I have now heard Chris deliver this speech about the importance of contemporary art to the City of Chicago and the Mart's heroic efforts to save and rebuild the Art Chicago franchise and I think it's one of the most compelling presentations I have ever heard. I decided to add it to the blog in order to share it with lots of folks who haven't had a chance to see it. I don't think Chris will mind.
Here's the link. It's a long speech but it's worth the time to watch it. You can also click on the title to this post and it will take you there.
