Day One of Art Chicago 2007 - Cindy Wright

Pleasantly surprised to see a LOT of great work at the various galleries. Also great to see a lot of old friends and dealers who have been at the Fair for years and years. There's a real excitement and an appreciation of just how much the Mart guys have done to pull this off and present a very impressive show.

I have been waiting almost a year for a great Cindy Wright piece that wasn't one of her food studies. Mark Moore who is a real businessman finally found me one that I think is extraordinary. It's called "Sweet Dreams" and it's another very large piece (about 70" square) which will require some heavy-duty swapping of work at the loft. But it's so strong that I really couldn't pass it up.
