ON THE COVER 36 Years Championing Abstract Art This coming August Roy Boyd Gallery will mark its 36th Anniversary, continuing to primarily focus on showing abstract art.
While our major interest remains abstract painting, we show a few artists who do not fit the mold exactly and that keeps the mix interesting for us.
For the past 23 years we have been in our current location, which contains the gallery as well as our home. The building continues to serve our needs well for both living and exhibiting.
In some cases the interests of our artists have changed and we continue to follow them.
Over these years, abstraction has been declared passé a few times and then we have seen interest revived. There are always artists who come along with fresh viewpoints who startle and please us with their work.
We are grateful to our artists and the collectors who share our vision. Vadim Katznelson, Cristalical Mass, 37.5" x 37.5", 2007

Artropolis 2008 Delivers a Bigger Art Chicago, and Introduces NEXT
Letter from the Publisher In Chicago we’re short on spring, and we have our share of rain and cold, sometimes until May, but the art world shows its own clear signs of spring, most notably the arrival in late April of the art fair season. Artropolis beckons the art world to our city, and the added bonus for locals is that we are reminded to visit the galleries, to start thinking about art and take advantage of the energy and excitement that comes with hosting major international galleries and visitors in our city. Art fairs are a specific kind of experience. They provide opportunities to observe, learn and study, critique and share fine art with many other people. However, attending an art fair is an appropriately subjective experience and attending one is different each time. My parents took me to what seemed like endless antique fairs when I was growing up and I knew the drill: the busyness, the many dealers, a lot of walking, a lot of decision making and a lot of history I didn’t understand. The trips were tedious and tiresome. I visited London right after high school, and I had just finished my first of many art history courses. I visited a major fair in town, bouyed by relevant knowledge and a new interest in art; for the first time, I understood what it meant that the work displayed, much of which was by very major artists I had studied but had seen only in museums, was for sale. It was acquireable. I couldn’t buy a thing, probably not even the catalogue, but I was struck by the possibility of collecting. If someone wanted to take a work of art home, they theoretically could. They could have it in their own home and live with it every day. And then buy more. For anyone attending a major art exhibition for the first time, I will skip the usual remarks advising wearing comfortable shoes and encourage you to simply take advantage of the chance to visit the hundreds of premiere exhibitors at Artropolis, and afterward Chicago’s galleries. The fairs at Artropolis are a great starting point, but we lucky locals won’t run out of art once the visitors pack up and go home.
Artropolis™ is the name for the fine art bohemoth that is 5 art fairs in one weekend under the Merchandise Mart’s roof this April. A “citywide celebration of arts, antiques and culture”, Artropolis™attracts thousands of visitors and offers up the city of Chicago as the ideal playground to enjoy art and entertainment experiences unique to the city. Major museums, galleries, concert halls, clubs and restaurants are focused on all things art for a few days during the end of spring, giving Chicagoans new ways to experience the city, and giving outsiders many reasons to visit, only to leave wishing they could stay.
An Access Point to Art Artropolis is open to everyone who wants to come, promising to keep every visitor busy for 4 art-loaded days. For seasoned collectors, Art Chicago will offer exclusive access to many unique opportunities during the weekend. Veteran art experts will have new chances to see the homes and collections of area collectors and to connect with each other. But anyone with any interest in art will feel included and catered to. After all, it doesn’t cost a thing to look and to learn. Artropolis is the access point to all things art, and it is sure to cultivate and bring along art enthusiasts at every stage. Start here, and make art a part of your life for the rest of 2008 and beyond.
ART CHICAGO www.artchicago.com In 2006, Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. rescued Art Chicago from a near certain and sudden stop. The team at the Mart quickly undertook a crash course about how to best mount what had to be a world class, international art exposition. And deliver it they did. Two years later, and building on the indisputable success of the 2007 fair, Art Chicago looks bigger (181 premier international exhibitors) and better than ever. Truly, 2008 boasts some significant changes at the Fair. “In every measurable way,” commented Merchandise Mart Senior Vice President Mark Falanga, “Art Chicago is bigger and better. We attribute many of these improvements to the standards established by our Selection Committee, which was re-instituted in 2007.” One thing is already sure: Art Chicago is robust and healthy, and the city’s many galleries continue to be vital during the rest of the year. Artropolis marks the start of what is to come this year and indicates we are heading in expanded, creative directions.
What you need to know: hours & tickets Chicago’s Celebration of Art, Antiques & Culture
In Chicago, I don’t actually mind cold temperatures, but I look forward to Chicago’s change of seasons the natural as well as the art ones. This spring and summer, I’ll still be struck again by the possibility that’s inherent in a quality art fair and in engaging art, and I’ll keep in mind what I’d like to acquire if I could. The most impressive thing about Artropolis is knowing how strong the Chicago gallery showing is, including the 54 participating galleries as well as Chicago’s own collectors and enthusiasts. When the fair is over, those outstanding galleries are still here the other 51 weeks of the year. Our city will be represented on every level, and that is something to really be proud of! - Ginny Berg

Art Chicago Speaks & NEXT Talk Shop Line-up
NEXT www.nextartfair.com NEXT is a new invitational fair, accompanying Art Chicago for the first time, and it follows some other young/emerging gallery satellite fair attempts in the past, such as the Stray Show, and the Bridge Art Fair. Created by local gallery owner, Kavi Gupta, Kavi Gupta Gallery, and critic/curator Christian Viveros-Fauné, this new fair promises curatorial visions of some of the most significant developments in contemporary art, including works from commercial as well as non-commercial arts organizations, and a picture of the current public as well as private sector arts landscape. The exhibition intends to represent the “NEXT” step in innovative contemporary art presentation and marketing and is a very welcome young addition to the Artropolis line-up. Hosting a show like NEXT in Chicago bodes well for the future health of area galleries and brings a high-minded focus to our younger galleries. NEXT is a smaller show than Art Chicago, size-wise, but its impact will be large; visiting two concurrent shows that both focus so much on contemporary fine art will be a new experience this year. NEXT will occupy the 7th floor of the Mart, where Art Chicago was held in 2007.

The Merchandise Mart International Antiques Fair www.merchandisemartantiques.com
Ask Natalie Question: How do I know if the artwork I am considering is original — and not a fake or a reproduction? Answer: “Original” can be a confusing word — particularly with works on paper. Before addressing issues about “original” paintings and other forms of art, it is important to understand what it means for a work to be “original” in printmaking. While there are “mono-prints” (one-of-a-kind) works of art, most fine prints are created in editions. These multiple originals are hand signed and supervised by the artist; are limited in number and well documented, and are NOT reproductions. Processes include lithography, serigraphy, etching, woodcut, aquatint, drypoint and others. A reputable dealer will explain the process, tell you how many prints are in the edition, and provide documentation to assure you of the work’s originality. Again, “original” may not be synonymous with “unique.” The important distinction is that it is not a reproduction or photo-mechanical copy of the artist’s creation. “Fakes” surface when disreputable sellers of art try to pass off work that has been created in a huge edition, as part of a book, or has been mechanically reproduced — and then try to sell it as a valuable “original” print. Usually those prints are by well-known artists in the “secondary market” — work that has been owned previously and brought to the market for resale on behalf of collectors or estates. (Fake paintings or drawings can also be found in the secondary market, but are less likely to attract a beginning collector.)
The Merchandise Mart International Antiques Fair™ returns for its 11th year, and more than 120 of the top national and international antiques and fine art dealers will display a wide range of offerings from across the globe, including 20th Century Design, Architectural Design, Asian Art & Antiquities, Barometers, Ceramics, Coins, Decorative Arts, Folk Art, Furniture, Glass, Jewelry, Paintings, Posters, Prints, Rare Books and Maps, Sculpture, Silver, Textiles and Tribal Art. Courtesy Harlan J. Berk, Ltd.
Known as the premier antiques fair in the Midwest, all visitors, including collectors, connoisseurs, designers and the general public, will appreciate the intimate and elegant environment in which to see a broad range of high-quality antiques. This year’s Fair will again feature dealers from Paris’ famed Marche aux Puces as well as members of LAPADA, the UK’s largest trade association of professional art and antiques dealers.
Intuit Show of Folk and Outsider Art www.art.org/intuitshow The Intuit Show of Folk and Outsider Art is sponsored by and benefits Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art. Featuring self-taught, ethnographic and outsider art, art brut, visionary and non-traditional folk art, the Intuit Show is a distinct element of Artropolis, and some of Chicago’s own expert galleries will be participating.
New Insight An exhibition of artwork by promising young contemporary artists, curated by Susanne Ghez, Director of the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, and coordinated by Sarah Krepp, Chicago artist and a professor at UIUC. New Insight made its debut at Art Chicago™ 2007 with an amazing display of the future emerging talent in the art world; in 2008, New Insight is comprised of artwork from 24 graduate students at 12 of the country’s most influential Master of Fine Arts programs, including the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, University of Illinois at Chicago and University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
The Artist Project www.theartistproject.com
Bottom line? If a work of art is by a famous artist (ex. Picasso, Chagall, Miró) and the price seems too good to be true – it probably is. But you are not the expert. Find a dealer you can trust (most are quite helpful and reputable), and don’t hesitate in getting a second opinion about the piece or the gallery. Also be cautious when buying on the internet, unless you have solid information on the source of the resale.
The Artist Project is Artropolis’ key event dedicated to the independent artist. The 2nd annual exhibition and sale will feature original work from a juried selection of 300 established and emerging artists currently unaffiliated within the gallery community. a rare opportunity to discover and obtain art directly from a talented group of artists.
For additional ideas about ethics, originality and fine art, visit www.chicagoartdealers.org (CADA); www.printdealers.com, the website of the International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA); and the Collectors Guide on www.artdealers.org (Art Dealers Association of America).

1. How long have you been in the art business? I have been in the art business for over 40 years. Beginning in 1964, I worked for a gallery in London for two and a half years, then as a private dealer in Paris from 1966 to1976, traveling to the US frequently. Moving to Chicago in 1976, I opened the the Young Hoffman Gallery with Rhona Hoffman. In 1983 I opened my own space, the Donald Young Gallery, in River North. I moved the gallery to Seattle in the early 90s, but returned to Chicago in 1999, establishing the gallery in the West Loop. 2. What keeps you based in this city? The strength and honesty of the best American city. 3. When you were first a dealer, who or what inspired you? My one and only employer in London, Robert Lewin, Brookstreet Gallery, and Bud Holland in Chicago. 4. Have you ever shared or received a piece of particularly bad, or good, advice with/from another dealer? Only deal with what you love. 5. How do you see Chicago’s current art scene, compared to other times throughout your career? The scene is much younger and more vibrant today. 6. What excites and /or concerns you most about the international art scene? What excites me is the increased number of people involved, what concerns me is the emphasis on speculation and money. 7. Major fairs in Basel, Switzerland and in Miami have led to an explosion of satellite fairs; where does the trend go from there? And, do you see the same eventually happening in Chicago? Chicago is lucky to have one good fair. 8. Art Chicago itself appears to be back on track. Your thoughts on that? I agree that Art Chicago is back on track and should increase in quality. 9. Do you think the “Art Fair” will someday make the “Gallery” obsolete? The art fair only exists because of gallery activity. 10. Is any one region of the world particularly ripe for the next big “thing” in art? Or, do you think a specific focus in the art world is poised to be a new standout? We need fewer “things” (e.g. China) and more art.

Jeff Koons Hangs His Heart at the MCA This Summer may 31 - september 21, 2008 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Contemporary artist Jeff Koons is an international art celebrity with many ties to Chicago. His exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art this summer is notable for several reasons: the show is Koons’ largest survey in 15 years, and Koons’ history with the MCA includes once working there. He also studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Chicagoans are particularly fortunate: the MCA is the only venue for this show. Fernando Botero’s work will be at ARTEahora
Chicago dealer Aldo Castillo, Aldo Castillo Gallery, has spearheaded an effort to bring the first Latin American Art Fair to Chicago this spring, at the same time art enthusiasts will descend on the city for the 5 fairs that are part of the Merchandise Mart’s Artropolis.
Exhibited pieces have been selected from each of Koons’ series, and the artist personally worked closely with the MCA to create a carefully selected survey focusing on his most iconic works, including both sculptures and paintings, from the 1980s to the present. One of his most recognized recent pieces, Hanging Heart (Blue/Silver), will hang from the MCA's atrium ceiling as a centerpiece to the exhibition. Koons’ work has addressed objects and their economic and cultural value, vanity, excess and consumption, power and status, ego, class, pop culture, kitsch and taste, sex and ecstasy, faith, enlightenment, notions of scale, hyperrealism, color, texture and detail and more.
Focus Taking place at the River East Art Center in Streeterville, Chicago ARTEahora will focus on the significant role Latin American Art currently plays in the international art arena. The curated exhibition will concentrate on modern and contemporary Latin American Art, its history, progress and the cross-cultural impact it has around the world. Artists Chicago ARTEahora will feature works by both well-known and established 20th and 21st Century Latin American artists, cuttingedge newcomers, as well as the self-taught. This bringing-together aims to highlight Latin American Art through special exhibitions, educational programs and crossover events including music, film, theater, fashion, architecture and design. Curators Art dealers and curators, Aldo Castillo and Thomas Monahan, a private dealer in Chicago representing Latin American artists, are collaborating to produce the exhibition. The President of River East Art Center, Mikki Markowicz, is hosting the fair. Hernan Carrara, the Executive Director and founder of the Miami Beachbased Miami Art Project is a consultant for Chicago ARTEahora. Host River East Art Center Chicago ARTEahora 465 E.

Jeff Koons, Hanging Heart (Blue/Silver), 1994-2006. Collection of William J. Bell. © Jeff Koons.
Hanging Heart is from Koons’ Celebration series, during the time when his young son was abducted. Koons’ used the artwork as a way to convey to his son that he was intensely thinking of him while he was gone. Koons has a strong connection to Chicago, where he came in the 1970s to study at SAIC under artists Ed Paschke and Jim Nutt and briefly worked at the MCA as a preparator. This was a critical time for Koons, what he calls a period of transcendence. Working for and befriending the artist Ed Paschke steered him to becoming a professional artist, and Koons eventually saw his ideas in the Chicago Imagists, one genre that communicated with personal icons. Through Paschke and others, he looked to the external world to find his personal iconography, which he used to explore his subjectivity, transcend his limits, and fulfill his potential as an artist. There will be several chances not only to see the exhibit at the museum but to hear from curators Francesco Bonami and Lynne Warren about Koons’ Chicago roots and the many influences other Chicago artists, such as Ed Paschke, Jim Nutt, H.C. Westermann and others, have had on his work. Chicago welcomes the rare opportunity to be the unique home to Koons and his many works of art here in the city this summer! 22

In January, work began to restore the Louis Comfort Tiffany art glass dome - the world’s largest by Tiffany in Preston Bradley Hall in the Chicago Cultural Center. The dome, completed in 1897 when the building was opened as the first Chicago Public Library, measures 48’ in diameter, covers over 1,000 sq ft. and is constructed of about 30,000 pieces of glass in 241 sections within a cast iron frame.
On june 6, an exhibition of work by Julie Farstad will open at The South Bend Regional Musuem of Art in South Bend, IN.
"The Chicago Cultural Center offers more than 700 free programs each year and welcomes roughly 800,000 visitors, many of them stopping to admire the Tiffany glass dome while they're here," explained Commissioner Lois Weisberg. "It's very important that we preserve this rare and remarkable Chicago treasure for future generations to enjoy." The Tiffany dome was last repaired in 1977, and today’s restoration is due to over 1,500 pieces of cracked and dirty glass. By mid summer the glass in the Tiffany dome will be cleaned and replaced as necessary, and the cast iron frame will be cleaned and restored to its original color. The outer copper dome will be removed and replaced with a transparent fiberglass skylight to allow natural light to illuminate the dome once again. Most of Preston Bradley Hall will be closed off from April thru June for the cleaning and restoration, but the public can view construction activity from the space’s outer perimeters.

Randolph Street Market Brings Outdoor Antiques Hunt to the West Loop This summer the 5th season of the Randolph Street Market, located in the historic Randolph St. Market District, comes back to the city. Everyone loves a treasure hunt, especially one that offers more than one pot of gold, and is also family and pet friendly. Set in the West Loop, this is a monthly indoor and outdoor European-style urban antique market. If you’re interested in art, you can enjoy something different each weekend, and visit a few new restaurants and galleries while you’re around. It’s okay to get away from the lake for a bit and stroll through the antiques stalls, looking through the various offerings and art. Dealers have been hand-picked to participate each month, so you’ll see a range of items each time you go, and you’ll be in the company of collectors, dealers, retail buyers and designers. Other things to note: • The Randolph Street Market is home to the indie designer MARKET, featuring young designers creating avant garde, unique fashion, art, jewelry and decor • Parents: your kids can experience the first ever Junior Collectors Club. Kids learn how to start a collection, hunt for treasures and win prizes 2008 Dates, Hours & Info: ‘admission is $10 for 2 days’ www.randolphstreetmarket.com Saturdays & Sundays Saturdays: 10am - 5pm (outdoors open); 11am - 5pm (indoors open) Sundays: 9am - 4pm may 24-25, (Memorial Day Weekend Season Opening) june 28-29, july 26-27, august 30-31, september 27-28, october 25-26 24
