Reaves often begins with found furniture, which she dismantles, converts, remakes, enhances, pads, and embellishes in ways that still allow the suggestion of physical contact or use. By breaking things open, she proposes that they be examined visually and in terms of their purpose in life. The exhibition at The Arts Club of Chicago centers on the work Personal Heat, 2021, a deconstructed étagère with accompanying video that explores themes of renovation and rebellion. The sculptural aspect features a pop punk aesthetic of hot pink animal stripes, as if Reaves had been locked in a room in her great aunt’s house with a can of paint, a saw, and some wood glue.<a href="https://www.artsclubchicago.org">The Arts Club</a>Feb 16–May 20&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419149/becpizl7q4hwzg13vuvt.jpg"><figcaption>EXPO CHICAGO Vernissage, 2019.

Serrano says it was an easy connection for him to make between the business of real estate and a larger message about Chicago’s identity.“The title of it is ‘Hope: the Journey Together Towards the Future’ and it features a couple of different elements that are central to what I think is a shared goal of home. When you establish home, whether it’s your apartment or you buy your first home that you’re thinking about your kids, you’re thinking about your family, you’re thinking about your community, your neighbors, the city,” he said.&nbsp;Via WTTW&nbsp;</body></html>

Griffin&nbsp;became the first person to spend half a billion dollars on art in a single transaction.&nbsp;David Geffen made a deal with Griffin to sell him Willem de Kooning’s boldly colored abstract masterpiece&nbsp;Interchange for $300 million, and Jackson Pollock’s&nbsp;Number 17A—the splatter painting&nbsp;Life magazine&nbsp;plastered in its pages in 1949, minting Jack the Dripper an American celebrity—for $200 million.&nbsp;Griffin could have scurried away with the masterpieces to one of his homes: a $238 million apartment at 220 Central Park West and a $120 million London mansion near Buckingham Palace, the most expensive apartment in Chicago history, getaways in Aspen and Hawaii, a large chunk of Miami’s Star Island. Instead he let them go on view at the Art Institute of Chicago, placing 20th-century masterworks next to the museum’s iconic impressionist and postimpressionist holdings.Via Vanity Fair&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419148/mnenxpc14jajgfcsmdga.png"><figcaption>From left, Roy Lichtenstein’s “Thinking of Him,” 1963; Marjorie Strider’s “Girl With Radish,” 1963; and Rosalyn Drexler’s “Self-Portrait,” 1964, in “New York: 1962-1964.”Credit...Rosalyn Drexler/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York; Lila Barth, courtesy of The New York Times</figcaption></figure><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/07/arts/design/best-art-2022.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare">NYT's Best Art of 2022</a>This was a year whose high points included an adult-feeling Whitney Biennial, a major survey of contemporary Puerto Rican art, and one of the great big-little exhibitions of all time.Via NYT&nbsp;<a href="https://news.artnet.com/market/trump-nft-trading-cards-sell-out-2231544">Donald Trump’s Surreal Line of NFT Portraits Sold Out Within a Day—and Are Now Trading for as Much as $44,000</a>Former President Donald Trump has sold a lot of self-branded products in his day.

A promised gift of 97 prints and drawings—from artists including Josef Albers, Eva Hesse, Lee Bontecou, Judy Chicago, Donald Judd, and Sol LeWitt—will be united with more than 100 previously given works from The Stenn Family, creating a truly outstanding collection of works on paper by Pop, Conceptual, and Minimal artists from the 20th century.

But in many ways it’s less about losses than gains—how ideas, practices, friendships, relationships, and passions endure and are kept alive. “I used to think that monuments were about statues of old guys,” Gates explains. “But when I was doing my master’s thesis, I wrote about a synagogue on the West Side of Chicago that had been transformed into a Baptist church, a flea market, and a synagogue again over 80 years. The synagogue is a monument. It is a testament to the truth of many accumulated lives.”<a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a41931381/0146-0157-the-chicago-school-december-2022/">Via Harper's Bazaar</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://greatlakesbydesign.com/2022/11/15/in-contemporary-modern-exhibition/">Coverage of the New WHO Modern / (northern)Western Exhibitions&nbsp;</a>In a renovated, bowstring truss building in Skokie, Illinois, a joint venture between (northern) Western Exhibitions and WHO Modern officially opened its doors this past weekend to celebrate the launch of its shared space featuring contemporary art, midcentury modern design, vintage furniture, and decorative objects.

Presented each year at the Studio Museum’s fall Gala, the award recognizes and honors the artistic achievements of an African-American artist who demonstrates great innovation, promise, and creativity. Envisioned as an extension of the Studio Museum’s mission to support experimentation and excellence in contemporary art, the Prize includes an unrestricted monetary award of $50,000.&nbsp;On October 24, 2022, The Studio Museum in Harlem was proud to announce artist Caroline Kent as a recipient of this prestigious award.Via PATRON Gallery&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419127/ikiofy4a7mamnwx8ignq.png"></figure>Chicago Artists Coalition Welcomes new curatorial residents for the HATCH residency program, 2023-24.Denny Mwaura is a curator and writer based in Chicago.

<a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/arts/2022/10/27/artprize-moves-to-new-format-partnership/69597727007/">ArtPrize bows out in favor of new format, partnership</a>About 13 years after its debut and more than $6 million in awards and grants, the renowned ArtPrize contest in west Michigan will bow out and a new format will take its place through a partnership, officials announced Thursday.The effort, slated to be called "ArtPrize 2.0," is expected to "build upon the legacy of the international art competition," representatives said in a statement.Downtown Grand Rapids Inc., the city of Grand Rapids and Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University are leading the initiative."While there are certainly mixed emotions, we know the time is right to conclude the original ArtPrize experiment and open up space for new energy and creativity," said Rick DeVos, ArtPrize founder and chairman. "We are thrilled that the partnership of DGRI, KCAD, and the City of Grand Rapids is stepping forward to continue to produce an incredible fall event."Via Detroit News&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-ent-jerry-saltz-art-is-life-chicago-20221031-3tk6btvtrfcyzmcmapm7met3py-story.html">The Chicago origin — and breakdown — of Jerry Saltz, the everyman’s art critic</a>Decades before he became arguably the most important art critic in America, long ago when print was king and being the most important art critic in America meant having the gravitas to influence the direction of the art world itself, Jerry Saltz vowed to stand outside of the art world looking in. Being from Chicago helped. Having a minuscule studio near the Red Line in the Loop helped. Meeting <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/museums/ct-ent-0119-freed-collection-chicago-outsider-art-sale-20180115-story.html">outsider Chicago artists</a> like Joseph Yoakum and Lee Godie, and having grown up without much art at all, helped. Becoming a self-taught artist, and showing more affinity early on for the ancient art in the Field Museum than the celebrated art movements splashed across the Art Institute, that helped, too. As Saltz would write many years later, he loved that the Field was full of art removed from the burdens and judgments of the art world.Via Chicago Tribune&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/architecture-innovator-2022-jeanne-gang-studio-american-museum-natural-history-11666730917?st=gr6qkwgzdcv0ojh&amp;reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink">The Architect Behind New York’s Most Exciting New Building</a>This past spring, architect Jeanne Gang stood on the western edge of the natural history museum’s campus and watched as concrete spewed into the air through mechanized nozzles, clotting like wet snow around skeletons of wire and steel rebar to form the substance of her firm Studio Gang’s latest building. More like a landscape carved by wind and water than any kind of human creation, the six-story structure at West 79th Street and Columbus Avenue flows out of an opening between a clutch of existing buildings and announces itself to the world through a 65-foot-tall portal of glass, beckoning to be explored.Via WSJ&nbsp;<a href="https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/andy-warhol-sothebys-car-crash-painting-sale-1234644632/">Monumental Warhol ‘Car Crash’ Painting to Sell at Sotheby’s for More Than $80&nbsp;M.</a>An Andy Warhol painting from his famed “Death and Disasters” series will be auctioned during Sotheby’s marquee New York sales, where it could become one of the most expensive works by the artist ever publicly sold.Estimated to fetch a price in excess of $80 million, White Disaster (White Car Crash 19 Times), from 1963, will be sold on November 16 during a contemporary art evening sale.

The merger integrates GLP into the Art Center’s existing Publications Program, which crystallizes the Art Center’s role as a critical presenting institution for emerging and mid-career artists in Chicago through exhibition catalogs and documentation, while building on GLP’S legacy of fostering dynamic dialogues between artists and writers.Moving forward, all of the Art Center’s exhibition catalogs and publications will be published by GLP and disseminated through GLP’s national distribution network. Additional projects supporting emerging art writers and experimental projects will be curated by the Art Center and produced by GLP for local and national distribution. Past GLP publications will continue to be circulated by Hyde Park Art Center.
