Established in 1991, Catharine Clark Gallery exhibits contemporary art in all disciplines. In response to each exhibition, the gallery curates changing presentations of video and other time-based genres within a dedicated media room. Catharine Clark Gallery serves as the primary dealer for an acclaimed roster of international artists, including Stephanie Syjuco, Marie Watt, Nina Katchadourian, Jen Bervin, Lenka Clayton, Arleene Correa Valencia, Sandow Birk, and Masami Teraoka. The gallery also co-publishes and distributes original multiples with Mullowney Printing, including projects by Alison Saar, Marie Watt, Masami Teraoka, and Sandow Birk. Catharine Clark Gallery is a member of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA). The gallery’s program has garnered critical attention from the New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, i-D/Vice, SF Chronicle, Hyperallergic, and Vogue, among other publications. Works by gallery artists are held in the permanent collections of dozens of major international institutions including the Tate, Whitney Museum of American Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, J. Paul Getty Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Hammer, San Jose Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Walker Art Center, Portland Art Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Blanton Museum of Art, among many others. In 2016, Catharine Clark founded BOXBLUR, an initiative to bring visual and performing art into dialogue within the gallery. Artist and performer collaborators include Rufus Wainwright, Catherine Galasso, Benjamin Freemantle, and Angelo Greco, Adji Cissoko, Michael Montgomery, Emma Lanier, Cauveri Suresh, Margaret Jenkins Dance Company, Monique Jenkinson/Fauxnique, Indira Allegra, Kambui Olujimi, Jen Bervin, and Shimon Attie, among many others. BOXBLUR is a fiscally sponsored project of Dance Film SF. In 2023, Catharine Clark Gallery doubled its space and established EXiT, a jewel-box art boutique and bookstore that reimagines the museum or gallery gift shop as a space to lounge, explore, and engage. Its unique inventory features artist multiples, books, homewares, gifts, jewelry, and unique objects sourced from community partners such as Arion Press, Crow’s Shadow, Open Editions, Radius Books, and local creatives. Located within San Francisco’s arts district, Catharine Clark Gallery is situated in proximity to leading venues such as California College of the Arts (CCA), the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, Center for the Book, the Museum of Craft and Design, Minnesota Street Project, and several contemporary art galleries.
