One major challenge was finding a suitable location, which ended up being a four-storey neoclassical building with arched windows and Corinthian pilasters, steps from the Champs-Elysées. The Paris-based studio Laplace, a frequent collaborator of the gallery, totally reconfigured the interior, which had been divided up as a radio studio. They removed a central staircase, non-structural walls, and a mezzanine, creating six metres of height in the ground-floor gallery.
Two large exhibition rooms are the backdrop for a stunning inaugural show of new works by Los Angeles artist Henry Taylor . A Southern California native, Taylor received his MFA at the California Institute of the Arts. He opted to create figurative art at a time when it had fallen out of vogue, a choice that held his career back for a long time.
A painter of people, Taylor rejects the title of portraitist, and often employs loose, modernist techniques. Hoptman says he has bigger ambitions: to let the viewer know “I’m part of art history…You can be genuine and also be highly, highly, highly cultured.” One work, of four figures reclining on the grass, is a wink to Edouard Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe. Taylor’s sculptures, assemblages of objects such as bleach bottles and floor mops, also contain artistic allusions.
