PHILIP GUSTON 1969 1979 at HAUSER & WIRTH

James Kalm is back from an end of summer hiatus, with a renewed vigor for his sixteenth season of the James Kam Report. It is this reporter’s pleasure to bring viewers glances of the historic exhibition “Philip Guston 1969-1979” at Hauser & Wirth. Having been intrigued with the paintings of Philip Guston since the late 1960s, your correspondent has kept an eye out for any chance to document examples of the work. This historical exhibition presents Guston’s late works which, despite the misguided attempts by cancel culture to stifle the public’s opportunity to view these controversial works, and despite the postponement of a multi museum retrospective, demonstrates why Philip Guston has become an iconic presence on the contemporary painting scene. The first gallery selection is composed of works foregrounding the hooded “Klansmen” pieces that caused his traveling retrospective to be “postponed”. The second gallery features his very late works musings on approaching death, the futility of art, and man’s inhumanity to man. A question-and-answer discussion with the artist’s daughter, Musa Mayer, begins this episode. A musical introduction is provided by Piers Lawrence.
