“Art Chicago and NEXT are in top form this year,” says Paul Morris, Vice President of MMPI Art Shows and Director of Art Chicago | NEXT. “With a more focused floor-plan, the dual presentation of both fairs will allow our visitors greater access to the art on view and the public programming.”
Ken Tyburski, the Curatorial Director of NEXT, notes that “We are thrilled for NEXT to be showing with Art Chicago this year. The energy of the dealers and collectors this year is unlike any I’ve seen and we feel the synergy of having both fairs occurring alongside each other will really show in the energy, excitement and visitors.”
