On March 23, Hollis Taggart launched Alan Wolfson: Brooklyn Elevated and Highlights from our New Acquisitions, a digital exhibition that will be available in the gallery’s website and onsite at 521 W. 26th Street by appointment only.

The presentation includes a selection of artist Alan Wolfson’s detailed miniature constructions of scenes from the New York City of the 1970s and 1980s, including a new commission completed in 2020 that marks the artist’s most intricate work to-date. Wolfson’s works vividly capture his memories of the city, mixing real-life scenes with his own imaginings of the place where he grew up. The exhibition will also feature works recently added to the gallery’s collection, including paintings by Karen Appel, Norman Bluhm, Gene Davis, Hans Hofmann, Jacob Kainen, Kenzo Okada, and Michael (Corinne) West, among others.
