Chicago’s large art fair is known as EXPO CHICAGO. It has
an evolving history. Prior to its current iteration, Navy Pier hosted
significant art fairs that laid the groundwork for the city's contemporary art
scene. In the late 20th century, Chicago
saw various art fair initiatives, but it was in the early 2000s that a more
consistent presence emerged.
My wife and I started to visit the annual art fairs in
the early 2000s and I still do.
In 2012, Tony Karman
launched EXPO CHICAGO, aiming to establish a prominent international art fair
in the city. Karman's vision was to create a platform that would attract
leading world galleries and affluent collectors, solidifying Chicago's position
as a vital hub for contemporary and modern art.
EXPO CHICAGO
rapidly gained recognition, attracting prestigious galleries from around the
globe. The fair focuses on high-quality presentations, curated programs, and
engaging educational discussions for art students. It is key event in the international art
calendar, drawing comparisons to Art
Basel due to its scale and significance. The 2025 Chicago fair includes 170
leading international galleries from 36 countries.
Below are a few fun photos of art works, openly
presented to the public over the past 13 years, that I curated from my photo
albums.
