Catharine Clark Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of its 2026 exhibition program with Masami Teraoka: From Here to Eternity, Five Decades of Art Making. This major survey exhibition, mounted in celebration of the acclaimed artist’s 90th birthday, encompasses both the North and South galleries.
Join them for an opening celebration and 90th birthday party for Masami Teraoka from 3 - 5pm.
Masami Teraoka (b. 1936) creates work that integrates reality with the surreal, humor with social commentary, and the historical with the contemporary. While sexuality is a recurring subject in his work, his representation of intimacy shifted from positive depictions of free love in the 1970s to a profound concern for the spread of HIV in the mid-1980s. This survey tracks that evolution, offering a rare opportunity to see watercolors, drawings, and multiples from Teraoka’s "AIDS Series" and "Waves Series" in conversation with projects ranging from 1974 to the present day.
