Selected Exhibition History
Compiled by John Murphy with Stacy Kammert
Cat. indicates a published record of the exhibition (catalogue, brochure, pamphlet, or checklist); cat. followed by a number indicates the catalogue number in that publication. No cat. indicates that the exhibition had no known or available published record. Titles, dates, media, catalogue numbers, and the order of artworks are reproduced as they appear in the exhibition catalogue; misspellings and incorrect attributions are reproduced to reflect what was represented in the catalogue. In the absence of a catalogue, information has been culled from other available sources such as exhibition reviews. Incomplete list means that there may have been more works exhibited than those included here. In some cases, no catalogue exists but archival correspondence has confirmed the complete list of artworks in the exhibition.
