Installation view, Sandow Birk: An Illustrated History of the Present, Catharine Clark Gallery, San Francisco, 2026
*Sandow Birk: An Illustrated History of the Present* surveys 35 years of work across painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics and film. Key series such as *Prisonation*, *In Smog and Thunder* and *American Qur’an* appear, often paired with new or reimagined works that answer the originals. The oldest pieces, two 1992 graffiti paintings made with street artist REALM, have been revisited with political updates.
