Archival digital prints on canvas of historic Wrigley Field
It all starts with an idea. And maybe a few craft beers at Merkle's. Or Vines. Or Dark Horse. As president of my condominium association, I had the task of decorating our Wrigleyville building's small lobby. Where could I get my hands on some unique art that reflects the neighborhood but wouldn't break the bank?
I had seen many beautiful, black-and-white photographs from the George Brace collection at various Chicago pubs. He was the official North Side club photographer from 1929 to 1994, producing an amazing collection of Wrigley Field imagery over those 65 years. Most of the pictures you see on this site come from that archive, which has a new owner. Rights were secured, and Remember Wrigley Field was born.
As Wrigley Field celebrates its 100th birthday in 2014, its owners have big plans. This certainly isn't the first time the ballpark has changed (as you can see from many of the images on this site), but with $500 million earmarked for development — this may signal the biggest break from the past. So, Remember Wrigley Field, the way it once was. Without bells and whistles, the way it used to be. I hope you enjoy the art.
