Gagosian Returns to the Midwest, Joining EXPO Chicago After Long Absence From the Windy City – artnet News

EXPO CHICAGOhas reeled in some big fish for its sixth edition, which opens at Navy Pier on September 13 (through September 17). The biggest fish on the exhibitor list? Gagosian Gallery, which has not participated in a Chicago fair for decades.

As fairs become increasingly large contributors to mega-galleries bottom lines, dealers decisions about which ones to join can signal where they see potential for market growthand which collectors, and regions, they want to cultivate.

Other notable additions to the sixth edition of EXPO CHICAGO include: Tina Kim Gallery (New York); STANDARD (Oslo); Anton Kern Gallery (New York); Ceysson &Bntire (Saint-tienne, Paris, Luxembourg, New York);galerie frank elbaz (Paris, Dallas); and Galeria Filomena Soares (Lisbon).

Notably, Gagosianhas not hesitated to try out regional fairs in the pastbut it is also not afraid to jump ship if an experiment isnt paying off. Having participated in the Seattle Art Fairs inaugural edition, the gallerydid not return for the second. (After Gagosians Lidia Andich joined the fairs selection committee, the galleryis back on board for the 2017 edition this summer.) Gagosian also participated in FOG Art + Design in San Francisco this January and the Dallas Art Fair in April.

In a statement, the fairs director, Tony Karman, said the latest lineup reflects the international partnerships, collaborations, and programming that our extraordinary staff has encouraged and fostered over the last several years.

This years edition also includes a new section, EXPO Profile, dedicated to single-artist and thematic installations. GRIMM gallery will present works by Charles Avery (and also have a second booth in the main section of the fair) and R & Company will dedicate their booth to the Italian design movement SuperDesign, among other projects.
