressionistera, and the large, energetic canvases from the1950s were shown to their best advantage in his4,000 square foot space. The gallery also diversi-fied its representation of contemporary artists,offering them opportunities for painting, sculptureand installation projects. Over the past decade theMcCormick Gallery has successfully pursued thisdual program of exhibiting historic Modern worksof art alongside new creations by younger contem-porary artists.

The gallery’s two exhibitions slated to run betweenApril and August perfectly illustrate this program-matic niche. From April 17 through June 5 look forEarly Spring – Works from the Estate of LynneDrexler. With a catalog essay by Susan Danly,Curator at the Portland (Maine) Museum of Art, theexhibit explores the paintings of this New YorkSchool expatriate. After participating in the 1950sand 60s with the Abstract Expressionists, she aban-doned Manhattan for the isolation of Maine’sMonhegan Island, and since her death her work isjust now coming back into public view.

Running at the gallery from June 19 through August13 will be Well Put Together 2, a wide rangingpresentation of work (both Modern and contempo-rary) by a variety of artists working in the disciplineof collage. The first incarnation of this exhibit focus-ing on Abstract Expressionism was presented at thegallery six years ago.

McCormick and his gallery director, Mary Beyer,will also be showing at ART CHICAGO at theMerchandise Mart from April 30th to May 3rd. Thegallery has participated in this annual expositionevery year since 1984.

Letter from the PublisherI know I’m not the only personwho knows that bigger doesn’talways mean better, and moreisn’t always greater. We’re proud of each issue ofChicago Gallery News because of the many gal-leries, artists, cultural institutions, and art world per-sonalities we showcase. No other city in the UnitedStates has a publication like CGN, and to brag a bit,that’s because most other art communities do notequal ours in scale or scope.

Since CGN was founded in 1983, the magazine hasgrown along with Chicago’s art world. What beganas a simple pamphlet became a glossy, 8 x 10” publication with more than 50 pages per issue.During the past year, we’ve started to adjust the content of our pages after aiming to streamline ourinformation for overall clarity, and we’ve movedsome content exclusively online for a few reasons,including conservation sensibilities, and the signifi-cant, steady traffic growth on our website.

Regularly evaluating what to share with readershelps us stay on top of our mission – to make the artworld engaging, approachable, and comprehensible.Holding a well-crafted resource in your handsmeans discovering new information just by turning apage. Chicago is an endless source of inspirationfor CGN, but there’s a great deal of information outthere, and we know that a focused guide is invalu-able when navigating the art world. CGN readersbenefit from our history and experience while takingadvantage of new technology and resources.

Since early 2009, when we dove headfirst intoTwitter and Facebook, and eventually blogging, theworld of social networking has been quite an adven-ture for us. We enjoy the instant updates and inter-acting with our local art friends and enthusiasts.However, with all these new channels come newsources of information excess. Overload is every-where online, but it’s also prevalent in the realworld: at an art fair, in a museum, or on a big galleryopening night.

Along with wanting to do it all, personally, I’ve real-ized that I can’t, though we all wish we had about 6more hours in our day. When exploring the artworld, by slowing down to a reasonable pace, wecan talk to artists, dealers and friends at openings.At art fairs, I no longer try to see it all just to say Idid – I’d forget which booth was where, and I mightnot remember the name of the artist I said hi to. If Imake it to 30 gallery openings in 3 districts in onenight, I probably don’t remember what I saw, so Ivisit 5-10 and go to the rest over a couple of week-ends.

I plan ahead, but not enough to eliminate the fun ofspontaneous discovery. I see what I want, and slowdown when I see something good. That’s the onlyway I can remember to tell someone else about it.This season, we can all slow down and enjoy sum-mer in Chicago as long as possible.

News - What’s HappeningThis current issue has such a long shelf life, so we try not to sound too datedwhen we put together our news section. But, because of the nature of a printmagazine, we do have to do a quite a bit of advance planning, which starts justafter the new year. The upshot is that we get an early picture of what the wholeyear is shaping up to be, and planning the “warm weather” issue is a lot of funbecause of what we get to look forward to ourselves and share with you.

We’re pleased to present a solid line-up of gallery openings, special events,and stellar musuem exhibitions, as well as, of course, the major spring art fairsthat begin at the end of April. Everyone likes our interview series so much thatwe’ve given each guest more space in order to share valuable insights andadvice, as well as humor. As always, there’s more to come and much to enjoy!

The best seasons in Chicago can be short,so while spring is here, jump into the artscene first at the Merchandise Mart for artfair weekend, April 30-May 3, 2010. Planahead, be prepared to walk, keep youreyes open, & enjoy the experiences aswell as the art. We’ll see you at the pre-view parties on April 29th!

How long have you been making art?Currently I am 35 years old, and my artist careerbegan at the early age of 12 when I becameextremely interested in painting & drawing. Sincethen I’ve exhibited my artwork in galleries acrossthe U.S., as well as internationally.

Will you explain for us the meaning of yourseries on your website, Into the Mystic?That body of work was made for a show exhibit-ed at 1988 Gallery in San Francisco, & the direc-tor chose the title. It was a group show, & theartists I exhibited with made paintings in a simi-lar genre. The underlying concept in my paint-ings focuses on mysterious & ambiguous feelingwith a fairytale-like atmosphere. I wanted to playwith themes such as mermaids, sea creatures &anthropomorphic characters.

Please talk about the influences in yourwork. Would it be safe to say that TakashiMurakami is one of them?I really enjoy the work of Takashi Murakami andYoshitomo Nara & started studying their works in the early 2000s when they were doing theSuperflat shows in North America. That influ-enced me & began my exploration in character-based work. In grad school I was doing morepop paintings - some abstract & some figurative- & also making robotic kinetic art, so it wasalmost like branching out & doing somethingcompletely different, working in a style I was notused to working in. I think you make strongerwork when you’re not comfortable with whatyou’re making, so that’s something I try to push -not being completely comfortable with what I’mdoing, so it doesn’t become monotonous & for-mulaic.

I’m also inspired a lot by pre-Raphaelite painterslike Gustvav Klimt. Klimt used a lot of floral pat-terns & decorative vines; I like how he incorpo-rated those into a very Modernist, flat, simplifiedstudy of nature.

You say in your statement that you “like tomake pretty paintings.” Why?Yes, this statement is from my Twitter profile. Ithink carefree & dreamy is the approach I takewhen addressing my concept. I don’t like toclaim a certain notion or agenda in my artwork,

as I feel it becomes too contrived, & I like theidea of keeping the story open ended. I am notsure what my style is, but I do like to keep a tan-gible reality out of the picture. I try not to push acertain style or direction. Most of the paintingsevolve from one to the next.

Tell us about your group show in LosAngeles, Year of the Tiger.I was pleased to be part of The Year of the Tiger at Giant Robot 2 in L.A. Artists were askedto create a piece dedicated to one of the mostpowerful & sensitive animals in the Chinesezodiac. I found making a Zodiac theme paintingvery interesting to research & explore. Thisinspired me to make not only one but two paint-ings that focused on a playful tiger.

What is it about LOST (the television show)that inspired you to make work about theprogram?I was asked to be part of The Lost UndergroundArt Show at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles &immediately jumped on the opportunity. I amnot sure what inspired me but being a fairly newLOST fan, I was very excited to participate insuch a highly anticipated art show. The showwas produced by Ronnie Midfew Arts &DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com. Over 20artists created original LOST-inspired paintingsand sculptures. Fans of the TV show campedoutside the gallery overnight just to be the first inthe door to check out the event.

How important, or necessary, is social networking (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) for ayoung artist?Very important. It’s not necessary but it can beextremely beneficial. I have been actively usingTwitter to promote my art, & it has proven to behighly successful. Some of my artist friendshave been using social networks to promotetheir work & have found the same level of suc-cess. You quickly get a sense of who your fansare & can also gain new collectors. I have hadmuch success selling artwork through these net-works & have also received invites for groupshows & other projects. It’s also a great way toview the latest project an artist is working on. Iview Twitter as the pulse, the nervous system, & the brains of social networking. I also useFacebook, Flickr, Friend Feed, Google Buzz,& Society6, as well as my blog, to get my word out often.

Do you consider yourself a “fine artist?”Certainly. I am a working, living & breathingartist making art everyday. I keep a busy sched-ule, often working in the studio until 3 am night-ly. I think it’s important to keep myself working inthe creative environment. In fact if I did not havea day job, I would be working nonstop. I alsoregularly show my work at galleries year round. I love knowing that it’s in the public view orhanging proudly in someone’s home. Everyoneinterprets my work differently, & I enjoy this typeof dialogue.

What do you love about art, and what do youhate about art?I love almost everything about art. It’s embeddedin me. The thing I love most about art is thediversity that artists bring to our world. There areso many different ways to interpret one’s work.Also, simply being inspired by a visit to a gallery,museum or public space is such a great andvaluable asset. I wish everyone in Chicagowould take advantage of the powerful art sceneChicago offers. I would have to say that I hatenothing about art. It can be ugly at times - orhighly provocative - but I feel these things areimportant to get the artist’s message out.

Since I am looking at things from an artist’s perspective, I often wonder what other peoplethink of when they’re living with, viewing, orexperiencing works of art.

Where do you see yourself ten years from now?Alive! Ha ha! Reaching greater plateaus, suchas a museum exhibition - that would truly be theultimate achievement. If it happens 10, 20, or 50years from now, that would be great. Ultimatelythough, I want to continue to paint and makework that’s exciting for collectors to collect.

Another interest ofmine would be to getmore involved withmaking Artist Designertoys. It’s difficult to trulyknow what direction mywork will take, but Idefinitely see myselfcontinuing to exploreuntil I expire.

Artist InsightsThis series focuses on that creative force behind everything in our art community: the artist. Thomas Mastersspoke with Jeremiah Ketner about working on a piece inspired by a popular TV show, the ever-changing benefits of managing a social networking presence in the art world, and having a laid-back attitude towards his work.

“If you want to distill our collection, this is it:highly academic, text-based, queer, racial politics, historicity,” says Matti Bunzl. Matti, hispartner Billy Vaughn, and I gaze at three ofGlenn Ligon’s Narratives, (1993), in which thequeer, African-American artist re-imagines hisown life as a 19th century slave narrative.Bunzl, a fast-talking, Austrian-born professorwho works in the Department of Anthropologyat University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana,and Vaughn, a soft-spoken, Savannah,Georgia, native who teaches social studies atthe University of Illinois Laboratory HighSchool, began collecting in 2004. Their richcollection is made up of mostly photographyand painting and, according to Matti, is “defi-nitely well below 50% Chicago artists, but thereis more Chicago in here than any individualcity.” The couple splits their time betweenChicago, where approximately one-third of theircollection lives, and Champaign, where theyteach and own a home that houses the othertwo-thirds of their collection. The two of themwere gracious enough to take time out of theirbusy schedules and give me an in-depth tour oftheir intelligently curated Boystown condo.

Tell me about the beginnings. How did youtwo meet? When did you start collecting? • Matti: We met in 1993 while we were in grad-uate school at the University of Chicago, andstarted collecting together in 2004. We movedto Champaign because I got a position there atthe university, and Billy came too and beganteaching at University High School. In 2001, webought a house in Champaign. It took us sometime to remodel and buy furniture; after we didthat, the next question was what would be onthe walls? We decided that we’d outgrown theposters phase, and we had always been intovisual art—but not in a serious way.

• Billy: We started thinking about collecting artwhen we were at the MCA.

• Matti: Yes. We went to the MCA once inawhile and, back in 2004, saw this piece byStephanie Brooks, a Chicago-based artist. Itwas in a big group show examining unsettling

aspects of our contemporary world calledStrange Days. Below the work, it said“Courtesy of Rhona Hoffman Gallery.” And wehad no idea what that meant. So we just wentto Rhona Hoffman’s and bought the piece.That’s how it started.

Speaking of Chicago, is this a LauraLetinsky photograph?• Matti: I really love this piece. We decided we wanted a piece from Mourning andMelancholia, a series where Laura plays withthe still life and post-dinner party kind of situa-tion. We looked at the entire series, and wehad to decide on what piece to buy. There areseven in the series, and this was Billy’s and mysecond choice. We had different first choices,so we agreed to agree on the mutual secondchoice, which doesn’t happen often.

I’m particularly drawn to this sort of car-toonish, yet unsettling work. Are the kidswith bunny ears, the gorilla girl, and theburlesque dancer, preparing for a freakish,eroticized after-school variety show?• Matti: This is a gouache-on-paper paintingcalled After School Practice, 2006, by a youngNew York-based Japanese-American artist,Asuka Ohsawa. It’s just weird—we like weird,eerie art. Or maybe it’s uncanny. We boughtthis at the Aqua Art Fair in Miami, which isunusual because we don’t buy a lot of art atfairs. Billy found it—he is much more open toimpulse buying. Well, that’s not the right word.When he sees a piece that he loves, he wantsto buy it. That doesn’t happen often, but whenit does it’s a strong, immediate impulse.Whereas for me, it’s always about researchand knowing a whole lot, and becomes aboutthe context and the politics. So art fair purchas-ing is more the Billy approach. But I did notneed to be persuaded to get this.

• Billy: In this piece, she uses a lot of Japanesesymbols that she repeats in her works: thelotus flower, cherry blossom, the clouds. Soyou have these ancient Japanese art under-tones overlaid with a sense of the uncanny.

• Matti: You see one and you instantly recog-nize it as an Ohsawa.

You say that you’re also quite interested inpurely conceptual work, like this ScottShort piece, Untitled (Orange), 2007.• Matti: Yes, he’s a Chicago-based painter who had a show at the Renaissance Society.He takes a black piece of paper and runs it

through a Xeroxmachine hun-dreds and hundreds oftimes until patterns start to appear, andthen he paintsthose patterns. It’s extremephoto realistpainting andAbstractExpressionist at the sametime. I was

particularly pleased to learn that he had beeninvited to the 2010 Whitney Biennial. I think theresult is totally beautiful, and I can’t wait to seeit in New York.

Writer Alicia Eler tours the home of Chicago collectors Matti Bunzl and Billy Vaughn, who reveal their different approaches to acquiring art as well as the ah-ha! collecting moment that started it all.

Scott Short, Untitled (Orange), 2007

How did youget started?When did you open the gallery?After someyears in NewYork workingas a singer & songwriter, I returned to

Chicago to perform with a group that wastouring the Midwest. We backed up groupslike the Stranglers, Iggy Pop & the B-52s.Thatwas 1985. I never intended to stay here but Ineeded a job to support my creative work, &someone I knew suggested I work for her inher gallery. I knew nothing about galleries &owned one sport coat & a red leather tie. So,working for others from 1985-1992 I learnedabout the business & discovered that being ina gallery was a good way to continue workingas an artist. Also at this time I started paint-ing. I opened my gallery in 1993.

What are the benefits & challenges to having a gallery located in Old Town?I have been here for 17 years, so the benefitsoutweigh the challenges. The most commonmisconception about being out of a gallerydistrict is that it hurts your ability to sell art.But I would argue that this location is betterfor my business than it would be in RiverNorth or West Loop. 250,000 cars drive pastthe gallery’s front window on North Ave. eachmonth, & we are in a popular walking neigh-borhood. There are a lot of opportunities tointroduce people to buying & collecting. Rightbefore I opened in ‘93, I read the ARTnews200 Top Collectors issue, & I thought, “I don’thave connections to any of them - I better fig-ure out how to make my own group of impor-tant buyers & collectors.” So we worked with the people who came through the front door.We educated them, respected them, & gavethem the information they needed to comfort-ably make acquisitions. Ten years later wehad an extremely loyal & excited client list.

People in the art business try to determinewhat level of gallery you are by where you’relocated. This can slow the process of recog-nition by dealers, critics & even artists whodon’t pay attention to those outside a certaingroup. Your profile suffers until, over time,you demonstrate your talents & abilities.

You have featured work by a broad rangeof artists, including Melinda Stickney-Gibson, Corey Postiglione, Tim Anderson,& Jon Langford, as well as internationalartists such as Dzine, Art Shay, &Magdalena Abakanowicz. Talk about coordinating a gallery program to showcase such a range of work.I am really proud to have worked with allthese people. I follow my own sense of whatworks here & trust my eye & my passion forart, & I base my relationships on hard work,

commitment, & success. I tell the artists that Istarted the gallery with almost nothing. I did-n’t know a soul in this city, and I had no safe-ty net - no wealthy spouse or backer. I didhave the drive & hunger of a guy from a work-ing class background who wants to do some-thing meaningful. We live & die by our abilityto make our artists & our gallery successful. Imeet more & more established artists wholike that about our gallery. These are seriousartists who have withstood the test of time &dedicated their life to their creative work. I’velearned that artists work with you when youcan give their career energetic progression.You help to establish buyers & collectors &put a tremendous amount of energy into mak-ing the whole thing work for them whiledemonstrating your own skill & creativity.

What is it like working so closely in thegallery with your wife Agnieszka? Agnieszka joined me in the gallery in 2002 &brought with her a sense of organization &common sense that I do not possess, & shemastered the Mac & improved our communi-cations. She’s a documentary filmmaker & anart historian. Recently we began incorporat-ing her short films about our exhibiting artistson our website. We work around each otherpretty effortlessly & rely on one another whenwe make tough choices. The gallery wouldnot have sur-vived & grownthe way it hasif she had notjoined me.

Agnieszka was born inWarsaw,Poland &escaped thecommunistregime to start a new life in America. She nowapplies that enormous strength & courage torunning the gallery. Whatever we accom-plish, we do it together. My name is on thedoor but she is the heart & soul of the gallery.

You have a strong music & painting back-ground. How do you incorporate yourown passions in the gallery?I can’t do just one thing. I just finished arecording project called The shape of theWater, a collection of musical works intendedas soundtrack for film. I collaborated with twotalented young artists, Adrian Leverkuhn &Rebekah Wilson, and we should have a CDout this spring. In May I am participating inPaper, featuring 12 artists & their works onpaper at the Beverly Arts Center. And I havea new performance project with a working titleof 20 something. I live to create. Being anartist, a musician, writer & art dealer gives mylife meaning & purpose.

Question:I am downsizing and will not have room for some ofmy art when I move. What are my options?

Answer:Sell, auction or donate.

Find out the value. Whatever you decide todo, you need to establish the value of the art.If you purchased works from a gallery, thatwould be a good place to start. While theymay or may not be interested in taking the art-work back for purchase, consignment or trade– they should be able to tell you the currentfair market value of the piece(s) and adviseyou.

If you acquired artwork from an artist, auction or as a gift, try to gather as much information as possible about the piece, including itsprovenance (history); documentation and/orphotographs of it, as well as the artist’sresume. Then consult an expert: a dealer whorepresents the artist or period; an auctionhouse, or a licensed appraiser. Note: for awritten appraisal from any expert, expect topay a fee.

• SellOnce you know the value, consider selling it toa friend, online, or to a dealer. However,unless a dealer regularly works with the artist,medium or period, he/she probably will not beinterested. Of course this varies according tothe price of the artwork as well as the reputa-tion of the artist.

• AuctionAuction houses can expand your options.They can tell you when they will be offeringworks similar to yours. They can give you anestimate of the value of the artwork, and whatyou can expect to receive. Ask about auctionhouse commissions as well as reserves youcan place on the work so that it won’t sellunder an agreed upon amount. (Read art dealer Stephen Daiter’s thoughts on buying at auction in this issue’s 15 Minutes with aDealer interview.)

• DonateThere are several advantages to donating art.You can find an immediate home for it; knowthat a piece you care about is being enjoyedby an appreciative audience, and receive a taxdeduction*

*Be sure to consult a tax expert to determine if there are restrictions or requirements in con-nection with your donation. Also be aware thatmuseums will not always accept donations ofart. Consider hospitals, schools or other quali-fied not for profits who will display the work.

How did Stephen Daiter Gallery get started?I became interested in photography during my college years in the early 1970s & mostly throughbeautifully printed, socially relevant books likeBruce Davidson’s East 100th Street, AndréKertész’s 60 Years of Photography & DonaldMcCullin’s Is Anyone Taking Any Notice? Not hav-ing money to buy photographs I purchased photo-graphic books when I could. During the 1970s &early 1980s I had the good fortune to meet RobertHeinecken, André Kertész & Harry Callahan & tohear W. Eugene Smith & other photographers whoinfluenced my understanding of the medium.Though I purchased my first photograph in 1974 itwas not until around 1980, in the midst of graduatestudies in Human Development at the University ofChicago, that I started an avocation of selling pho-tography books & then buying photographs withthe proceeds when I could. In 1988 I took a job atNorthwestern & taught there for three years. In1991, faced with the choice of completing my dis-sertation to continue on faculty or pursuing full-timemy avocation, photography, the decision was easy.After a number of years as a private dealer,Stephen Daiter Gallery opened in River North inlate 1997. My two current gallery directors: PaulBerlanga & Michael Welch were on staff as wasDavid Jameson (now of ArchiTech.)

Tell us about your new space in River North.We recently moved to 230 W. Superior where weoccupy the entire fourth floor. The new space is tai-lored to our needs in ways our old space hadceased to be. We have a single larger exhibitionspace rather than two adjoining spaces. We willdo fewer exhibitions, but more in depth, & canrecombine our contemporary & classic photogra-phy programs in new ways. A modest part of ourbusiness comes from exhibitions on the walls, soour new private show room & adjoining organizedprint storage room help us to customize presenta-tions for new & established clients. In addition,frames, framed art work & photographic books arenow on site & easily accessible.

You’ve participated in highly respected interna-tional art fairs, including Switzerland’s ArtBasel; what are some challenges & advantagesof being part of such a high-profile fair?We are privileged to be regular participants in thetwo most important international art fairs thatinvolve photography: Art Basel & AIPAD (TheAssociation of International Photography ArtDealers.) At Art Basel we are considered a classicphotography gallery & are required to concentrateour exhibitions on “vintage” photography. Compet-ition to exhibit at the fair is fierce, & once in, youare carefully vetted year to year to make sure thatyou represent the show & your specializations well.This facilitates exceptional presentations of muse-um worthy art work in most booths at Art Basel.

At AIPAD there is more of a balancebetween classic & contemporary pho-tography. The quality of art workshown is quite high but the pressuremore self-imposed. In both cases webring our best newly acquired & previ-ously unseen artworks in an effort tobest represent our gallery & Chicago.

Tell us about working with auction houses?I get semi-regular calls from auction houses to helpthem authenticate works by photographers that thegallery is recognized as expert on.

I also travel to New York to preview the major pho-tography auctions (Sotheby’s, Christies, Swann &Phillips-DePury.) I do not, except in rare instances,consign to auction & have found it increasingly dif-ficult to buy there. The enormous growth of theclassic photography field over the last 30 years hastaken many of the best pieces permanently out ofthe marketplace. In any given sale cycle very fewextraordinary masterworks are offered. These arewhat you go to auction to acquire. For other strongpieces it often makes more sense for collectors &dealers to contact other dealers to buy equivalentpieces at lower prices.

When considering buying at auction, be careful &have someone knowledgeable on the works youare interested in evaluate the pieces for you. Auc-tion houses guarantee only what is printed in boldtype. Image date, printing date, who made the pri-nt, signatures & stamps, the printing medium (e.g.silver print, type-c color) are not guaranteed. Lotsare sold as is & the accuracy of condition reports &the long-term stability of images aren’t guaranteed.

I kept tabs for over a year on all the items I pre-viewed at the major New York auctions & foundthat more than 30% of the items had substantialcataloguing errors (usually the age of the print orthe signature’s authenticity). All but a few mistakesfavored the auction house making the prints morevaluable than they should be. Things have recentlyimproved, mostly at Sotheby’s. They do carefulresearch & condition reports, which you can viewonline. Sotheby’s is the only house I recommend ifyou cannot be at an auction & you do not havesomeone you trust to look at the pieces for you.

Auction houses generally make about 40% in com-missions on any given sale (25% from the buyer, 8-15% from the seller plus illustration, shipping,matting & insurance costs.) But most dealers con-sign these same pieces from you at a considerablylower commission & target specific clients or artfairs & museums where they feel they have asgood a chance of selling. Hence, even if an itemdoes not sell it is generally not considered “dead”from overexposure (no publicly recorded results.)

What is it like working with such a loyal staff?I’ve been blessed with a talented, committed &dedicated staff. Paul & I have known each otherfor close to 30 years & have worked together fornearly 20, & we have continued to be good friends.Paul, among other things, is excellent at sales &client relations. Michael assisted me in my firstexhibition on the Institute of Design called Light &Vision at The Cultural Center in 1994. He also didmuch of the construction work on our initial gallery

space in 1997 & was our organization man &preparator. He currently runs our contemporaryprogram & has an excellent eye for new talent. Bill Frederick, the best framer & preparator in thecity, has been with the gallery for 8 years. LucasZenk (5 years) is very talented in many areas ranging from inventorying, catalog design, scanning & editing, to aesthetics & sales. AdamHoltzman, the newcomer (2 years) has designedseveral catalogs, organized much of our move &been important in a wide range of other areas.

You’ve published a lot of exhibition catalogs.Why is it important to your gallery & artists?My staff & I have always been interested in photog-raphy books. Publishing serious & scholarly cata-logs & books is the best way for our gallery toreach serious collectors as well as to educate new& established collectors on the importance of thephotographers we work with. For us it has alsoproven to be the best single source of advertisingfor the gallery & a good way to increase awarenessin the photo & art community about our artists.

What do you consider the benefits and / or hurdles to being a Chicago-based gallery?The main benefit to being located in Chicago is the city’s rich history of photography. The NewBauhaus/Institute of Design was the creative center& most important educational institution in thecountry for innovative & experimental photographyfrom the 1930s through at least the early 1970s.László Moholy-Nagy, Gyorgy Kepes, NathanLerner, Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind, Art Sinsa-baugh, Ray Metzker, Ken Josepshson, BarbaraCrane, Joseph Jachna, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, KeithSmith are just a few of the important photographersassociated with the school. A great tradition ofChicago based photojournalists reached its peak inthe city mid-century. These include: Wayne Miller,Lee Balterman, Mickey Pallas, Gordon Coster,Marvin Newman, Danny Lyon & Art Shay. The Citycontinues to nurture the development of extraordi-nary talents like Dawoud Bey, Paul D’Amato, TerryEvans, Ben Gest, Barbara Kasten, Laura Letinsky,Brian Ulirch & John White. It’s also a rich sourcefor uncovering classic photographs.

A major hurdle is that the core of dedicated collec-tors of classical 20th century & serious contempo-rary photography, while wonderful, is relativelysmall. Many collectors, art consultants & institu-tions typically go outside Chicago for their art. (e.g. New York, San Francisco & Los Angeles).

In the old days Art Chicago, one of the 2 or 3 bestart fairs in the world, was an important internationalarts event. This celebrity brought the whole interna-tional arts community here & enabled exceptionalChicago galleries to become known to the rest ofthe world. The diminished importance of ArtChicago over the last decade has had devastatingeffects on the local art community. It has made ithard for new galleries to succeed, has caused anumber of really fine art galleries to close & hasincreased the need for serious established gal-leries like ours to redirect more of our business toclients & art fairs outside the city to recapture muchof what Art Chicago used to bring to the city.

CGN FAQ

One of the most frequent questions Chicago GalleryNews receives is how to sell a work on the secondarymarket. Sometimes galleries will take work on con-signment if it’s by an artist they represent, or occa-sionally they may be interested in purchasing a pieceoutright.

Usually we recommend you contact an auction housefor a complimentary estimate and to discuss if youcan work together to sell the piece at auction. Beforecontacting the auction house, gather as much infor-mation as you can - know where it was purchased,how you acquired it, who the artist is, etc. Have digital images available, and be prepared to fill out documentation about the piece, even if you don’tknow much.
