New YorkIt’s a simple thing, an exhibition of paintings. For all the curators, academics, gallerists, advisers, collectors and—yes—critics who might play a role in a painting’s life, it is, at the end, the most approachable of forms: An artist has an idea, tries to put it down on canvas, and you look at it. This straightforwardness may be one reason shows like “Henry Taylor: B Side” are so rare: There’s little room for the artist to hide. Now, viewers have become accustomed to any large solo exhibition of a contemporary artist at a major museum including all sorts of accouterments. Happenings. Activations. Immersions. Experiences.
