Hollis Taggart will Represent Leading Pop Artist Idelle Weber

Hollis Taggart will Represent Leading Pop Artist Idelle Weber

Gallery will Open Exhibition of Weber’s Work on November 8, 2018

October 16, 2018

New York, NY—October 16, 2018—Hollis Taggart announced today that the gallery will begin formally representing Idelle Weber, a major figure in the Pop Art movement, but one whose work deserves greater recognition. The gallery has had a multi-year relationship with Weber, beginning with its 2013 exhibition Idelle Weber: The Pop Years. Organized by the gallery, that 2013 show helped bring Weber back into the forefront of contemporary thinking about mid-century women artists—and led to the acquisition of a major Weber works, including the painting Munchkins I, II, & III (1964) by the Chrysler Museum of Art in 2013, and the Jump Rope (1967–1968) wall sculpture, by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in 2016.

In conjunction with this new relationship, Hollis Taggart will present an exhibition of Weber’s work this fall, the gallery’s third show in its new, street-level space on West 26th Street. Opening November 8, 2018, the exhibition will focus on Weber’s work from the 1960s, with a few earlier and later works as well. The exhibition, titled Idelle Weber: Postures and Profiles from the 50s and 60s, will feature more than 30 works, including Lucite cube sculptures, collages, and gouache and tempera on paper works. These works address some of the themes that occupied and inspired Weber throughout her career, including the corporate world, fashion, politics, and women in society.

MANIERRE DAWSON AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

MANIERRE DAWSON AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

October 2016

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s recent rehang of its collection of early twentieth century modernism prominently features Manierre Dawson’s Meeting (The Three Graces) of 1912. Under the rubric of Reimagining Modernism, the museum has combined artworks from both sides of the Atlantic in thematic groupings that bring art historical heavy-hitters together with lesser-known works from the collection. As the first American painter to work completely non-objectively and an early practitioner of Cubism, Dawson’s innovative spirit shines through this work. It holds its own alongside paintings by Wassily Kandinsky, Marsden Hartley, Pablo Picasso, and many others in a gallery dedicated to the avant-garde impulses of the early days of modernism. As a longtime champion of Dawson’s work, Hollis Taggart Galleries is pleased to see Meeting (The Three Graces), which once graced our own gallery walls, in such prestigious and deserving company.

'Flight from Nature: The Abstract as Ideal'

May 2013

May 14 through May 31, 2013

Flight from Nature proposes that a great deal of painting and sculpture today is concerned with the imitation of life. It aims to represent a man, a tree or a flower. By way of contrast, the artists represented in this exhibition exploit a purity of means, be that through line, color, or form, to create a complete, innocent, and at times savage, expression in the world.
