Going West
The center of gallery gravity seems to be shifting west, as four important gallerists pull up their West Loop stakes and head to a new home at 1709 W. Chicago Ave. in the middle of Ukrainian Village. To an area already rich in galleries—Efrain Lopez, The Mission, Paperish Mess and Matthew Rachman, to name just a few—they promise a bristling new energy. Here’s what’s in store for the big Jan. 7 opening.
