Although Al Taylor began his career as a painter, in 1985 he devised an innovative approach that encompassed twodimensional drawings and three-dimensional objects. Taylor saw no distinction between his drawings and threedimensional works and referred to his constructions not as sculptures but as “drawings in space” or “drawing instruments”. These objects were usually fashioned out of unconventional materials, and often incorporated humble and humorous elements. They offered multiple viewpoints and would subsequently form the basis of further explorations on paper. Rim Jobs and Sideffects presents two series, “Rim Jobs” (1995) and “Sideffects” (1995–97), which demonstrate Taylor’s multi-dimensional compositions. Al Taylor was born in Springfield, Missouri in 1948 and died in New York in 1999. He exhibited extensively, including solo exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Bern and the Kunstmuseum Luzern. Taylor’s work is held in many prominent collections including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.
