Al Taylor: Pet Stains, Puddles, and Full Gospel Neckless

Having begun his studio practice as a painter and draftsman, in 1985 Al Taylor (1948-99) devised a uniquely innovative approach to process and materials that enveloped drawings and three-dimensional objects as he created compositions that were grounded in the formal concerns of painting. This catalogue presents a comprehensive examination of Taylor's Pet Stains and Puddles, which encompass a large grouping of interconnected series that were created between 1989 and 1992; as well as works from Taylor's later series Full Gospel Neckless that the artist made in Denmark for his 1997 solo exhibition at Galleri Tommy Lund. The objects and drawings that comprise these series demonstrate Taylor's relentless curiosity about the process of seeing. This fully illustrated publication features new scholarship on Taylor's work by Mimi Thompson.
