The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston presents Mark Flood: Gratest Hits. On view April 30 – August 7, 2016. Opening Reception – Friday, April 29, 6:30-9PM.

Gratest Hits is a survey of 30 years of Mark Flood’s work from the 1980s to 2015.

Never has an exhibition enjoyed so many moments of extreme visual beauty, cheek by jowl with crude humor and aggressive, roughly rendered texts to create a visual roller coaster ride.

For most of his artistic career, Flood has created collages, paintings, and sculptures, and altered found ephemera that serve to critique and highlight consumer culture and the perversity of the art world.

Gratest Hits presents the deep wisdom and humor of three decades of work while ultimately revealing the true achievement of an artist who has produced many highly praised works and had an active career despite remaining barely visible at the museum level.

The February board meeting of the Montrose Management District has been scheduled for February 29, 2024.
