Tim Klein’s Chicago Photography Licensed by DeGroot Fine Art
DeGroot Fine Art, a Chicago-based art consultancy, approached Tim Klein as a creative resource to license photography from his extensive image archive for a series of client projects. Working closely with DeGroot’s team, Tim provided high-resolution digital files, allowing them to produce and frame the artwork to suit each unique space and installation.
The imagery spans a broad visual range of Chicago’s architectural and cultural landmarks—from peaceful early morning views of North Avenue Beach to bold perspectives of Navy Pier and the historic Wrigley Building. Known for his background in photojournalism, Tim captures not just place, but atmosphere—offering viewers an emotional and immersive look at the city’s layers and energy.
Each license was tailored to a specific project, with image selection and sizing aligned to the needs of the client. DeGroot Fine Art managed all aspects of production, including material selection, print finishes, and framing, ensuring the final presentation aligned with their client’s vision and space.
This collaboration allowed DeGroot to deliver distinctive, meaningful art programs while working with a local artist deeply connected to the city’s visual character. For Tim, the partnership offered a way to extend the reach of his work into corporate spaces across the region, without overseeing production.
Together, the projects reflect a shared commitment to thoughtful curation, quality execution, and a strong sense of place—bringing Chicago’s architecture and atmosphere into the everyday environments where people work, gather, and live.
