Hi dear Insta friends and followers. My personal account @clarkcatharine was hacked. As of yesterday, postings or stories you see to that account are not mine. I am working to figure out how to resolve the issue. In the meantime, please avoid any content posted there or Insta chats as they are not from me. Thanks to those who alerted me to the issue. Oh, and this photo? It’s from the BAMPFA gala, which was loads of fun. I’m pictured here with @mehdibouarek and @juliewidholm https://www.instagram.com/p/CdqgVYML7_z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“This Present Moment,” curated by Nora Atkinson, Mary Savig, and Anya Montiel at The Smithsonian Renwick is an incredible grouping of works by more than 100 artists, accompanied by a gorgeous catalogue. Congratulations to everyone involved. A huge shout out to Pamela and David Hornik, who contributed their work by Wanxin Zhang to the museum. Thank you! There have been so many other highlights too—seeing Alison Saar, meeting Sonya Clark, and witnessing her formidable and incredibly poignant “flag” titled “Monumental,” and taking in the glow of Alicia Eggert’s neon text. More photos to come. @smithsonian @renwickgallery #thispresentmoment #artinournationscapitol @wxzhang25 @sysclark @aplaceintheuniverse @pamelahornik @davidhornik @alison_saar @noraeatkinson @anyamontiell @marysavig (at Renwick Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdgwhhmFMuU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If your travels bring you to Fresno, don’t miss Chester Arnold’s retrospective—“Reports to the Contrary”—at the Fresno Art Museum (catalogue forthcoming). The exhibition, organized under the direction of Michele Ellis Pracy, is a survey of five decades of Chester’s powerful and at times darkly humorous paintings (and a few sculptures too). The exhibit is flanked by exhibits of Diego Rivera ‘s work and Andy Warhol’s print portfolios. Thanks to a program to support museums funded by Bank of America, entrance to the museum is free. Congratulations to @chester_arnold_painter and many thanks to @fresnoartmuseum for organizing and hosting the show. A huge thanks to the institutions and the collectors who generously loaned work to the exhibit, and to Aileen Mangan (registrar @cclarkgallery) for helping to facilitate the loans, making this exhibit possible. Special thanks to #beverlyandpeterlipman #lipmanfamilyfoundation #lornameyercalasanddenniscalas #dirosaart #irvingzaretsky #melissaandlarrykurtz @bankofamerica #bankofamericaartcollection @warholfoundation @diegorivera_art (at Fresno Art Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbqFlKSPP0f/?utm_medium=tumblr

Feeling grateful to @wxzhang25 and @dianedingart for guiding my parents through Wanxin’s exhibit titled “Witness” @cclarkgallery My Mom and Dad used to be a regular presence at my exhibits, but their disabilities have made monthly attendance more challenging. This was a special day for all of us. And yes, that is my Dad touching the ceramic butt protruding from the ceramic jade-colored tea pot without a handle! Thanks to #liliyarittari and #aileenmangan for the photos. (at Catharine Clark Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbT-iZXO_Ds/?utm_medium=tumblr
