Author: Henry Taylor
This volume encompasses the entire four-decade career of Los Angeles–based artist Henry Taylor (born 1958). Uniting around 100 works—including paintings, sculptures and installations—the monograph evinces Taylor’s lifelong dedication to depicting the human condition in all its diversity. Taylor is best known for his depiction of Black American life, and each of his works is a holistic visual biography. Interweaving personal experiences, collective memories and reinterpretations of iconic works of art—notably those by David Hammons, Philip Guston and Pablo Picasso—Taylor’s kinetic, loose brushwork animates and preserves moments in time, both pivotal and quotidian.In addition to high-quality reproductions, this eponymous monograph features an overarching essay on the artist’s career by curator Joanne Snrech; an interview by Cécile Debray; a critical essay on the representation of American history in the artist’s oeuvre by art historian Elvan Zabunyan; a reprint of a text by curator Laura Hoptman published in 2012 for MoMA; and a chronology by curator François Dareau
