And now for a little Le plus ca change le plus ca le meme chose (the more things change the more the stay the same):

"Underground art activity centered around provisional schools and galleries operated by artists. In the late forties the sculptor Ray Fink and the painter John Karney opened the Avant Art Gallery; Leon Golub, whose painting style has come to stand for Chicago art, had his first solo show there in 1950. The following year Karney and Fink were joined by Golub and the sculptor Cosmo Campoli in opening a school called Contemporary Art in a downtown garage loft. Group activity of this kind fostered consolidation among artists along more precise ideological lines than had been the case in the late forties. Much of the interaction was generated by informal meetings in Chicago's equivalents to the New York artists' Cedar Bar: Ricardo's Restaurant, Stuart Brent's '7 Stairs Bookstore,' Werner's Bookstore."

From American Sculpture in Process: 1930/1970 by Wayne Anderson. Boston: New York Graphic Society, 1975
