The Chadwicks are an ancient family of dandies, sea captains, art critics, and amateur historians whose extensive art collections have been a matter of speculation among connoisseurs for several centuries. Recently, in the face of economic pressures, the Chadwicks have hired sculptor and art restorer J. Blachly and literary historian Lytle Shaw to initiate and oversee public exhibitions. These have occurred at museums and galleries including PS1/MoMA, and the Tate Modern. Winkleman Gallery in New York represents the family collection is now represented. The Chadwicks have  published the etching series Foreground Floor Debris, a travel memoir called Pre-Chewed Tapas, and other print publications. Furling the Spanker: Masterworks from the Chadwicks' Nautical Collections will open at Winkelman Gallery in May of 2011.
