Packer Schopf Gallery - Chicago - U.S.A.

.
Aron Packer started collecting folk art by osmosis, his parents owned an antique quilt gallery called The Wild Goose Chase. He was always more interested in the odder material-- hand carved canes, original tattoo drawings, sideshow banners, African American quilts, etc. -- that in turn led to being a dealer in American folk art. After years of selling folk art at antique shows, Packer decided he would curate shows in his own apartment. Through his travels he sought out unknown folk and/or outsider artists that had more interesting talent than many of the typical names. After creating a small network of collectors interested in his vision, he began to include contemporary artists. These shows ran four times a year. In 1992 he found a permanent space on the second floor of the Flat Iron building in Wicker Park. This coincided with the first exciting years of Around the Coyote, and the alternative gallery scene that included Beret International, Ten in One, and Space Gallery. Over the years the Wicker Park neighborhood had shifted. It was time to make a change so temporary shows were next over a two-year period. In late 1999 he joined forces with a River North gallery bringing many of his artists and his vision with him. This lasted eighteen months. Deciding to take the great leap forward yet again, in September 2001 Packer took hold on the second floor of the 118 N. Peoria gallery building which also housed FlatFile, Rhona Hoffman, Peter Miller, and Walsh galleries. And now as mentioned, in his largest space to date, two levels with over 3000 sq ft, we continue with Packer Schopf Gallery at 942 West Lake Street on Chicago.

McCornick Gallery - Chicago - U.S.A.

.
I love beautiful things and am really a collector at heart, coming to this business more by accident than design. Forty years ago as a printmaking major at the University of Kansas I fell under the spell of antiques collecting — quilts, furniture, folkart, ceramics, prints, paintings, Navajo rugs and oriental carpets — I loved it all and wanted it all. The trouble was I had no money, although $10 went pretty far at the Lawrence Salvation Army store. However, in that wonderful, pre-internet, pre-Antiques Roadshow era — before everyone was an instant know-it-all — an enthusiastic and hard working person with a bit of expertise, a hundred bucks and a functioning pickup truck could find some pretty nice stuff.

Young, single and footloose, I eventually became a working picker. Wary of the restraints on my freedom that a "store" would necessitate, I was happy to play my small maverick role in the food chain of marketable popular culture. A quick profit of $50 was gladly accepted as I explored attics, barns, antiques stores and estate sales from Santa Fe to my hometown of Kansas City. One day a $75 oil painting, supposedly unsigned and undated, yielded up a quick $800 profit after the signature and date were discovered by simply removing if from the frame. Ummm, I can do this!... and I began concentrating on paintings. Paintings afforded both a boost to my bottom line and an enhancement of my professional standing. I was no longer an antique picker, I was a painting dealer! Plus they were so much more portable than a 500 pound walnut cupboard.

Through hard work, perseverance, and the advent of the Art Fair phenomenon I eventually gained a following and a reputation — a good one I hope — but still not a store. I also acquired a wife, a family and a residence in Chicago, very un-Tom things to do. When I turned 50 my wife Janis (so much smarter than I'll ever be) told me to get a gallery or stop talking about it. And so, in May of 2000 the gallery whose website you have stumbled upon was born in the West Loop neighborhood. What we in Chicago like to think of as our Chelsea (sort of).

As you'll find, we specialize in mid-century American abstract painting and represent a number of wonderful post-War artists. We also represent a small cadre of outstanding contemporary painters and sculptors, many based here in Chicago. So, click away and explore our website. However, I can promise there is not a single walnut cupboard to be found.

Gallery Provocateur - Chicago - U.S.A.

.
Gallery Provocateur is a not for profit gallery dedicated to promoting the arts and giving back to the art community with a low commission rate and nominal fees.

As of November 2012, the gallery recently moved down the street from its location in the Congress Theatre building to a beautiful renovated Art Deco 1920's ballroom complete with its original tin ceiling and crown moldings.

The gallery's mission is to offer opportunities for artists and art enthusiasts, bring art to the masses, promote self-expression and break the negative stereotypes that are so often associated with the arts and figurative work. 
Gallery Provocateur exhibits a genre of work influenced by illustration, fantasy, subculture, comic books, pop culture imagery and the feminine mystique. We represent a mix of emerging and career artists with an emphasis on cultivating new talent and creating an environment where artists can further develop their work. We are a not for profit gallery due to our dissatisfaction with conventional galleries charging high percentages of their artists work, while offering the same in an uninviting, stark environment. Gallery works exhibited are primarily figurative with a strong composition.

The unconventional approach has helped shape our gallery's commitment to offering our space as one that encourages exploration and offering art forms which are massively underappreciated.

Gallery Provocateur remains focused on maintaining its mission of community, and commitment to providing our artists with a nurturing arena for experimentation and growth.
