CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE
Contact: Lindsay Phillips
Phone (31�) 930-1410
CME Group partnered with Chicago Art Source to develop a custom and comprehensive Corpo-
rate Art Program for their global headquarters in Chicago. As a part of their 28-floor renova-
tion, CME Group introduced vibrant images of global cities, products, trading and technology for
their public corridor walls. Photographs were displayed behind large-scale, Plexiglas panels and
suspended by stainless steel pegs. These materials beautifully match the contemporary energy in
the interior architecture and successfully represent the innovative CMEG brand.
In addition to the artwork for the public corridors, Chicago Art Source designed and developed
a web-based art catalog for CME Group employees to select and order artwork for their pri-
vate offices. The diverse, yet curated selection of images appealed to the various interests of
the CME Group employees while offering artwork options that were consistent with the brand’s
aesthetic.

NORTHERN TRUST BANK
Contact: Henry Kurek
Phone: (31�) 444-7164
Northern Trust is a Chicago-based bank that expanded by building out a downtown location.
Northern Trust’s goal was to adorn its walls with local photography of natural and historical Chi-
cago imagery. Given a budget of $�00k, Chicago Art Source worked within an existing data-
base of images to create custom works for the space. The photographs were beautifully framed
and mounted to Plexiglas using brass stand-off pegs for hanging. The end result infused a touch
of the outdoors and complimented their modern, new downtown space.

FRAMES
The frames pictured are a “cap” frame or standard gallery frame profile. The wood tones vary
from light to dark. It is our recommendation to keep the profile of the frame the same on all or
most of the artworks selected, but adjust the wood tone to best suit the artwork. These frames
may be used on the reproductions as well as the editioned prints.
