January 7, 1978, Mary Boone Gallery, 420 W. Broadway, opened with paintings by Chris Darton; Gordon Hart; Paul Mogensen; Gary Stephan; Alan Uglow.
It was also at Lorence-Monk that Uglow showed Signals, (1988), a four-panel piece, with sound, initially made to be shown as part of "Century '87," Amsterdam.
Beginning in 1992, and continuing throughout 2009, Uglow made a series of paintings, titled Standards: all are 7' x 6' (214 x 183 cm), installed on wooden blocks.
In 2013, Uglow's work was shown posthumously in New York City, in a solo exhibition, at David Zwirner, curated by Bob Nickas (with catalogue).
In 2014, MIT List Visual Arts Center, (Cambridge, MA), held an exhibition of Uglow’s Standards and Portraits, curated by João Ribas.
From the 1970s onwards, Uglow was included in numerous group shows, in galleries and museums, in the United States and Europe.
