Shortly
before his death in June 1980, Philip
Guston collaborated with the renowned print studio,
Gemini G.E.L., on a suite of twenty-five lithographs.
These prints perfectly manifest the bold, figurative
style of Guston's late work, which had sent shockwaves
through the art world in 1970 as a radical departure
from his trademark abstract expressionism. Like his
late paintings and drawings, the Gemini editions are
brooding ruminations of Guston's personal life, depicting
everyday objects found in his studio, like shoes, chairs,
easel, brushes and flatirons, as well as heads, eyes,
and knobby-kneed legs. Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant
Weyl will have a selection of these Guston lithographs
on view from May 14 - July 11, 2008.
