Day 5

It is hot! 80 degrees! I went to breakfast with a friend. Upon learning that the Bodyworlds exhibit was sold out, we decided to go see Art Chicago. It's a gigantic art fair with booths representing galleries and artists from all over the world. It took up two floors of a big building downtown and adjoining art fairs next door. There was everything from cutting edge contemporary work to older work from artists like Egon Schiele, Rauschenberg, Jim Dine... Noted exhibits included Joel Peter Witkin, Barry McGee, and David Hockney. I took lots of business cards from galleries that might like my work. I then went to dinner with my friend from Seattle, and met up with some more people at a little bar. A really great old timey band started up and people started dancing. We all had a great time and got home late.

The only picture I took of the fair, and the only time the crowds parted. Rows and rows of booths. Mr Barry McGee
