 Paris Roof Top #4 Michael Wolf, Paris Abstract, runs July 10 to August 30, 2014 at Robert Koch Gallery (49 Geary Street, San Francisco). There will be a reception with the artist 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, July 10.
Wolf, a photographer, lives part time in Paris and explores the urban landscape via the density of the city. The artist was concerned about working in Paris, fearful his work might seem cliche--but he obviously worked through that. He uses well known locales but focuses on the rooftops, what most of us never see. Wolf was born in Munich and raised in both the USA and Germany. He attended Univeristy of California at Berkeley and then University of Essen. His work has been extenisvely exhibited in the USA and Germany. The exhibit will also include vintage images of Paris.

The Chicago Artist's Coalition, in its 40th year, is bringing back their art fair in the West Loop. The fair focuses on art by emerging artists available at moderate prices. The dates coincide with Expo Chicago (held at Navy Pier).
Edition Chicago features cutting edge galleries and non-profits from all over the USA. This concentration of art fairs in Chicago is great news. It helps make Chicago more of an art travel destination. So often there fairs feel as if they are competing against one another rather than taking the more constructive attitude of "a rising tide raises all boats." Bravo Chicago Artist's Coalition and Expo Chicago. The fair was founded by the Coalition and Andre Rafacz.
