Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of works on paper by Philip Taaffe, the first dedicated exclusively to his graphic work. Taaffe’s elaborate images are the slow product of wide-ranging meditations on the interrelation of generic forms and images in art, nature, architecture, and archaeology, filtered through a critical and dynamic relation to the history of abstract painting, both Occidental and Oriental.
Opposite – Philip Taaffe, Spectral Mandala, 2007
Exhibition runs through to February 20th, 2010

Following the first known self-portrait by Jan van Eyck, in 1433, to Durer’s self promotional works and the haunting self-portraits of Rembrandt, art history has since been full of the subjective gaze of the artist upon themselves. Today the practice continues, often for very widely differing conceptual reasons, but the telling self study still hints at mortality as well as exploring that strange meeting point where the introspective self gaze meets the objective outward look and attunes itself in order to displace the subjective/objective dichotomy.
Opposite – Terri Thomas, Foundlings (2009)
