More information
Christine Taylor Pattens drawings are made in crow quill and black ink encompassing the range of abstract possibilities from the organic to the geometric. She is represented in the collections of Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Taylor Patten exhibited at the Istanbul Biennial in 2015, curated by Griselda Pollock. Pollock also published an essay on Taylor Pattens artistry in 2015. Pollock have said:
”Abstract, yet akin to contemporary scientific researches into chaos theory and turbulence, Christine Taylor Patten's work resonates with contemporary physics but also with music and the visual arts. Bach and Vermeer are invoked by the artist as her mentors and models, the one endlessly fascinated with the very possibilities of musical form yet deeply and passionately ethical and spiritual, the other quiet, purposive and relentless in his pursuit of a moment of peace in the resolved rhythm of the visual field.”
In 1983, Christine Taylor Patten was hired as one of the people who took care of the artist Georgia O'Keeffe. Later on, in 2013, their time together was described in Taylor Pattens book ”Miss O’Keefe”. An intimate glimpse of O'Keeffe's daily life.
