May 15, 2019 at 18:23 comment added Earthliŋ To summarize this answer in the smooth case, topologically trivial vector bundles over smooth affine varieties are known to be trivial for $\mathbb C^n \times (\mathbb C^∗)^m$, the case $m=0$ being the classical Quillen-Suslin theorem and $m \neq 0$ being the slightly more general affine toric case of Gubeladze.
May 14, 2019 at 23:02 comment added cgodfrey @Qfwfq I wasn't sure if that ("holomorphic" homotopic to trivial bundle implies holomorphically trivial) was true so I stopped short of making that claim. Although based on the reference provided in the comments by the OP everything would make sense if it was true. And yes I decided to delete that first paragraph since it was not really related to the question and at best confusing. Certainly Grauert's Oka principle is better explained elsewhere.
May 14, 2019 at 19:50 comment added Qfwfq @cgodfrey: sure, you didn't write that "holomorphic" homotopic to trivial bundle implies holomorphically trivial; though, since the OP's question asked for the latter, I thought I was missing some implication. (now you've deleted that paragraph, anyway) - (Also, yes, all these things are not equivalent in the algebraic and holomorphic settings)

removed confusing rephrasing of grauert's principle...
May 14, 2019 at 16:33 comment added cgodfrey I appear to have accidentally invoked GAGA for an affine variety -- for $X$ the curve of positive genus minus a point all hlomorphic line bundles are trivial even though many algebraic ones are non-trivial! Thanks again for your comments, revisions forthcoming.
May 14, 2019 at 11:06 comment added Earthliŋ I had in mind Cor. 3.3 of J. Leiterer's chapter "Holomorphic vector bundles and the Oka-Grauert principle" in Several Complex Variables IV which states: If $E$ and $F$ are holomorphic vector bundles of a Stein analytic space $X$ which are continuously isomorphic, then $E$ and $F$ are also holomorphically isomorphic.
May 14, 2019 at 9:17 comment added Earthliŋ Thank you very much for your answer. Your "homotopy" point of view of Grauert's theorem seems to be at odds with the interpretation I stated in my question. In particular, making a continuous family (over $I$) between two holomorphic vector bundles into a holomorphic family doesn't say anything about the isomorphism type of the bundles at $0$ and $1$, as I guess @Qfwfq was wondering.
May 14, 2019 at 8:50 comment added cgodfrey @Qfwfq Looking again I realize what I wrote was less than clear -- I also hope I didn't break math.
May 14, 2019 at 8:47 comment added cgodfrey Oh no, I don't think it implies $E$ is holomorphically trivial. But being topologically trivial is equivalent to a continuous at every time$\tilde{E}$ and Graurt says we can make it holomorphic at every time. This is still far from being holomorphically trivial as seen in the example.
May 13, 2019 at 23:59 comment added Qfwfq Does the existence of $\tilde{E}$ on $X\times I$ imply that $E$ is holomorphically trivial on $X$? Is there some sort of theorem that says that holomorphic v.b. on $X$ are in bijection with holomorphic-at-every-time-homotopy classes of holomorphic maps from $X$ into the Grassmannian?

Decided it was lame to say "some clarification"
