Hollis Taggart is pleased to present Teruko Yokoi: Noh Theater, an exhibition spanning the celebrated artist’s career from the late 1950s, when she lived in the Hotel Chelsea, through the early 2000s. Opening on May 1st and on view through June 14th, the exhibition features over twenty works that illuminate Yokoi’s remarkable ability to weave modern American abstraction with the traditional aesthetics of Japanese visual culture. The exhibition will focus specifically on Noh Theater - one of Japan’s oldest and most revered art forms - not only as an influence on Yokoi’s practice but also as a profound metaphor for her life and artistic philosophy. Just as Noh performers navigate a balance of structure and expression, Yokoi’s compositions embody a delicate interplay between discipline and spontaneity, tradition and reinvention.

Hollis Taggart is pleased to present its fifth solo exhibition of the Uruguayan artist Pablo Atchugarry, whose instantly recognizable marble sculptures are situated in public spaces around the world as well as in numerous museum collections. One of the most important living South American artists, Atchugarry is known for his mastery of marble, which he began sculpting in the 1970s and continues working with to the present day. Pablo Atchugarry: Secrets of the Material presents twenty works by the artist, both marbles and bronzes, including 7 new marble sculptures created over the past year. The exhibition will be on view at Hollis Taggart from April 17 through May 31

Hollis Taggart is pleased to present the gallery’s second solo show of work by the Japanese American artist Ralph Iwamoto since taking on representation of his estate in 2023. Ralph Iwamoto: Octagonal Permutations will explore the artist’s geometric works from the early 1970s to the early 1990s, focusing specifically on Iwamoto’s meticulous study of the octagon, a form which preoccupied him for nearly a quarter of a century. Repetitively reworking the same shape for over two decades, the exhibition showcases Iwamoto’s remarkable ability to find seemingly endless possibilities within a singular form, demonstrating a boundless creativity spurred by geometric constraint. Ralph Iwamoto: Octagonal Permutations follows the exhibition Wild Growth: Ralph Iwamoto, Surrealist Works from 1955 at Hollis Taggart in March 2023, which focused on a very different body of work from the very beginning of Iwamoto’s oeuvre, when he explored the flora and fauna of his native Hawaii. Ralph Iwamoto: Octagonal Permutations will be on view from June 5 through July 18, 2025, with an opening reception on Thursday, June 5, from 6-8PM.
