Based in New York’s art-rich Chelsea district, Hollis Taggart specialises in presenting American Modern, Post-War, and contemporary art. Formerly known as Hollis Taggart Galleries, the gallery was first established in 1979 by art collector Hollis Taggart in Los Angeles, before relocating to its current location in Manhattan in the 1990s. Seeking to showcase the trajectory of American art from the mid-19th century to the present, Hollis Taggart places an emphasis on historically-informed scholarship, collaborating with scholars and art institutions to develop exhibitions, catalogues, and catalogues raisonnés.
