A new exhibition at the Whitney surveys the work of contemporary artist Henry Taylor (born 1958). Taylor grew up near and is based in Los Angeles, where he paints people of all kinds in a figurative style: celebrities, friends, strangers on the street, and people he imagines. Henry Taylor: B Side, displays over 150 Taylor pieces, making it the largest showing of his work to date. The exhibition is on view starting tomorrow through January 28. Whitney curator Barbara Haskell joins to preview the show and introduce us to the world of Henry Taylor.

*Correction: in the interview it was said that Sean Bell died in Oakland, but he was killed by police in New York City. And also, Hailee Selassie was the Emperor of Ethiopia, not the President*
