Dr. Taylor produces research on a wide variety of art historical topics, some of more intellectual interest and others for defined legal or commercial purposes. As part of his dissertation research, he compiled a database of all artworks exhibited and sold on the Hungarian art market from 1800 to 1914, including complete copies of all surviving exhibition catalogues. This archive has now been acquired by the Frick Museum Library's Center for Collecting, and he served as the Leon Levy Fellow at the Frick's Centery for the History of Collecting for 2016. Dr. Taylor is also currently working with Dipso Films on Elmyr on the Edge, their definitive documentary film on the Hungarian art forger, Elmy de Hory.
