Six pieces have been acquired through EXPO CHICAGO, the organization behind the annual art fair. They include two oil and acrylics on canvas by Andrew Holmquist, an oil and acrylic by Judy Ledgerwood, and an oil on canvas by Claire Sherman. The works are displayed at the Vista Sales Gallery near the construction site on East Wacker Drive. “Art…invites conversation and makes an already interesting space look that much more polished,” says Robin Tebbe, Chief Marketing Officer of Magellan Development Group, which along with Dalian Wanda Group is building the 95-story hotel and condo in the New East Side neighborhood. “We’re constantly looking for innovative ways to engage potential purchasers during construction, and this new art collection provides the perfect opportunity to further showcase the Vista lifestyle.”
