Lot Essay
The Guston Foundation confirms that this lot will be included in the future catalogue raisonné of the drawings of Philip Guston.
“It is the bareness of drawing that I like. The act of drawing is what locates, suggests, discovers. At times it seems enough to draw, without the distraction of color and mass. Yet it is an old ambition to make drawing and painting one."
(Philip Guston, Exh Cat., New York, David McKee Gallery, Philip Guston: Drawings 1947-1977, 1978, p. 23)
