I pass this place all the time, but have only gone in once. I like art in my place, but there is no way that I can afford what these people are selling. I feel that you can get the same feeling art from independent artists in the area from coffee shops and such. There is nice art here, it just cost to much for me.

This is a more contemporary gallery than anything else. This place might be a little too much, but I guess you can't put a price on art. I have gone shopping here with other peoples money, and the staff is very nice and knowledgeable about the artists and their paintings. This place is good for what else I saw locally.

Atlas Galleries on the magnificent mile has a peaceful, serene touch. They have been in business for several years and have establised themselves as purveryors of fine arts, paintings, sculptures, etc. The set up inside is amazing and the displays are set in a thought-provoking manner. I am not an expert on art, but I have visited galleries and taken some museum tours that have been informative. This gallery, although their intent is to sell artwork, is more of a museum like atmosphere. They have the backgrounds of artists and what the message each piece is trying to convey. They try to make you in tune with what the artist was thinking when he made a sculpture or a painting. You can always find collectors and art enthusiasts as well as tourists sifting through the large collections. It is a bit expensive and I am sure if you are going to shell out the money, you would have to know a lot about what you are buying. It isn't for those looking to hang a painting in the family room as a decoration.
