On the occasion of the exhibition ‘Philip Guston. Room, Sea & Sky,’ Hauser & Wirth presents a rare performance of Morton Feldman’s ‘For Philip Guston’ featuring members of AMOC*.
Composed in 1984, ‘For Philip Guston,’ a nearly five-hour trio, is Morton Feldman’s poignant homage to Guston, touching on friendship, intransigence, affection, memory, loss and love.
The performance will take place within the exhibition ‘Philip Guston. Room, Sea & Sky,’ which investigates the metamorphic qualities of Guston’s practice through his printmaking, particularly towards the end of his life when a heart attack limited his ability to execute large-scale paintings. It was then that he began his collaboration with the famed printshop Gemini G.E.L., creating a series of major prints that evolved his practice to its most mature form.
This event is free to attend, however reservations are required.
Extremely limited seating is first come first served throughout the evening, with additional standing room.
Guests are encouraged to come and go throughout the performance.
