Hollis Taggart

Curated by Glenn Adamson and Severin Delfs and spanning two Chelsea gallery spaces, Drop, Cloth is a group show that presents a 50-year lineage of draping in contemporary art, both in the literal sense in which the substrate of the canvas is activated, and in the representational sense, where textile forms are depicted. The exhibition will also navigate the social implications of textile and drapery as a feminist intervention and a method of identity exploration. Proudly co-presented by Susan Inglett Gallery and Hollis Taggart, Drop, Cloth will have an opening reception on the evening of Thursday, December 11th at both galleries, but will be open to the public beginning on December 4. The exhibition is accompanied by a physical catalogue with illustrations of works and essays by both Adamson and Delfs.

Hollis Taggart is pleased to present a major exhibition of works by Rafael Soriano (1920-2015), a key figure in Cuban art history and one of the major Latin American artists of his generation. Rafael Soriano: Elegido recuerdo (Chosen Memory) will function as a mini-retrospective, tracing the trajectory of Soriano’s oeuvre from his early geometric abstractions in the 1950s and 60s, to the more organic and biomorphic forms of the 1970s, through to his unparalleled explorations of light and color in the 1980s and 90s. The exhibition, which follows the launch of the artist’s catalogue raisonné last year, is the largest presentation of Soriano’s work to ever take place in New York City and will span the entire first floor of Hollis Taggart’s main location in Chelsea. On view from October 16 through November 22, 2025, Elegido recuerdo (Chosen Memory) will be celebrated with an opening reception on Thursday, October 16, from 6-8PM. There will also be a presentation about the artist by Alejandro Anreus, Ph.D., emeritus professor of art history and Latin American and Latinx Studies at William Paterson University and editor of Soriano’s catalogue raisonné, on Saturday, November 1, at 2PM.
