  1. Cathy Marie Buchanan on 'The Painted Girls'

    In “The Painted Girls,” a carefully researched, deeply imagined historical novel by Canadian writer Cathy Marie Buchanan, the Belle Époque comes to vibrant, often aching life. It follows two real-life destitute sisters, Marie and Antoinette van Goethem, who are forced to turn to the then-none-too-reputable ballet training program at the Paris Opera to scratch out a meager living in the 1870s and '80s. Antoinette, older and prettier but less artistically gifted, becomes involved with a rough-hewn teenager destined for a life of crime.

  6. Luxury buyers find options at Millennium

    Luxury real estate in downtown Chicago came roaring back in 2012, experiencing its best year since 2008. According to a recent report, sales of million-dollar homes rose by 15 percent last year, and while the rebound has been welcome news to sellers, it has also driven luxury supply to its lowest level since before the housing downturn, frustrating many high-end buyers.

  9. Museums offer holiday gift options

    We all know that the holidays are commercialized. For those looking for an alternative to the mass pandemonium of the malls, gift shops at Chicago museums offer presents with local interest as well as artistic and educational panache.

  10. Visual arts: Year's exhibitions were both ambitious and unpredictable

    The year 2012 brought exhibitions that were ambitious, unpredictable and sometimes downright messy &mdash; but when it comes to art, these are all good things. What's more, all that disheveled enthusiasm wasn't solely confined to the alternative spaces and apartment galleries &mdash; Chicago's museums got a little down and dirty too. This was a banner year for sprawling group shows based around participatory themes and methods. Our list of highlights, in no particular order:

  12. How theater ticket prices are changing like airline fares

    When the Goodman Theatre announced its prices for its current production, &quot;Sweet Bird of Youth," starring Diane Lane, it listed $89 as the top ticket price for that show, a price that duly appeared in this newspaper. And had you bought your decent main-floor seat for the Oct. 27 performance three weeks ago, $89 is indeed what you likely would have paid. On Wednesday afternoon, there still were tickets available on the Goodman website for that Saturday evening performance. But the top price? $120.
