Visit Michael Rosenfeld Gallery at Booth 111

Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is excited to return to EXPO CHICAGO after a ten-year hiatus with a presentation of major twentieth and twenty-first-century artworks that exemplify the gallery’s commitment to expanding the canon of American art. Encompassing a wide range of disciplines including painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, and assemblage, the exhibition will be anchored by masterworks by represented artists and those long associated with the gallery’s program. In honor of Chicago’s vital history as a cultural hub, Booth 111 will feature several artists associated with the city. Major works by native Chicagoans Eldzier Cortor (1916–2015), Archibald J. Motley, Jr. (1891–1981), Theodore Roszak (1907–1981), and Charles White (1918–1979) will be featured alongside works by artists who found their voice at the city’s premier art schools, such as Benny Andrews (1930–2006), Richmond Barthé (1901–1989), Raymond Jonson (1891–1982), and Lenore Tawney (1907–2007). Spanning nearly nine decades of American art, Michael Rosenfeld Gallery’s EXPO CHICAGO presentation encapsulates the inclusive range of artists who have made essential contributions to the country’s cultural history that the gallery has championed for over thirty-five years.
