Under New Ownership, EXPO Chicago 2024 Maintains Its Midwestern Charm |
Apr 12, 2024
It might be in its 11th edition, but EXPO Chicago is embarking on a new chapter. This year’s fair—the largest in the U.S. Midwest—is the first since Frieze announced last summer that it’d be acquiring EXPO, along with The Armory Show in New York. How the new ownership would influence EXPO was a hot topic among art world whisperers heading into the fair, and on its VIP day Thursday, Tony Karman, the fair’s president, was in an enthusiastic mood. EXPO’s legacy of community involvement will continue, if not get stronger, he said, as Frieze helps elevate Chicago’s presence on the international stage.
