Richard Gray Gallery Chicago

Founded in Chicago in 1963 and now located both in Chicago and New York, Richard Gray Gallery is one of the leading dealers in modern and contemporary American and European art, with museum as well as private clients worldwide. Offering artworks of exceedingly high quality as well as expert counsel in all areas of the field is almost an obsession. The gallery has a reputation for excellence, integrity and discretion that it continues to earn by providing a high level of service to understandably demanding clients. Collecting art remains a field where the myriad players share a deep appreciation for the profound role that art plays in our culture. This is paramount. The business of art, while founded upon the same principle, is more and more coming to resemble a truly 'big' business with the breathtaking values placed on fine art. While most galleries focus primarily upon artist representation and promotion, Richard Gray Gallery is collector oriented. This means the gallery will assess quality and authenticity, evaluate, exhibit, care for, buy and sell art principally for the benefit of the collector. We believe this is a highly meaningful distinction. Member of the Art Dealer's Association of America and Confederacion International des Negociants en Art. Richard Gray Gallery also exhibits at Art: Basel, Art: Basel/Miami, TEFAF Maastricht and The Art Show/New York.

Andrew Fabricant

We as a gallery are moving forward into the twenty-first century by continuing to bring first rate works of art by renowned artists into our gallery and onto the walls of our clients. My years in the arts have allowed me to advise some very astute and discerning collectors and it is a responsibility that I take very seriously. - Andrew Fabricant

Paul Gray

I am also a collector myself and therefore have a keen appreciation for the thrill of connecting with a work of art. It is a passion for art combined with a sense of duty to collectors who seek our counsel, which drives me to identify and assemble exciting works to share with our clients. - Paul Gray

Many apprehensions about collecting expensive works of art arise from questions of authenticity. Richard Gray Gallery is able to stand behind the works of art that we handle through extensive research and knowledge of our artists and their artwork, acquired from our 45 years in the field. This is research and knowledge that we are happy to share with our clients.

Richard Gray first opened the Chicago gallery in the fall of 1963, on Ontario Street. There were few galleries in Chicago in the 1960’s, but he was determined to turn his passion for collecting into a career working with the things that gave him so much personal pleasure. Richard Gray Gallery joined in establishing a trend that would eventually result in an active and diverse gallery scene in Chicago. In the earlier years the gallery included print and antiquities departments along with a focus on younger artists, but ultimately the gallery has become best known for its concentration and excellence in the area of Modern and Contemporary Masters. Richard Gray has developed a reputation as a well-respected authority, known internationally for his knowledge, expertise and integrity. (more)
