Hollis Taggart Announces Representation of the Estate of Dorothy Hood in Cooperation with McClain Gallery in Texas

February 4, 2025

Hollis Taggart is pleased to present its first solo exhibition of the American artist Dorothy Hood (1918-2000) while announcing its representation of her estate alongside McClain Gallery of Houston, Texas. Hood was a pioneering figure of American Modernism who fused Abstract Expressionism with elements of surrealism and was heavily influenced by the two decades she spent immersed in the Mexican art scene while living in Mexico City and Puebla. Dorothy Hood: Remember Something Out of Time will reintroduce New York audiences to the artist, who has not been the focus of an exhibition here since the early 1980s. Featuring eight paintings alongside drawings and collages, the exhibition will showcase Hood’s work from the 1960s through the 1990s. Dorothy Hood: Remember Something Out of Time will be on view on the first floor of Hollis Taggart from February 27 through April 12, 2025, and will open with a reception on Thursday, February 27, from 6 to 8PM.

 

Dorothy Hood’s work has received critical attention over the past decade with two museum exhibitions: Color of Being /El Color del Ser: Dorothy Hood, at the Art Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi, in 2016, and Kindred Spirits: Louise Nevelson & Dorothy Hood, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in 2019, along with solo shows at McClain Gallery in Houston. Her work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, among many other institutions.
