This summer features an enticing lineup of exhibitions from Jim Dine paintings at Richard Gray Gallery's new warehouse space to a survey of work by Angela Gonzales at Fermilab Art Gallery.

Deana Lawson | Rhona Hoffman Gallery

Her exhibition features a new body of work that was first presented at the Whitney Biennial 2017, along with other recent photographs. 

Through May 26, Rhona Hoffman Gallery, 118 N. Peoria. Read more

Roberto Salas | Rangefinder Gallery
