His one-person exhibitions have included Space Gallery in Los Angeles and Dome Gallery in New York City. His art is included in the collections of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, the Chrysler Museum of Art, the Laguna Museum of Art, the Portland Art Museum, Michael Douglas, Jack Nicholson, and others. Gerard Haggerty currently teaches at Brooklyn College, CUNY, and the Chautauqua Institution.


Although they are drawn from life, his luminous works illuminate the artist’s concern with mood and myth. As Suzanne Muchnic observed in ARTWEEK, “Haggerty’s nude model seems to daydream or harbor two states of wakeful sleep. Things seen are blended with things thought. This blending of the physical with the intellectual and the personal with the universal determines the communicative power of the art… Haggerty is a highly literate artist who draws the history of his own time as he sees it. He tempers ordinary sights with personal vision, anxious wit and a general humanistic awareness in order to pull universal truths from particular occasions.”
