For most of his artistic career, Houston-based artist Mark Flood has created collages, paintings, and sculptures, and has altered found ephemera that serve to critique exuberantly the perverse ethics of the art world. The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present Mark Flood: Gratest Hits, the first survey of his work with pieces dating from the 1980s to 2015. Gratest Hits shows the deep wisdom and humor of three decades of Flood’s work while ultimately revealing the true achievement of an artist who has produced many highly praised works and has an active career despite remaining barely visible at the museum level.

About the Exhibition

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Mark Flood received his BA from Rice University in 1981. In 2013, Luxembourg & Dayan Gallery in New York City held a survey of Flood’s work of the ’80s, bringing together more than 100 paintings and collages. Flood’s work can be found in the collections of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Menil Collection, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Birmingham Art Museum. His work is widely exhibited internationally. Mark Flood lives and works in Houston, Texas.

PUBLICATION
Mark Flood: Gratest Hits is accompanied by a significant monograph of Flood’s work.

This catalogue is made possible by a grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc.
