Artists

Henry Taylor, James Jarvaise

Press release

Opening during Zurich Art Weekend 2026, 'Sometimes a straight line has to be crooked' is the first European exhibition bringing together the work of Henry Taylor, one of today's most celebrated artists, in dialogue with that of his teacher, California modernist James Jarvaise (1924 – 2015). It is significant that Taylor's debut at Hauser & Wirth in Zurich takes place in dialogue with Jarvaise—the artist who saw something special in Taylor when he was a student in the 1980s. Concurrently on view, the Musée National Picasso-Paris is presenting the solo exhibition, 'Henry Taylor. Where thoughts provoke,' from 8 April – 6 September.
