Summer Visions: River North Galleries

Join Art Encounter’s Artistic Director Joanna Pinsky to explore exciting exhibits in galleries throughout River North. Beginning at Zolla/Lieberman Gallery, discover paintings by the late Vera Klement, one of Chicago’s most original and remarkable artists. Combining heavy brushstrokes and thin washes, Klement juxtaposes images that initially seem unrelated but, upon inspection, suggest multiple connections both personal and universal. From there, we’ll continue investigating representational images at Rosenthal Fine Art, Inc., featuring The New Realism: works by famous twentieth century artists using different approaches to portraying actuality, including work by Jerry Ott, Jack Beal, Raphael Soyer and Claes Oldenburg. We will conclude at Gallery Victor with incredible graphite drawings of nature by Don Pollack, as well as selected works by other artists in the gallery’s recently expanded space.
