Dear Friends:
As Mayor and on behalf of the City of Chicago, I am pleased to offer warmest greetings to those participating in the 2nd Annual EXPO CHICAGO, International Exposition of Contemporary and Modern Art,
September 19 - 22.
Established with the goal of restoring Chicago’s place as a leading preeminent art fair and cultural destination, EXPO CHICAGO is making its way back to the city after a successful inaugural year in 2012.
EXPO CHICAGO hosts over 120 of the world’s premier galleries, featuring over 2,000 artists from 16
countries and 34 cities around the world along with a variety of intimate and involved events to engage
both the art world and the local community. I am proud of this extraordinary event and excited for the occasion to showcase all that Chicago has to offer to the international arts community. I commend everyone working with EXPO CHICAGO for their commitment to progressing art and design, and celebrating
expression.
Chicago is home to one of the country’s largest, oldest and most-established arts communities.
Throughout the year, our city hosts many exciting events highlighting a diverse array of artistic mediums—music, dance, performance and literary arts—drawing people from near and far to delight in these
intriguing displays of talent. From our own Theatre on the Lake to the many independent galleries and
studios, I am proud of the many artists who call Chicago their home. I am pleased that EXPO CHICAGO
is here to stay and adding itself to the ever-growing list of exciting cultural events in which patrons from
near and far can enjoy for years to come.
I hope that those visiting our great city take time to experience some of the special places in Chicago—
sample our distinguished restaurants, tour our great universities, and enjoy our iconic skyline and incredible lakefront during your stay. From our public displays of art to our independent artists and architectural
landmarks to our world-class museums and cultural centers, art truly enhances the quality of life for
residents and visitors alike.
| 2013
On behalf of the people of Chicago, I welcome you all to EXPO CHICAGO. Best wishes for an enjoyable
event and much continued success.

“I was so grateful for the opportunity to participate in 3Arts Artist Projects
(3AP). this is a huge boon for artists who struggle financially to make their
work even in the best of times. my project is all about making new paintings and
rebuilding after most of my work was damaged in flooding earlier this year. now,
with the help of 3ap, i will be able to turn this setback into something truly positive.”

The four panelists will participate in a discussion

Smith’s historic gesture as its starting point.
They will examine the anticipation and execution
of the original moment in 1968, the immediate

narratives and how it has been transformed
along the way, creating a resonant tension

Ruinart
Champagne
has had an ongoing relationship with the
arts since its founding in 1729. As the
oldest established Champagne House,
Ruinart has commissioned works over
the centuries from artists such as Alfons
Mucha, who was commissioned in 1895 to
illustrate a poster of the brand, continuing
on to collaborations with Gideon Rubin,
Patricia Urqiola, India Mahdavi, and
Maarten Bass.
At

Ruinart will display its collaboration with

Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek. Known
for his signature furniture designs using
recycled wood, Hein Eek has created
limited edition Ruinart Champagne boxes
and two larger wooden modules that will
be on display in the VIP | Northern Trust
Collector’s Lounge during the fair, where
Ruinart is the official champagne. Eek’s
unique, handmade creations pay homage
to the fact that in the late 18th century,
Ruinart was the first Champagne house to
ship in sturdy wooden boxes, as opposed
to baskets. The individually crafted boxes
are perfectly suited to the Ruinart Blanc
de Blancs bottle shape, and made of
reclaimed wood in shades of pale grey,
white and cream that complement the
Champagne’s rich hues. Visit Chicago’s only major
exhibition on the Civil War during its
150th anniversary.

SPECIAL
EXHIBIT­IONS
ACRE
Artists’ Cooperative Residency and Exhibitions (ACRE)
is a volunteer-run not-for-profit devoted to employing
systems of support for emerging artists, and creating a
generative community of cultural producers. Recreating
their lodge library, originally displayed at their summer
residency in Southwest, Wisconsin, ACRE brings a site to
EXPO that operates on two registers, at once a reminder
of ACRE’s past activities, and a space to elaborate on
future conversations. Their exhibition – located in the
lobby outside of Festival Hall – is made from salvaged
timbers collected from razed Chicago buildings, an environment that alters the site of the fair in order to provide
an intimate space where viewers can interact with the
work of past ACRE residents. In conjunction with Bad at
Sports, ACRE also introduces The EXPO Register, a daily
newspaper created by ACRE resident and Bad at Sports
contributor Dana Bassett. The vibrant, hand printed
Register, a Daily designed by Chicago artist Clay Hickson
of Tan & Loose Press, highlights events during the fair,
including reviews of special exhibitions and reports on
trends at the fair, bringing a timely currency to their exhibition, which is indicative of their program at large.
articulates the breadth of Aperture’s program, and their
continued support of making photography available to a
wide collecting audience.
ARTADIA
Renewing their partnership with EXPO CHICAGO for the
second year, Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue will
present the Artadia/EXPO CHICAGO Award, an inaugural
prize awarded to one Chicago-based artist during the
fair. Chosen by a distinguished panel of judges led by
Associate Curator of The Museum of Contemporary Art
Denver Nora Burnett Abrams, the award will continue
to foster and support the artist’s work, giving them
access to Artadia’s unique programming and network.
Additionally, Artadia will have a booth at EXPO CHICAGO
featuring editions for purchase by artists Josef Strau,
Phoebe Washburn, Frank Benson, Catherine Wagner,
and Ian Tweedy. All proceeds will go to support Artadia’s
programming.
APERTURE FOUNDATION
| 2013
Aperture Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing photography via Aperture magazine,
traveling exhibitions, and educational programs. Presenting unique works in the form of artists’ editions, with
photographs by Jason Evans and Eva Fiore-Kovacovsky.
Aperture’s Special Exhibition also elaborates on their
book-publishing program, with pieces such as Matthew
Pillsbury’s haunting photograph of crowds strolling beneath a dinosaur skeleton at the Natural History Museum
in London. In addition, more experimental and conceptual projects are on view, such as James Welling’s Fluid
Dynamics, which depicts abstract washes of periwinkle
and lavender created by photograms of water altered in
Photoshop, and Andrea Galvani’s seemingly straightforward image of a tree, centered on a grassy plain in the
Greek countryside, in fact complicated by the use of mirrors, creating reflections that converge on the edge of the
camera’s lens. Also on view is work by Richard Mosse,
who was most recently featured in the Irish Pavilion at
the Venice Biennale. Known for using discontinued aerial
surveillance film to render landscapes of the Eastern
Congo in unsettlingly psychedelic hues, Mosse’s work

ARTSPACE
Artspace is a curated website for fine art, offering collectors and aspiring collectors the opportunity to buy art
from the world’s leading cultural institutions, museums,
galleries, and artists. An official partner of EXPO CHICAGO, Artspace is pleased to feature a selection of works
benefiting non-profit and institutional partners, including
the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the Brooklyn
Museum, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The
Brooklyn Academy of Music, and The Drawing Center,
to name a few. All proceeds from sales of these works,
by artists such as Francisco Clemente, Sean Scully, Alex
Katz, and Fred Tomaselli, will support exhibitions and
programming at these esteemed institutions. Also on
view is a selection of Artspace Editions, featuring limited
edition fine art prints by emerging and established artists
such as Sarah Morris, Clifford Ross, Shantell Martin, and
Marcel Dzama. In addition to their booth, Artspace has
also created an online preview of the fair, allowing collectors to explore the works currently on view from each
exhibiting gallery. The exclusive online preview features
extensive fair coverage, including an interview with
William J. O’Brien, a Chicago-based artist who was also
invited to create the inaugural EXPO CHICAGO commission, which will be sold exclusively on Artspace.com.
BAD AT SPORTS
Alex Chitty, “Untitled,” 2010.

Bad at Sports is a forum on multiple platforms, known for
its weekly podcasts and daily blog, the site features artists, curators, and gallerists, among others to talk about
the Chicago art community and the art world at large. In
conjunction with ACRE, Bad at Sports will take part in
The EXPO Register, which has something for everyone,
including local guides for visitors, interviews, and reviews
with insight into what’s what, who’s who, and enough
gossip to keep everyone tuned into what’s #trending.
Additionally, Bad at Sports will broadcast from their
booth next to the /DIALOGUES stage on the main floor
of the exposition. Hosts Duncan MacKenzie and Richard
Holland will field interviews and commentary from artists,
curators and dealers for both their podcast and blog on
Saturday, September 21st. Bad at Sports’ booth will also
display a series of screen-printed motivational posters
by Chicago-based ACRE artists, including Jessica Taylor
Caponigro, Alex Chitty, Ben Driggs, Paul Erschen, Aron
Gent, Sofia Leiby, and Betsy Odom. Bringing the voice
of Chicago news to the fair, the daily newspaper created
by ACRE resident and Bad at Sports contributor Dana
Bassett, and designed by Chicago artist Clay Hickson of
Tan & Loose Press, will provide a touch of novel reportage to the fair.
BALLOON
Conceived as a platform that hosts multiple activities, Balloon focuses on work that crosses traditional
boundaries to advance cultural dialogue. Displaying a
solo exhibition of work by Argentinean conceptualist
Osvaldo Romberg, Balloon’s exhibition examines new
paintings based on his well known didactic color paintings of the 1970s and sculptural works. Taking place in
tandem with Romberg’s installation, Translocations: Mies
and Melnikov, in partnership with the National Historic
Trust for Preservation and with support from the Graham
Foundation, on view at Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth
House in Plano, Illinois, this exhibition bridges a dialog
between the two bodies of work. Painter and architect,
Romberg engages as equally with the strategies and mythologies of classical painting as with the analysis of the
historic avant-gardes. Similarly, his architectural tastes,
in the tradition of Eduardo Sacriste, refuse a notion of
architecture except at its highest point of abstraction, as
art. Attempting to solve ongoing issues surrounding the
status of the subject and presence in painting, Romberg
exemplifies an effort to follow Barthes to the degree
zero, to experience, as Ygal Zalmona describes it, “the
‘I’ which paints while keeping silent (by not saying, but
by being).”
CHICAGO ARTISTS COALITION/ BOLT RESIDENCY
Chicago Artists Coalition (CAC) is a 39-year old nonprofit
dedicated to building a sustainable marketplace for entrepreneurial artists and creatives by producing innovative programs, exhibitions, and educational opportunities
for practicing artists, patrons, and the public. CAC presents two booths this year at EXPO CHICAGO, through the
BOLT Residency and HATCH Projects initiatives. BOLT
Residency is a prestigious year-long studio residency
that offers up to eleven artists dedicated studio space, a
solo exhibition, and one-on-one studio visits with leading
professionals. Selected by Dieter Roelstraete, curatorial
advisor for the exhibition and Manilow Senior Curator
at the MCA Chicago, BOLT will exhibit resident artist
Joseph G. Cruz’s “Assembling the Lunar.” The installation
utilizes multiple artworks, artifacts, and histories to mediate our understandings of the moon – asking viewers to
imagine what the horizon line looked like the night Neil
Armstrong took his famous first steps. CAC also presents
a Special Exhibition in conjunction with HATCH Projects,
a pioneering artist and curatorial residency that fosters
shared experimentation and creativity for twenty-four
emerging artists and four emerging curators. Curated
by Teresa Silva, the exhibit features work by 2012-2013
HATCH projects artists Kasia Houlihan, Ryan Peter Miller,
and Rebecca Parker, linking these artists’ interests in the
body, intimacy, interpersonal interactions, humor, and
playfulness.
HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH
Human Rights Watch is dedicated to protecting the human rights of people around
the world. Standing with victims and activists to prevent discrimination, to uphold
political freedom, and protect people from
inhumane conduct in wartime, Human
Rights Watch brings offenders to justice.
In partnership with Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Human Rights
Watch will present artist Jenny Holzer’s “Inflammatory Essays”. Echoing the mission of their commitment to defending and protecting human rights, the “Inflammatory Essays”
depicts Holzer’s goal to affront the public with critical ideas.

The Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) St. Louis presents,
supports, and celebrates the art of our time. Focused on
a dynamic array of changing exhibitions, CAM provides a
thought-provoking program that reflects and contributes
to the global cultural landscape. CAM returns to EXPO
CHICAGO for a second year presenting “Feedback 2,”
a collaborative installation by Brett Williams and Kevin
Harris. Using wind-blown microphones hanging from
the ceiling, the exhibition is founded on the concept of
ensured randomization. Using the microphones as their
initial source, the installation is capable of producing
an infinite number of auditory and visual outcomes that
respond to viewers passing through the booth, projected
on video monitors within the space. Intrinsically linked to
the activity at EXPO, “Feedback 2” explores the use of
autonomous systems in the context of live composition.
As an interactive process, the exhibition relies on humans
relinquishing all real-time decision making, and instead
placing their trust in the nature of technology. Like any
complex system design, the installation encompasses a
network of actions and reactions, supporting one another
to create a continuous system. Unlike industrial systems
designed for specific outcomes, the intended design of
“Feedback 2” is to guarantee and create unpredictable
results.
public billboards and illuminated displays, the colorful aesthetic of these works
uses quotidian materials to address the many individuals they affect. As Holzer
has said, “There are lots of I’s and You’s in the ‘Inflammatory Essays,’ but
they’re not me. They’re many different voices on a host of unmentionable subjects.” The Rhona Hoffman Gallery booth at EXPO continues upon the Human
Rights Watch’s initiative with Holzer’s “Amber Essay,” an LED installation that
runs selected texts from the “Inflammatory Essays” in the electronic format,
which the artist has used more recently.
THE CONSERVATION CENTER
| 2013
As one of the nation’s leading private art restoration and
conservation laboratories, The Conservation Center
has cared for fine art from some of the country’s most
prestigious museums, galleries, insurance companies,
corporations, and private collections. The Conservation
Center presents an educational booth for their EXPO
CHICAGO Special Exhibition, complete with conservation tools, microscopes, and examples of contemporary
artworks before, during, and after treatment. The Center
will also act as the conservation service provider for
the fair, presenting various techniques of conservation
and materials used, as well as innovations in the field
addressing the unique conservation and framing needs of
contemporary artwork.
JEFF HIRSCH BOOKS

EXPOCHGO |
Jeff Hirsch Books, founded in 1993 in Evanston, Illinois,
specializes in 20th century photography, art and design
monographs, as well as literary first editions. Known for
its expansive inventory of exhibition catalogs and books
signed by the author or artist, Jeff Hirsch Books will
present a curated selection of books specific to this year’s
fair. Rare photography books by Ansel Adams, Sol Lewitt,
Edward Ruscha, Thomas Struth, and Andy Warhol will
be available, as well as art books from John Baldessari,
Georges Braque, Helen Frankenthaler, David Hockney,
Alex Katz, Rene Magritte, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo
Picasso, and Cy Twombly, to name a few.

HYDE PARK ART CENTER
The Hyde Park Art Center aims to stimulate and sustain
the visual arts in Chicago. Through a unique combination of an experimental and contemporary art venue, with
national draw and the accessibility of a neighborhood
organization, it is the only visual arts organization in Chicago that specifically focuses on enhancing Chicago as a
place for artists to work and live. Their Special Exhibition,
programmed by critic, painter, and co-curator of the 2014
Whitney Biennial, Michelle Grabner, features selections
from an upcoming exhibition, “A Study in Midwest Appropriation,” which will take place at The Hyde Park Art Center
shortly after the fair. Presenting work by artists Conrad
Bakker, John Riepenhoff, David Robbins, Oli Watt, and
Pedro Velez, this group exhibition surveys the defining trait
of appropriation in contemporary art from the heartland.
Drawing on the idea that artwork by Midwestern artists deploy appropriation to convey self-deprecating and comical
qualities, artists from Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, and
Minneapolis present a range of image and contentborrowing strategies, from the critical to the open-ended,
the humorous imitation to the urgent copy. Positing that
contemporary appropriation strategies are fluid in gesture,
Grabner embraces a very different ‘creative’ content than
the critical acts of appropriation that Marcel Duchamp
pioneered nearly one hundred years ago.
INDEPENDENT CURATORS INTERNATIONAL
Independent Curators International (ICI) is a non-profit
that produces exhibitions, events, publications, and training opportunities for audiences around the world. This
year at EXPO, ICI will showcase two new 2013 editions by
Marina Abramovic and Stephen J. Kaltenbach. Both are
inspired by ICI’s latest iteration of an ongoing exhibition by

THE SCHOOL OF THE ART
INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
(SAIC) has been a leading institution in
educating artists, designers, and scholars
since 1866. Located in the heart of Chicago, SAIC has an educational philosophy
built upon an interdisciplinary approach to
art and design, giving students unparalleled opportunities to develop their creative and critical abilities, while working
with renowned faculty who include many
of the leading practitioners in their fields.
Curated by Chicago-born, Los Angeles–based alumna
Amanda Ross-Ho (BFA 1998) SAIC’s exhibition at EXPO
CHICAGO will exemplify this multifaceted approach, featuring work from the diverse studio departments the school
has to offer. Heads from
each department will nominate their strongest Master
of Fine Arts candidates to be
considered for the exhibition.
Ross-Ho’s selections will feature
some of the most talented young artists producing work in Chicago today,
spanning the Painting and Drawing,
Sculpture, Photography, Performance,
and Film, Video, New Media, and Animation departments, among others.

LAUMIER SCULPTURE PARK
| 2013
One of the oldest and largest dedicated sculpture parks
in the country, Laumeier Sculpture Park is a living laboratory where artists and audiences explore the relationship
between contemporary art and the natural environment.
Presenting a mobile version of the “Laumeier Patch,” the
exhibition allows viewers to interact with a mobile station
dedicated to spreading the Park’s mission of socially engaging artistic practices with a project from the Northside
Workshop, by artists Juan William Chavez and Kiersten
Torres. Featuring artwork, performances, and Laumeier’s
archives as it travels around the community and region,
“The Patch” helps to promote the relevance of community
sculptural practice.

THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY PHOTORAPHY
The Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP) at
Columbia College Chicago returns to EXPO for the second
Amanda Ross-Ho
year to present a special video installation by LaToya
Ruby Frazier as an extension of the Museum’s concurrent
exhibition, “Backstory: LaToya Ruby Frazier, Ron Jude
and Guillaume Simoneau”. For the last decade, Frazier
has extensively documented the economic and social
struggles of her family and community in her hometown of
Braddock, Pennsylvania. Both dynamic and provocative,
Frazier’s films often show her mother and herself collaborating as two generations of women, whose familial history
trace the decline of industrial American cities. Having witnessed the close of many steel mills, and the subsequent
disappearance of the city’s prosperity, Frazier’s mother
saw the exodus of nearly all the city’s white residents.
Frazier herself watched as members of her community
succumbed to drug addiction, poverty, and terminal
illness caused by massive industrial pollution. Using the
conventions of social documentary and conceptual art to
probe and upend traditional narratives of urban growth
and the triumph of industry, Frazier draws on both familial

THE ANDY WARHOL MUSEUM
The Andy Warhol Museum, in partnership with KIWI Arts
Group, presents a special exhibition of “William John
Kennedy: The Warhol Museum Edition”. The box set,
in an edition of 50, features five signed and numbered
photographs of Andy Warhol in 1964, just prior to the
height of his popularity during the Silver Factory era.
Including a foreword written by The Warhol Museum’s
Director Eric Shiner, and an introduction by esteemed
art historian Thomas E. Crow, contributions also include
texts by Nicholas Chambers, Milton Fine curator of art at
The Warhol, and Matt Wrbican, The Warhol’s chief archivist, historically contextualizing these rare photographic
moments.

THE NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL
Founded in 1970, the Natural Resources Defense Council
(NRDC) is an international environmental advocacy
organization that aims to protect the planet’s natural
resources, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for
all living things. Continuing their partnership with EXPO
CHICAGO, NRDC returns to the fair to present the work
of Seattle-based artist Vaughn Bell. Reflecting NRDC’s
belief in the power of visual art to ignite deep conversations surrounding the protection of the planet’s environmental health, Bell’s three-piece installation creates
interactive projects and immersive environments that
relate to conservation and ownership. Bell’s “Metropolis”
will be rigged from the ceiling of Navy Pier. Allowing viewers to place their heads within the sculpture, the result
is a larger than life perspective of nature within urban
life. Similarly, “A Pack of Forests,” explores the idea
of environmental portability, human connections, and
stewardship. These mobile sculptures will be “walked”
throughout the fair, underscoring the care and attention
one must give to the environment. Bell will also create
a limited edition of “Pocket Biospheres,” small pieces of
the environment that are available for “adoption” during
the course of the fair. Each adoption is documented and
displayed at the NRDC booth throughout the exposition.
mittee, and Logan Center Exhibitions—as well as the new
Arts and Public Life initiative, and the Departments of
Visual Arts and Art History. The Headquarters signals a
spirit of collaboration, which is integral to the evolution of
each individual initiative, as well as the role of the arts at
the University, and to the shape of Chicago’s greater contemporary art landscape. For this presentation at EXPO,
the University of Chicago Headquarters foregrounds the
work of three artists: New York and Houston based Mary
Ellen Carroll, whose project “Open Outcry” was originally
presented as part of “Feast: Radical Hospitality in
Contemporary Art,” at the Smart Museum of Art, in 2012,
Chicago-based Shane Ward, and David Giordano, both
of whom graduated from the University of Chicago, MFA
2012. Their works reflect the common ideals driving the
HQ partners’ collective efforts. Complete with seating,
the booth will encourage viewers to read through Univer-
Committed to collecting challenging and inventive young
artists’ work for the past fifteen years, The West Collection presents a selection of Taipei born, New York-based
artist Longbin Chen’s “Composers.” Crafted out of the
printed matter that surrounds him at the time, including
telephone books, magazines, and novels, Chen sculpts
the faces of famous composers into the unbound pages,
leaving the spines of the books exposed behind the
busts. The results resemble marble or stonework, though
the sculptures are soft. In addition to the busts, each
pedestal contains a sound piece of the composer, which
plays as viewers approach the work.
WHITECHAPEL GALLERY
Playing a central role in London’s cultural landscape
and a touchstone for contemporary art internationally,
Whitechapel Gallery has produced high quality limited
edition artworks since 2000 to accompany each exhibition through the generous donations of artists. As part of
their fundraising initiative, and in collaboration with some
of the world’s leading contemporary artists, Whitechapel’s Special Exhibition brings the editions of famed
artists, including Theaster Gates, Pedro Reyes, Chantel
Joffe, Candida Höfer, Tomma Abts, Rachel Harrison,
Zarina Bhimji, Raymond Pettibon, and John Baldessari.
Limited editions provide a rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire works by the very best contemporary
artists for collectors.

RENAISSANCE SOCIETY
Joining EXPO for a second year, the Renaissance
Society, a non-collecting museum of contemporary art,
presents a limited edition photo portfolio featuring work
by twelve artists who have produced solo exhibitions at
the museum. Including artists Darren Almond, Lothar
Baumgarten, Jean-Marc Bustamante, Willie Doherty,
Stan Douglas, Fischli/Weiss, Rodney Graham, Arturo
Herrera, Zoe Leonard, Laura Letinsky, Thomas Struth,
and Jeff Wall, the unique prints reflect the artist’s practice around the time he or she worked with the Society.
The aesthetic breadth and diversity of the photographs
included make this portfolio a striking survey of the
medium’s recent history, and represent the Society’s
consistent address of the form.

THE GRID
The floor plan, patterned after the city’s gridded streets and lined
with exhibition spaces, enables visitors to view every gallery in sequence without losing their way. A diagonal “avenue” gives visitors
the option to see selected work and installations along a single
path. Plazas and amenities, including dining space and lounges,
punctuate the street grid, offering a range of opportunities to relax,
eat, or drink without needing to leave the show.
THE CONES
Gargantuan cones suspended above the galleries reflect the art
and activity below while also creating individual, enclosed atmospheres where patrons can rest and socialize. These colossal
installations also serve to orient visitors and add optical flair to the
space.

EXPO VIDEO
The new video lounge features interactive displays highlighting
the work of multiple artists. Natural wood display stands and log
seating designed by Studio Gang define the lounge space without
obstructing views to the galleries beyond.

We tend to buy art based on emotion, and oftentimes we seek support from family, friends or other advisors to reinforce our preferences. Sometimes they also caution us against making impulse
purchases we may later regret. They help us stay focused on our
long-term goals while keeping in-tune with what brings us joy and
makes us feel fulfilled.
The enjoyment I take in my own art collection has been enhanced
by the relationships I have cultivated with the individual artists.
Hearing their stories and their inspiration has shaped my personal
collection in ways I would have never envisioned.
In this same way, relationships with financial advisors are not always
about the bottom line of a statement balance, but the personal
connection we share. These relationships can be powerful, and the
best ones enrich our lives and help us leave a lasting legacy for our
families and the philanthropic causes that hold deep meaning to us.
So what better way to introduce lovers of contemporary art to
Northern Trust than through the commonalities we share. Our rich
history of supporting the arts takes many forms, and our sponsorship of EXPO Chicago has already introduced emerging artists to
the community and our clients. I look forward to meeting new artists
at this year’s event whose stories will no doubt continue to deepen
my appreciation of contemporary art. Who knows, I may also find
that magical next piece for my collection, too.

Who can explain that mysterious process that escalates casual appreciation into investment and ownership? The only answer is that
it is a purely personal choice. Northern Trust’s sponsorship of EXPO
CHICAGO has given me the opportunity to think about my own relationship with contemporary art and how it relates to the business we
are in. The correlation is much stronger than you might think.
