Best Gallery: Goldfinch
Chicago’s an exceptional gallery city, but this year we’ve especially been loving the lush exhibitions at Goldfinch in East Garfield Park, from Hyun Jung Jun’s whimsical, knobby candle creations to “Night Life,” a solo show by the painter Mari Eastman that’s on view through December 18. FYI: Those looking to start an art collection on a budget should check out the gallery’s Flatfiles program, which offers a selection of works from artists like Edra Soto and Anne Harris for relatively affordable prices (usually no more than $1,500, but sometimes as low as $130).
