Zolla/Lieberman Gallery was established in 1976 by Roberta Lieberman and Robert Zolla within a then-desolate industrial neighborhood now known as the River North Gallery District. They transformed a vacant industrial space into a hub for contemporary art, laying the foundation for the thriving art community that the area is today.
Now located at 325 W Huron St, William Lieberman continues to uphold the legacy of quality and professionalism established since the gallery’s founding. Z/L represents a diverse range of artists and genres that offer a dynamic view of contemporary art in Chicago. They are dedicated to providing personal attention to both beginning and established collectors, as well as other art professionals.

Lora Fosberg is an American artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, printmaking, drawing, and sculpture. She received her BFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1992.
Lora Fosberg’s work speaks to the power of form, the capacity of iconography to create a universal language that communicates the banalities and complexities of the human experience. Fosberg’s process is deeply anthropological, bound up in the intricacies and intimacies of human life—memories, emotions, our relationships with others and with nature. Disarming her viewers through familiar imagery and language in her work, often rendered in an accessible, animated manner, with a touch of cheeky humor, Fosberg affords them the space to regress to a particular memory, a moment of understanding, a conflict, an absence, a connection to another person, or to nature.
Her work has been featured in venues across the Midwest and West Coast including the South Bend Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the Hyde Park Art Center and international venues in Copenhagen and London.
Fosberg’s work is represented in the permanent collections of the Illinois State Museum, Eaton Corporation, and Kirkland & Ellis, as well as numerous private collections. She lives and works in Michigan City, Indiana.
