SUNDAY JULY 20TH

ART ENCOUNTER FRIENDS AT THE HOME OF JUDY SASLOW
Members of Art Encounter Friends are invited for an exclusive tour of this River North art dealer’s home.  Judy spent two years looking for the right space to house her impressive collection and finally found it in a vintage building in Streeterville. The eclectic collection contains prints and ceramics by famous modern artists such as Dubuffet, Calder, and Picasso, but focuses mainly on American and European outsider artists. A special feature is a huge collection of paintings by former slave Bill Traylor.
