Description

Works from museums and essays reveal the artist's career, intentions, influences, achieve-ments. This survey focuses on Guston's series of small panels that marked his rejection of abstraction and informed his paintings from the time of his 'new' alphabet show at the Marlborough Gallery (1970) until his death in 1980.
