An elderly couple and three children stand in front of a white house with blue trim. On the left side of the painting, grass, a tree, and a horse are partially visible beyond the house. The older feminine figure is wearing a blue button-down dress with a white patterned apron tied at their waist. Their arms wrap around the shoulders of two of the children. The third child, who is slightly taller, stands to the left. The older masculine figure stands to the right of the others, wearing a cowboy hat, jeans, and beige collared shirt over a white undershirt.

Patron, Circle, Fellow, and Sponsor 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.
