An exhibition opening reception will be held on Saturday, September 12th from 5-8pm at CK Contemporary. Sculptor J. Nick Taylor will be in attendance and refreshments will be served.

CK Contemporary is pleased to announce “Between Gesture and Form: Abstraction from Midcentury to Now,” an exhibition tracing the throughline between mid-century American abstraction and contemporary sculpture, on view from September 12, 2026 through October 10, 2026. The exhibition brings together paintings by two towering figures of postwar American art, Jack Wolfe (1924–2007) and Walter Quirt (1902–1968), alongside new sculptural work by California-based artist Nick Taylor, positioning three distinct bodies of work in dialogue across seven decades.
