JAPAN.- The Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Japan has mounted a survey of art by the notoriously abrasive but self-confident painter and filmmaker Vincent Gallo. The "Vincent Gallo Retrospective 1977-2002," July 20-Sept. 29, 2002, features some 120 paintings, drawings and photographs by the director and producer of the 1998 cult hit Buffalo 66. The show includes the artist’s paintings on manhole covers, his defaced photographs of his ex-wife Bethany and the frieze-like still lifes that he exhibited in 1985 at Annina Nosei Gallery in SoHo. Gallo’s new film, The Brown Bunny, is due to be completed by the end of the year.
