Expo Chicago Kicks... Off

I went to Expo Chicago while all the galleries were setting up. It's one of the best art fairs I've seen -- and it wasn't even fully installed. The art is kick ass.

I went to Expo Chicago while all the galleries were setting up. It's one of the best art fairs I've seen -- and it wasn't even fully installed. The art is kick ass. Galleries have brought exemplary pieces. The layout is spacious and flowing. And there are a lot of extra efforts commissioned or enabled by the fair of exciting large scale works of art or installations. In a time of fairs galore Expo Chicago stands out.
