Hollis Taggart

Hollis Taggart is pleased to announce its representation of artist Tim Kent, who joins the gallery’s growing contemporary program. Kent’s work examines the dynamics of power as experienced through architecture and the formal vocabulary of art. His own paintings, which embrace both soft painterly gestures and crisp graphic lines, often depict architectural spaces and landscapes disrupted by the incorporation of grids or other geometries as well as figures in motion. Hollis Taggart previously included Kent’s work in its fall 2020 exhibition, Figure as Form, and in its recent online presentation for art miami. The artist will be featured in a group show at the gallery’s location in Southport, Connecticut later this year and will be the subject of a solo exhibition at Hollis Taggart’s Chelsea flagship in March 2022.

At some point during our conversation earlier this month, the 89-year-old artist Audrey Flack mentioned to me that she was wearing a t-shirt she had bought at the Museum of the City of New York. It read, “Feminist AF,” she told me. “When I first saw it, I thought, ‘AF, oh, that’s for Audrey Flack,’” she laughed. “I couldn’t believe they knew my initials!”
