Henry Taylor and James Jarvaise in Dialogue at Hauser & Wirth Zurich
Hauser & Wirth Zurich presents "Sometimes a straight line has to be crooked," the first European exhibition pairing Henry Taylor with his former teacher, California modernist James Jarvaise (1924–2015). Taylor's debut at the gallery is framed by this dialogue, highlighting Jarvaise's early recognition of Taylor's talent in the 1980s. The show coincides with Taylor's major solo exhibition at Musée national Picasso-Paris. Featuring over seven decades of work, the exhibition explores shared interests in the figure and landscape. It includes paintings and drawings from Jarvaise's Hudson River School series, which debuted in the 1959 MoMA exhibition "Sixteen Americans" alongside Jay DeFeo, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Frank Stella. The exhibition travels from Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles.
