About
Who we are
Since 1976 Corporate Art Source, Inc. has been a member of Chicago's professional art community as a gallery designed specifically to address the art needs of businesses and public sector clients both nationally and internationally. Since its founding, Corporate Art Source has serviced such diverse clients as: Winston & Strawn, American Hospital Association, The Chicago Mercantile Exchange, IBM, Sherman Hospital's multi million dollar art acquisition and the cities of Chicago and Philadelphia.
In 1997, we were called upon by the Board of Trustees, Chicago Public Schools, to manage a city-wide art inventory, appraisal and conservation project involving over 7,000 works valued at over $50 million. Our success resulted in our appointment as curator to this collection. The Art Institute of Chicago has chosen to feature works, discovered by us as a result of this project, in an exhibit in their Rice Galleries, March 23 – August 11, 2002, an unprecedented honor for us and the City of Chicago.
Subsequent to the success of this unprecedented search for artistic assets, we were retained by the School District of Philadelphia to conduct a city wide art inventory.
We were able to uncover millions and millions of lost and forgotten treasures which are now in the safe hands of the City of Philadelphia and the School District's Board of Trustees.
