He made abstract oil paintings with brush, palette knife, spray can and other techniques: some of these are intended to be hung in groups and named after the seasons.
He filled notebooks with ideas mingled with sketches in pen or watercolour and did ink drawings on the blank pages of art books he had been given.
The Scottish Arts Council has given a grant to Street Level Photoworks to catalogue and digitise Taylor's work.
Taylor's work is the subject of an ongoing promotion by his friends Alasdair Gray and James Kelman to raise it out of obscurity that they argue is undeserved.
The exhibition included a television interview with Taylor by BBC Scotland's W. Gordon Smith (in the arts TV series "Scope" in 1974).
