Having exhibited around the world from the Bronx Museum to the Mykonos Biennale, his works are also found in a spectrum of private collections such as Beth Rudin DeWoody and Cornell Trustee William Lim's (B.Arch. '81 & M.Arch '82) Living Collection in Hong Kong. Gerakaris has also been commissioned to create many public, site-specific installations for Bergdorf Goodman, Cornell Tech, The Surrey Hotel, & the Warwick Hotel Bahamas. He recently completed a 116ft permanent public commission at PS101 (Bklyn) awarded by the NYC Dept. of Cultural Affairs Percent for Art Program. Gerakaris also served on the Cornell AAP Advisory Council where he enjoyed organizing and leading various alumni art tours.
