Join a special after-hours tour with Assistant Curator of International Art, Michael Raymond

Join a special after-hours tour with Assistant Curator of International Art, Michael Raymond. This one hour tour will discuss the themes of the exhibition as well as provide insights to the planning of this first retrospective in over 20 years.

For over 50 years, artist Philip Guston restlessly made paintings and drawings that captured the anxious and turbulent world he was witnessing.

Guston was a complex artist who took inspiration from the nightmarish world around him to create new and surprising imagery. This exhibition explores how his paintings bridged the personal and the political, the abstract and the figurative, the humorous and the tragic.

Following the tour, participants will have the opportunity for a private view of the exhibition.

Since 2019 Michael Raymond has been Assistant Curator, International Art, at Tate Modern where he works on collection displays and community programmes. He has co-curated the exhibitions Nam June Paik (2019), Cezanne (2022) and Philip Guston (2023) as well as curating the installation of Beuys’ Acorns by Ackroyd & Harvey on Tate Modern’s south terrace (2021).

All Tate Modern entrances are step-free. You can enter via the Turbine Hall and into the Natalie Bell Building on Holland Street, or into the Blavatnik Building on Sumner street.

There are lifts to every floor of the Blavatnik and Nathalie Bell buildings. Alternatively you can take the stairs.

  • Fully accessible toilets are located on every floor on the concourses.
  • A quiet room is available to use in the Natalie Bell Building on Level 4.
  • Ear defenders can be borrowed from the Ticket desks.
