Philip Guston: Works on Paper
UNITED STATES NEW YORK • The Morgan Library & Museum • 2 May - 31 August 2008 |
 |
The American painter Philip Guston (1913–1980) was a prolific draftsman who often turned to drawing to explore new directions in his art before applying them to painting.
Organized by the KunstMuseum Bonn, and the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung Munich, in cooperation with the artist’s estate, Philip Guston: Works on Paper examines the importance of drawing throughout key periods of Guston’s career, from the mid-1940s to 1980.
The Morgan Library & Museum’s presentation of the exhibition features more than one-hundred drawings, including many rarely seen works that were left in the artist’s studio after his death as well as major loans from museums and private collections.
