Klein has been a frequent panelist, appearing with Dawoud Bey, Tony Fitzpatrick, Wesley Kimler, Juan Angel Chavez, Joyce Owens, and Hamza Walker. He owned and operated Klein Art Works, a cutting edge art gallery in Chicago until 2004. Originally located in River North Gallery District, in 1981 it moved to River West in 1989 contributing to the development of that gallery area.

The Museum of Contemporary Art’s popular 12 x 12 program of presenting one Chicago artist a month is attributable to him.
