APRIL 27, 2007

Now that I've given a brief explanation of the Art Fairs, I will continue on to all that occurred that weekend.


On April 27, 2007 I met up with my friend, Justin Polera who is on the committee for the Intuit Show. Together the four of us, Esteban Schimpf, Robert MacNeil, Justin and myself, headed to the home of Larry Fields, to view his private art collection of contemporary art. Larry Fields is the inheritor of Marshall Fields and the Field Museum here in the city of Chicago. We were absolutely astonished to view his collection which included but were not limited to works by Richard Serra, Allora and Calzadilla, Lari Pittman, Ed Ruscha, Matthew Barney, and a beautiful Sol Le Witt that faced the Northern window.


After attending the event at Mr. Field's home, we headed over to the west loop where many of the galleries had their openings. The pictures below are of our visit to the Kavi Gupta Gallery, Carrie Seacrest Gallery, and the Nova Gallery of Chicago.
