James Kalm visits Philip Guston Painter, 1957-1967 at Hauser & Wirth, New York, on view through 29 Jul 2016.

Kalm notes that Guston "was an essential member of the New York painting community, achieving major institutional and critical recognition during the 1950s. Despite this success, in the late 1950s he began questioning many of the propositions of Abstract Expressionism with which he’d become associated. Organized by Paul Schimmel, this selection of 36 paintings and 53 drawings, traces the development of Guston’s work during this transitional period from abstraction to the beginnings of his iconic figurative works."
