Lot Essay

The Guston Foundation confirms that this lot will be included in the future catalogue raisonné of the drawings of Philip Guston.

“At the time, I wanted to make drawings more like painting, without contour. These were drawings with masses, accumulated strokes” (P. Guston, “Untitled,” Modernism: Selections from the Francey and Dr. Martin L. Gecht Collection, exh. cat., The Art Institute, Chicago, 2004, p. 164).
