The Hara Museum is pleased to announce that it will hold the exhibition
Vincent Gallo Retrospective 1977-2002. In 1999, Gallos movie Buffalo 66
catapulted him to fame in Japan. Since then, Gallos keen sensitivity, sublime
expression, and uncompromising dedication to his private aesthetic
have captured the imagination of a great many youths for whom he has
become a charismatic figure.
As the artists first
major retrospective, this exhibition features some 120
artworks,
carefully selected from the 500 or so paintings, drawings,
and photographs
that he produced between 1977 and 2002.
As the
title indicates, this exhibition spans the artists entire
career
as a painter, from his early works made before the start of
his career
in New York to his most recent works. Together,
they
provide an excellent overview of Gallos maturation as an
artist and
the development of his rare eye for beauty through 20
years of
continuous self-confrontation.
