Material Practice | Guided Tours

We invite you to come and explore the many works in the Material Practice: Howard Taylor’s Journal exhibition with our Voluntary Gallery Guides.

Material Practice: Howard Taylor’s Journal invites you to witness firsthand the evolution of one of Western Australia’s most significant artists, seen through artworks in the Collection along with pages from his Journal.

Howard Taylor is one of Western Australia’s most significant artists. When delving into his oeuvre, the focus is emphatically drawn to the artist’s intense preoccupation with process. Taylor’s Journal was acquired by AGWA in 2004 and provides intriguing insights into the artist’s material practice through entries from 1946 to 2001. Taylor’s journey as an artist is deeply rooted in experimentation, innovation and a relentless exploration of his chosen medium, as documented through the pages of his Journal.
