Hollis Taggart is pleased to announce the first major exhibition about the trailblazing collector and gallerist Martha Jackson to take place in New York City. From 1953 to 1969, New York’s Martha Jackson Gallery displayed the work of many young, emerging artists who would go on to become internationally renowned household names, including Grace Hartigan, Alfred Jensen, Willem de Kooning, Louise Nevelson, and Bob Thompson. Wild and Brilliant: The Martha Jackson Gallery and Post-War Art will feature over twenty works that were either exhibited at The Martha Jackson Gallery or which are similar to works that were shown there.

The exhibition, on view from November 18 through December 30, 2021 at Hollis Taggart’s Chelsea location, will also include archival materials, such as letters, photographs, and exhibition catalogues, from the Martha Jackson Gallery Archives at the University at Buffalo Anderson Gallery.
