Bartlow Gallery, Chicago

Director Peter Bartlow has been an art dealer since 1972, when he launched his first gallery in Columbus, Ohio. He closed the Columbus shop to open this Chicago gallery. A past exhibit displayed the oils, watercolors and drawings of Colombian artist Willy Ramos. Featuring flowers alongside cityscapes, the exhibit contrasted a colorful flair and a moody, hard edge. Ramos's Adler Planetarium a pencil-on-paper drawing is another notable work. The drawing, bursting with thick lines and structural elements, is a deeply Impressionistic, joyful reflection of a Chicago landmark. Prints are available for purchase, including a 1947 Picasso lithograph and a Miro aquatint.
