Richard Gray is the dean of art dealers in Chicago. He founded his gallery in 1963, has been president of the Art Dealers Association of America and chairman of the board at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art, and operates a second gallery in New York. Specializing in paintings, sculpture, and drawings by leading artists from the major movements in 20th-century American and European art, Gray and his son, Paul, who now runs the Chicago gallery, have shown the work of such luminaries as Pablo Picasso, Jean Dubuffet, Willem de Kooning, Alexander Calder, Claes Oldenberg, Joan Miró, and Henri Matisse.
