Hollis Taggart, 521 West 26th Street, New York, NY (2025)

06/06/2025

Hollis Taggart Downtown is pleased to present John Knuth: The Hot Garden, a solo exhibition of new paintings and a sculptural installation by the Los Angeles-based artist John Knuth. The presentation marks Knuth’s fourth solo exhibition with Hollis Taggart, and his first major body of work following the devastating Eaton Fire in January 2025, which destroyed the artist’s home and archive. The exhibition will feature a selection of new “fly paintings” as well as a sculptural installation — including fragments of artworks recovered from Knuth’s home — that the flies will “paint” in the gallery during the first week of the exhibition.

The Hot Garden will be on view at Hollis Taggart Downtown, 109 Norfolk Street, New York, from June 26 through August 16, 2025, with an opening reception on Thursday, June 26, 6 - 8 PM.

On view | Pablo Atchugarry: Secrets of the Material, through May 31.

Known as one of the few living masters of the medium, the sinuous forms and sense of motion Pablo Atchugarry is able to achieve in marble are unparalleled. Pablo Atchugarry: Secrets of the Material is the artist’s first solo show in New York in five years. Having recently turned seventy-years-old – which also marks the forty-fifth anniversary of his first marble sculpture – the exhibition celebrates Atchugarry’s continued passion for the material. At a time when many artists create models they send elsewhere to be fabricated into artworks by others or by machines, Pablo Atchugarry: Secrets of the Material celebrates an artist who has devoted his life to honing his ability to transform marble into undulating layers and folds, a process he has always done by himself, by hand. As he stated in the interview, “That is what differentiates me. I work with the material, always hands-on, every day. I stive to discover the message within the material. I have absolutely no detachment from my sculpture. I create intentionally and directly.”

“We’re honored to celebrate Pablo Atchugarry’s seventieth birthday with our fifth exhibition of his work at the gallery,” said Hollis Taggart. “By devoting his life to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with the time-honored artistic material of Carrara marble, Atchugarry followed in the footsteps of Michelangelo and Moore and has already entered art history. We are very lucky that he continues to perfect his sculptural practice, and that we are able to share his most recent works with our audiences.”

On view | Teruko Yokoi: Noh Theater, through June 14.

Born in Japan in 1924, Yokoi trained in traditional Japanese painting at the encouragement of her father, a calligrapher and poet who taught her both art forms. In 1953, in the wake of World War II, she left Japan for San Francisco. As one of two Japanese students at the California School of Fine Arts, Yokoi turned to abstraction and received many scholarships and grants, one which allowed her to move to New York in 1955 to study with Hans Hofmann. Becoming one of the few women artists in the 1950s New York milieu of Abstract Expressionism, Yokoi developed deep friendships with Joan Mitchell, Kenzo Okada, and Mark Rothko, among others. In 1957, Yokoi met and later married Sam Francis, with whom she lived in the Hotel Chelsea for a few years before separating and moving to Paris. Yokoi ultimately settled in Switzerland, recognizing in its pristine landscapes the characteristics of the Japanese landscape of her childhood.

Throughout her many travels and relocations, Yokoi remained deeply rooted in Japanese cultural traditions while embracing certain modern sensibilities. She drew heavily from Japanese influences such as calligraphy, traditional music, the tea ceremony, and Noh Theater, amassing a collection of hundreds of Noh Theater books. The exhibition at Hollis Taggart suggests Noh Theater as a conceptual lens through which to view the many layers of Yokoi’s work. Much like Noh actors change masks to reveal new dimensions, Yokoi shifted identities across her various international moves. Noh Theater offered the artist a framework for maintaining the delicate balance between tradition and modernity that resulted in her masterful integration of East Asian visual aesthetics with experimental lyrical abstraction. Beyond this, Noh Theater is actually physically present in some of the artist’s works, as Yokoi sometimes incorporated antique mulberry washi paper, traditionally used to print libretti for Noh performances. This symbolic layering of fragments of Japanese visual culture within her compositions demonstrates how foundational Yokoi’s heritage was to her work, even as she travelled the world and participated in dialogues that shaped the future of modern art.

Hollis Taggart is pleased to announce that it will open a second location on the Lower East Side, Hollis Taggart Downtown, at 109 Norfolk Street realized through a partnership between Hollis Taggart, Paul Efstathiou, and Eleanor de Ropp Flatow. Located on the ground floor of the Switch Building, designed by the Brooklyn-based architectural studio nARCHITECT, the new space is around 2600 square feet across two floors. As Hollis Taggart’s main space in Chelsea has become more focused – though by no means exclusively – on the gallery’s notable work with estates and more established artists, Hollis Taggart Downtown represents the gallery’s continued commitment to emerging and mid-career artists. Hollis Taggart Downtown will open with a group exhibition, Boundless, that captures the momentum of the new expansion. The exhibition will be on view from May 17 through June 21 with a reception celebrating the artists and new location on Saturday, May 17, from 6 to 9PM.

Featuring the work of ten artists whose compositions embrace the limitless vocabulary of abstraction, Boundless is a meditation on freedom of form, gesture, and perception. Curated by Paul Efstathiou, Director of Hollis Taggart Downtown, the exhibition will showcase the work of gallery artists, André Hemer, Dana James, and Osamu Kobayashi as well as Elizabeth Abel, Chellis Baird, Katherine Boxall, Joanne Greenbaum,, Margaux Ogden, Matt Phillips, and Kelly Worman. More than a celebration, Boundless marks a renewed commitment to the gallery’s ongoing mission: to champion artists whose practices move with and against the grain of tradition, pressing toward ever-expanding possibilities.

"6 Under-the-Radar Art Shows to See in New York Right Now– and 3 to Look Forward To" by Lisa Wong Macabasco for Vogue.

Teruko Yokoi, an undersung Japanese-born Swiss abstract painter who spent much of her career in the US, was known for her work combining modern American abstraction with traditional Japanese aesthetics. This exhibition, on view May 1 through June 14, spans the artist’s career from the late ’50s to the early 2000s, focusing specifically on the Japanese dance-drama Noh as an influence on Yokoi’s practice. One of the few women artists in the 1950s New York milieu of Abstract Expressionism, she lived in the Chelsea Hotel for a spell with her husband, the painter Sam Francis; later in May the iconic hotel will unveil a Japanese restaurant named in her honor, showcasing eight works by Yokoi from its collection.

Teruko Yokoi: Noh Theater will be celebrated with an opening reception at Hollis Taggart at 521 West 26th Street on Thursday, May 1st, from 6-8PM.

"In New York’s Chelsea, an Exhibition and a Restaurant Dedicated to the Painter Teruko Yokoi " by Juan Ramírez for T: The NYTimes Style Magazine.

The Japanese Swiss artist Teruko Yokoi lived and worked in New York’s Hotel Chelsea for three productive years until she moved out in 1961. She never returned, says her daughter, Kayo, who has managed her estate since her death in 2020. But next month, the abstract painter and collage artist will have a homecoming of sorts with the opening of a Japanese restaurant named after her and an exhibition at the nearby Hollis Taggart gallery. The restaurant, in the hotel’s cellar, will serve simple Japanese dishes (plated on the chef Tadashi Ono’s own ceramics) across a 12-seat sushi bar and dining room, with a cocktail area specializing in Japanese whiskies. Guests can access it from inside the lobby or, through an exterior staircase tucked between the hotel’s main entrance and a longstanding guitar shop that leads into a small, subterranean garden passageway. Nine of Yokoi’s paintings from throughout her career will be on display and, a few blocks over, 25 others will comprise a gallery survey co-curated by her grandson, Tai, who also oversees her estate. Titled “Noh Theater,” it draws parallels between that traditional form of Japanese performance and the artist’s work. Both often employ tea paper (the former for its programs) and are characterized by “slow, deliberate and symbolic movements,” as Tai writes in an accompanying essay. Kayo says her mother had a history of showing her work beyond galleries: After relocating her family to Switzerland following the dissolution of her marriage to the painter Sam Francis, Yokoi exhibited her work in public spaces like restaurants and hospitals. “She wanted to bring beauty and create a refuge from this tumultuous world,” Kayo says. “I think she would be very happy about this.” The restaurant Teruko will open in mid-May; “Noh Theater” is on view from May 1 through Jun. 14.

Closing Soon | Take Notice: Women's History Month, through April 19th.

Hollis Taggart is pleased to honor the diverse group of women artists, past and present, who have contributed to our gallery programming for over 45 years. Without their contributions we would not be here as a gallery today.

Women’s History Month began as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California. The Education Task Force of the Sonoma County Commission on the Status of Women planned and executed a “Women’s History Week” celebration in 1978. The organizers selected the week of March 8th in order to coordinate with International Women’s Day. The movement spread across the country as other communities initiated their own Women’s History Week celebrations the following year.

Hollis Taggart is pleased to present Teruko Yokoi: Noh Theater, an exhibition spanning the celebrated artist’s career from the late 1950s, when she lived in the Hotel Chelsea, through the early 2000s. Opening on May 1st and on view through June 14th, the exhibition will feature over twenty works that illuminate Yokoi’s remarkable ability to weave modern American abstraction with the traditional aesthetics of Japanese visual culture. The exhibition will focus specifically on Noh Theater - one of Japan’s oldest and most revered art forms - not only as an influence on Yokoi’s practice but also as a profound metaphor for her life and artistic philosophy. Just as Noh performers navigate a balance of structure and expression, Yokoi’s compositions embody a delicate interplay between discipline and spontaneity, tradition and reinvention. Teruko Yokoi: Noh Theater will be celebrated with an opening reception at Hollis Taggart at 521 West 26th Street on Thursday, May 1st, from 6-8PM.
