Nathaniel was such a singular presence here in Chicago. His critical voice and presence, along with his unwavering support and love of the arts will surely be missed. I always looked forward to my conversations with him.
I am so sad. Nathaniel was such a special and intelligent art critic and person. He really understood contemporary art and was encouraging to many artist. He really made me feel that my art and art in general matters. I am very grateful to Nathaniel McLin.
