Hollis Taggart is pleased to present Teruko Yokoi: Noh Theater, an exhibition spanning the celebrated artist’s career from the late 1950s, when she lived in the Hotel Chelsea, through the early 2000s. Opening on May 1st and on view through June 14th, the exhibition will feature over twenty works that illuminate Yokoi’s remarkable ability to weave modern American abstraction with the traditional aesthetics of Japanese visual culture. The exhibition will focus specifically on Noh Theater - one of Japan’s oldest and most revered art forms - not only as an influence on Yokoi’s practice but also as a profound metaphor for her life and artistic philosophy. Just as Noh performers navigate a balance of structure and expression, Yokoi’s compositions embody a delicate interplay between discipline and spontaneity, tradition and reinvention. Teruko Yokoi: Noh Theater will be celebrated with an opening reception at Hollis Taggart at 521 West 26th Street on Thursday, May 1st, from 6-8PM.
