So I've just returned from Chicago--my first (gasp!) trip there ever--where I saw some amazing art. So for all you Chicagoans or anyone planning to visit this summer, I highly recommend:
the Gerhard Richter show at the Art Institute (http://www.artic.edu/aic/exhibitions/gerhardrichter.html)--it just took my breath away
and the Andreas Gursky show at MOCA (http://www.mcachicago.org/)
Now I understand why everyone loves Chicago. As a recovering New Yorker myself, I expected it to be (don't yell at me for this) kind of like New York only not as good, but it is a completely different kind of city. Different vibe, different people...I totally loved it.
