CHICAGO’S MOST RENOWNED NATURAL HISTORY ART GALLERY MAKES A LANDMARK MOVE.

- BY J.P. ANDERSON

After 20 years in the landmark Wrigley Building, renowned natural history art gallery Joel Oppenheime­r, Inc. has moved to another historic location, the gorgeously restored annex of the Chicago landmark Tree Studios building in River North, one of the nation’s oldest surviving artists’ studios. Says Oppenheime­r, “The space is warm, welcoming, and fits our genre of artwork in a unique way. It is an historic landmark site, and we are all about history.” Covering more than 3,200 square feet on three floors, the new space serves as a showcase for Oppenheime­r’s extensive collection of artworks depicting the natural world by worldfamou­s artists such as John James Audubon, Pierre-joseph Redouté, and Basilius Besler. Museum-quality framing and art conservati­on services, too.
