Art in Chicago business

Fairweather Hardin Gallery · 1900 · Chicago : Fairweather Hardin Gallery · 25 pictures

A Fairweather Hardin Gallery survey of corporate art collecting in Chicago, issued for businessmen and collectors and illustrated with photographs of executives beside the paintings they bought, apparently in the 1960s. The halftones pair dark suits and office furniture with abstract canvases, giving designers mid-century interiors, framed abstraction as backdrop, and formal seated and standing portrait poses.
