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.
