The next 12 months will be big for Timothy Taylor, one of London’s top gallerists who represents 20th and 21st century greats including Alex Katz, Kiki Smith and Antoni Tàpies.
“One of the things I have always wanted to do as a gallery is to bring generations of artists, either younger or older, to a new audience. This is about bringing Victor to a new audience. We’re recognizing who he is, and what he did, but in as fresh a way as I can,” says Taylor, who is putting on the show with support from Willing’s family.
The exhibition will feature the 1982 painting “Cythère,” the mythical birthplace of Venus. It is a tangle of vegetation done in sunset pink, orange, red and green. “But then he started making paintings with this extraordinary clear, visual identity. I think he actually realized that his disease defined him, and he left a body of work that he would never have made otherwise. That’s an interesting dilemma to have to deal with, and it certainly wasn’t an easy one,” Taylor says from the office of his Mayfair gallery on Bolton Street, not far from Green Park.
“They were quite ambitious paintings. One of them is so big, I can’t actually even hang it downstairs. He was working on a very grand scale. There’s often quite a lot of empty space in them, but the colors are strong, and the line is always strong. They’re always a very physical element,” Taylor says.
, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, Queen Elizabeth’s cousins, is moving forward on other fronts, and in other countries. Designed by Studio MDA with a black-and-white exterior, the new space spans 6,000 square feet, and is set to open in early 2023.
