Art Basel Miami Beach 2024

Timothy Taylor is pleased to participate in Art Basel Miami Beach 2024 with a presentation of works by internationally celebrated Modern and contemporary artists from across the gallery’s program, including Alicia Adamerovich, Daniel Crews-Chubb, Ding Yi, Paul Jenkins, Alex Katz, Sean Landers, Jonathan Lasker, Sahara Longe, Chris Martin, Eddie Martinez, Annie Morris, Hilary Pecis, Michel Pérez Pollo, Hayal Pozanti, Kiki Smith, Paul Anthony Smith, Eduardo Terrazas, and Alice Tippit, together with works by Patrick Martinez and Lauren Satlowski.

Highlights from this presentation include a monumental painting by the visionary abstractionist Paul Jenkins, Timothy Taylor’s first presentation of the artist’s work since announcing its collaboration with The Paul and Suzanne Jenkins Foundation. The large-scale acrylic Phenomena High Alter Wall (1977) showcases the painter’s masterful handling of washes of pigment to scintillating, tidepool-like effect. Jenkins will have his first solo exhibition at Timothy Taylor New York in February 2025. In 7ft 0in (2024), a painting by Hilary Pecis, light plays delicately along the taught surface of a swimming pool in anticipation of swimmers or perhaps a meet; Pecis will have her second solo show with Timothy Taylor at the gallery’s London location in spring 2025. 

Timothy Taylor’s presentation is representative of its concurrent international programming. The booth presents a work on paper by Alicia Adamerovich to coincide with her first solo exhibition at the gallery’s New York space. Pointillist in construction and enigmatically biomorphic, this work builds off of the artist’s abiding interest in the natural world, which can be traced back to her childhood in rural Pennsylvania as well as her reflections on the environmental precarity of the present moment. Hayal Pozanti pays similarly close attention to ecological concerns, as evidenced by this new series of sculptures on UV-printed dibond and steel, which the artist debuted at this year’s Gwangju Biennale. Pozanti’s self-standing, delicately organic forms appear as if captured in the process of regeneration and growth.

Prominently featured are recent works by Alex Katz and Chris Martin. While separated by multiple decades, these iconoclastic painters share a sensitivity to nature and the seasons. On the heels of Katz’s presentation at The Museum of Modern Art, Spring 5 (2023) captures the ephemerality of new branches arrested by a passing breeze. Martin’s Jobless Elephants (2023–24), an airborne magenta form set against an undulating black background, continues the younger artist’s string of ebullient abstractions responding to the natural landscape visible outside his upstate New York studio.

Jonathan Lasker’s painting The Spirit Within (2019) demonstrates the painter’s characteristic restraint and wit. Populated with his signature lexicon of doodle-like and blocky impasto forms, the painting subtly probes the relationships between figure and ground. Lasker will have his first solo exhibition at Timothy Taylor London since 2011 in spring 2025.

This diverse selection of paintings, sculptures, and works on paper embodies Timothy Taylor’s longstanding commitment to championing artists who inform and challenge our understanding of contemporary art.
