Group shows and print presentations
The Terry Winters Studio lists the 2026 group exhibition Cricket Music at Matthew Brown Gallery in New York, framing Winters among a tightly curated lineup of contemporary painters and sculptors. The show situates his work alongside artists such as Julie Beaufils and Michaela Eichwald.
Parallel to such group contexts, Winters appears in the summer exhibition Summer in the City at Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl in Chelsea, New York, running from May 29, 2026 to August 15, 2026. The checklist includes prints like Clocks and Clouds/2 and Clocks and Clouds/5, positioning his editions in a focused print program.
Museum attention to Winters’s works on paper
Beyond commercial galleries, institutional shows emphasize Winters’s works on paper and prints. MutualArt lists the Yale University Art Gallery exhibition Print Catalyst @ 30, which includes Winters and runs from June 27, 2026 to December 6, 2026, underscoring his relevance in academic museum contexts.
Earlier surveys such as Terry Winters: The Structure of Things at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston have focused on approximately 50 prints and drawings from 1982 to 2014, emphasizing his engagement with scientific processes and mathematical theories as a core of his imagery.
