SATURDAY, APRIL 25, ART CHICAGO 2008
Join Art Encounter for a private tour of this spectacular exhibit before it opens to the public for the day. Since the Merchandise Mart took over this exhibition, it has expanded, attracting some of the most prestigious international galleries. Let us help you make sense of this show, on an entire Mart floor, as you find out about the latest art trends and discover extraordinary masterpieces from around the world. Plan to spend the day and investigate satellite exhibits including Next, emerging galleries, The Project Space, independent artists and Intuit, an exhibit of outsider and folk art.

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.
