Locks Gallery Showing Works By Thomas Chimes And Louise Nevelson At Expo Chicago 2012

Locks Gallery, in Philadelphia, has been around for over 40 years. They work with contemporary artists—most of whom are well established but certainly not all. They do have some up and coming artists.

They also have an active program of exhibitions working with well known artists or their estates. I love when galleries do these sorts of exhibitions.  There is something special about a gallery exhibition rather than a museum exhibition. What is that? I have no idea but there IS something.

They work with area artists, such as Thomas Chimes whose work is below, and also release impressive catalogs of their exhibits.

Two of the artists at their booth at Expo Chicago 2012 were Chimes and Louise Nevelson.

Pieces by Nevelson (above) seemed to be everywhere at the satellite fairs during Art Basel Miami. Her distinctive, black, wooden sculptures are difficult to miss once you become familiar. There were actually a few people imitating Nevelson’s work which boggles the mind. Why duplicate pieces like hers?

Nevelson was Russian but came to the USA at a young age in the early 1900s. She studied at The Art Students League of New York and, unsurprisingly, painted with Hans Hoffman. She was an assistant to Diego Rivera as well. She passed away in 1988 and has been the subject of two retrospectives at the Whitney and a traveling exhibition as well.

    Galleries, shows and more on ART. Part of the aim of this is to "demystify" art. You are allowed to enjoy art even if you weren't an art major in college.
