  2. Fleming, Graham charm Lyric audience with rare duo recital

    Lyric Opera patrons attending the duo recital by soprano Renee Fleming and mezzo-soprano Susan Graham Thursday night at the Civic Opera House probably did not expect they would be getting a guided tour of <em>belle epoque</em> Paris along with an exquisitely performed program of French songs.

  4. Luxury buyers find options at Millennium

    Luxury real estate in downtown Chicago came roaring back in 2012, experiencing its best year since 2008. According to a recent report, sales of million-dollar homes rose by 15 percent last year, and while the rebound has been welcome news to sellers, it has also driven luxury supply to its lowest level since before the housing downturn, frustrating many high-end buyers.

  5. Review: Charles Reiffel retrospective is an eye-opener

    SAN DIEGO — In the history of American art, Charles Reiffel is probably the best early Modernist painter you've never heard of. Celebrated in his own day for Expressionist landscapes of remarkable verve and complexity, he quickly fell off the...

  6. Our town was Wilder's town too

    New biography sheds light on Thornton Wilder, the influence of his childhood and his love of Chicago
    Chicago makes a claim on many writers — Nelson Algren, David Mamet, Ernest Hemingway, Carl Sandburg — even if those scribes spent only a portion of their lives within its sweet confines. But Thornton Wilder, the author of such iconic plays...

  7. Museums offer holiday gift options

    We all know that the holidays are commercialized. For those looking for an alternative to the mass pandemonium of the malls, gift shops at Chicago museums offer presents with local interest as well as artistic and educational panache. And in many cases, shopping the museums not only helps support these cultural institutions, it provides income to artisans and designers around the globe.

    The year 2012 brought exhibitions that were ambitious, unpredictable and sometimes downright messy &mdash; but when it comes to art, these are all good things. What's more, all that disheveled enthusiasm wasn't solely confined to the alternative spaces and apartment galleries &mdash; Chicago's museums got a little down and dirty too. This was a banner year for sprawling group shows based around participatory themes and methods. Our list of highlights, in no particular order:

  9. How theater ticket prices are changing like airline fares

    When the Goodman Theatre announced its prices for its current production, "Sweet Bird of Youth," starring Diane Lane, it listed $89 as the top ticket price for that show, a price that duly appeared in this newspaper. And had you bought your decent main-floor seat for the Oct. 27 performance three weeks ago, $89 is indeed what you likely would have paid. On Wednesday afternoon, there still were tickets available on the Goodman website for that Saturday evening performance. But the top price? $120.

  12. A focus as big as all outdoors

    David Plowden's second-floor office in his Winnetka home is not the sanctuary that was his now-shuttered basement darkroom. It is more prone to distractions, but that is just one of the allowances that the celebrated 80-year-old photographer has made to age, health and advancing technology.
