Jan Cicero Gallery was a contemporary art gallery founded and directed by Jan Cicero (née Pickett), which operated from 1974 to 2003, with locations in Evanston and Chicago, Illinois and Telluride, Colorado.[1] The gallery was noted for its early, exclusive focus on Chicago abstract artists at a time when they were largely neglected,[1][2][3][4] its role in introducing Native American artists to mainstream art venues beyond the Southwest,[5][6][7][8] and its showcasing of late-career and young women artists.[9][10][11][12][13] The gallery focused on painting, and to a lesser degree, works on paper, often running counter to the city's prevailing art currents (e.g., Imagist figuration in the 1970s and Conceptual art in the 1980s and 1990s).[1][14] It was also notable as a pioneer of two burgeoning Chicago gallery districts, the West Hubbard Street alternative corridor of the 1970s, and the River North district in the 1980s.[15][16]
Jan Cicero Gallery represented notable artists including: abstractionists Carol Diehl,[17] Laurie Fendrich,[18] Virginio Ferrari,[19] Budd Hopkins, Vera Klement,[20] Susan Michod,[21] and Corey Postiglione;[22] Native Americans Edgar Heap of Birds,[23] Truman Lowe,[24] Jaune Quick-to-See Smith,[25] and Emmi Whitehorse;[26] early Chicago Imagists George Cohen[27] Theodore Halkin[28] and Evelyn Statsinger;[29] representational painters Arthur Lerner[30] and James Cook;[31] and artist/critics Keith Morrison[32] and Peter Plagens.[33] The gallery was frequently featured in national and regional art coverage in Artforum,[34][18][35] Art in America[36][37] ARTnews,[9][38] Arts Magazine[39] New Art Examiner,[40][25][41] and Chicago's major newspapers,[42][30][43][44] as well as in articles about the art market in Art+Auction,[45] Crain's Chicago Business[46] and the Chicago Tribune.[47][48]
