Contemporaries and Contemporaries Patron members are invited to join us for a tour of Henry Taylor: B Side, the first exhibition to survey the career of the leading contemporary artist. Through painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation, this retrospective celebrates an artist widely appreciated for his unique aesthetic, social vision, and freewheeling experimentation. Taylor’s figurative work, populated by friends, relatives, strangers on the street, athletes, politicians, and entertainers, showcases an imagination that encompasses multiple worlds.

There are multiple date options for this event. Each tour, lasting approximately fifty minutes, will be led by one of the Museum’s Joan Tisch Teaching Fellows.
