Revisiting Figuration in Contemporary Art

At a time when figuration is the dominant way of working in the international art world, New York’s Richard Taittinger Gallery takes a look back at an important figurative art movement in Europe in the 1960s and ‘70s. The gallery’s engaging exhibition—Narrative Figuration 60s-70s, which was curated by Richard Taittinger in collaboration with Yoyo Maeght, granddaughter of the celebrated French art dealer and publisher Aimé Maeght—presents nine international artists who were related to the movement through the strength of the visual storytelling in their artworks.
