Stanley Whitney at Lisson Gallery, London, 2 drawings
Stanley has seeming Genres of size and materials which make interesting divisions in his work.
Alex Katz at Gavin Brown Lower East Side
Drawings related to big Orange painting of Adas at Serpentine in London.
Philip Guston at Hauser and Wirth
First show with new representation.
I am just back from Europe and this came first to mind picking up the track of where I was before I left NY for London.
It is a ground which art today has extended from. There is little of Guston in Europe yet or deKooning.
The Rothko's seeming rather imperial there at the Tate ( they are illusionistic and value oriented but there is a drawing in them very elemental)-- yet I think Guston was after the other Ab Expressionists at the time he made these. And Picasso and not as much Matisse where they also were coming from.
Like Art beginning itself again, routed in Guston's drawing.
