Kicking Abstract & Taking Names, curated by Conn Ryder, is an exhibit that showcases the work of a hand-picked group of female painters from the U.S. and abroad who actively honor and advance the abstract movement still popular in the contemporary art market. These women have forged ahead in a competitive environment through the strength of their paintings, which give voice to the individual interpretations of their uniquely feminine experiences, explorations, and perceptions.

With echoes and whispers and glorious hauntings of Hilma af Klint, Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, and Elaine de Kooning, Kicking Abstract & Taking Names gathers thirteen contemporary artists, and rather than curatorially or individually playing it safe, the exhibit revels in the understanding that there is power in numbers. Included in the show are Johanne Brouillette, Margaret Fitzgerald, Sarah Grant, Dana James, Anita Jung, Trixie Pitts, Ellen Rolli, Conn Ryder, Karen Scharer, Julie Schumer, Daniela Schweinsberg, Alayne Spafford, and Pamela Staker.

The Golden Triangle
330 N. Clark St.
Chicago, IL 60654

It's time again to root for the home team. While we still love exotic foreign antiques, we confess to liking locally-made new things more and more (and the people who make them).

As antique dealers, we've learned to appreciate fine design, materials and workmanship wherever they are found. The antiques of the past should inspire us -or prod us-to make the antiques of the future. In that spirit, we will seek out and support local artists and furniture makers of high taste and ability and show their works alongside the best of the past.

This Year's Artists:

Jacob Wener of Modern Industry will showcase a much-expanded collection of metal and hardwood furniture made exclusively for The Golden Triangle. We like to call it "locally grown furniture" because the steel comes from Indiana and the wood comes from Cook County.

Our in-house jewelry designer Margaret Harris returns with custom-made jewelry artworks that combine ancient and modern elements. No two pieces are alike, and every piece has a story. Laurel Feldman is a Chicago artist with a passion for beauty. Her bold photos of flowers are reproduced on a large scale using the latest digital technology. Pamela Staker is a celebrated Chicago painter with a gift for blending abstraction, representation and hauntingly beautiful color into memorable artworks.

As a bonus, our new neighbors, The 3D Printer Experience, will demonstrate their revolutionary technology by scanning items in the store and reproducing them that same evening. People are calling it "the future of American manufacturing". Don't miss it!
