Artspace and Phaidon, in partnership with Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, are pleased to announce a new limited edition silkscreen by preeminent contemporary artist Henry Taylor.

For nearly forty years, Henry Taylor has depicted the world around him through his own eyes, often resulting in compelling images of diverse subjects from family and friends to celebrities, politicians, or strangers. Combining flat planes of color with areas of generous detail and loose brushstrokes, his new limited edition print, like his paintings, radiates with life.

Taylor is known for creating empathetic portraits that present holistic, complex, and deeply human narratives. “It’s about respect, because I respect these people. It’s a two-dimensional surface, but they are really three-dimensional beings.” —Henry Taylor

Intimately engaged with art history, Taylor’s work recalls the provocative and transformational paintings of artists like Philip Guston and Pablo Picasso. The expansive retrospective exhibition Henry Taylor: B Side traveled from MOCA Los Angeles to The Whitney in New York and was celebrated as the most consequential museum exhibition of 2023, garnering countless glowing reviews.

“As long as there are artists like Henry Taylor around, painting is in little danger of dying.”
