Henry Taylor’s monumental mixed-media work ‘Untitled’ (2022) pays homage to the Black Panther Party and to his brother, Randy. The work was recently exhibited in his museum solo show ‘Henry Taylor: B Side’ at MOCA Los Angeles and the Whitney Museum in New York. Jenny Holzer’s ‘Survival,’ (1989) is presented in tandem with her solo show ‘Jenny Holzer: Light Line’ at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, where the work originally debuted in the artist’s 1989 retrospective. Zoe Leonard’s 40-part photographic work ‘Prologue’ (2017/2022) is drawn from the artist’s epic work ‘Al río/To the River’ (2016 – 2022).

First exhibited in ‘Henry Taylor: B Side,’ a major survey exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 2022 that travelled to The Whitney Museum of American Art the following year, ‘Untitled’ (2022) is a poignant, large-scale installation. It comprises 35 life-size, headless mannequins, configured as a meeting of the 20th-century American political organization, the Black Panthers.
