Chicago Magazine, The City's New Art Hub by Jason Foumberg:

"After six years in West Town, the Latin American-focused gallery has become a cornerstone of the community, dedicating shows to both local and international talent, like Argentine sculptor Gustavo Díaz and Peruvian painter Michelle Prazak. Abstract painter Peter Skvara curates "History is Boring," a group show opening January 13 that includes a drawing by artist Deb Sokolow."
