Chad Chimes In

Chad Tooker left Columbus about one year ago. He is reaching out to all his Columbus friends, letting them know that he is now in San Francisco, peddling and promoting art (what else?)-charlieFor those heading to "Art Chicago" (4/25 - 4/27, Merchandise Mart), be sure to stop by Hackett-Freedman Gallery's booth, #12-612. Specializing in 20th-century and contemporary painting and sculpture, with expertise in Postwar American and California art, we'll be featuring works by Frankenthaler, Motherwell, Avery, Hodgkin, Manuel Neri, Robert De Niro, Sr., et al.

As a relative newbie to the gallery, I won't be traveling this year. But, if you're in the market to buy, let me know and I'll see that you're taken care of. Also, look for us at Art Basel Miami Beach, ARCO (Madrid, Spain), and a New York fair TBD.

Best regards,

Chad Tooker
