워싱턴DC의 내셔널갤러리를 비롯, 휴스턴미술관, 보스턴미술관, 런던 테이트 모던에서 순회 전시될 예정이었던 필립 거스톤 회고전 'Philip Guston Now'가 2024년 이후로 전격 연기됐다. #BlackLivesMatter 운동으로 인종차별 문제가 민감해진 지금, 거스톤이 1930년대 즐겨 그렸던 KKK 모티프의 작품들 때문으로 알려졌다.
올 여름 내셔널갤러리에서 시작될 예정이었던 이 회고전엔 거스톤의 회화 125점과 드로잉 70점을 소개할 예정이었다.

Philip Guston Now
Statement from the Directors
Kaywin Feldman, Director, National Gallery of Art
Frances Morris, Director, Tate Modern
Matthew Teitelbaum, Ann and Graham Gund Director, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Gary Tinterow, Director, The Margaret Alkek Williams Chair, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
After a great deal of reflection and extensive consultation, our four institutions have jointly made the decision to delay our successive presentations of Philip Guston Now. We are postponing the exhibition until a time at which we think that the powerful message of social and racial justice that is at the center of Philip Guston's work can be more clearly interpreted.
We recognize that the world we live in is very different from the one in which we first began to collaborate on this project five years ago. The racial justice movement that started in the U.S. and radiated to countries around the world, in addition to challenges of a global health crisis, have led us to pause.
As museum directors, we have a responsibility to meet the very real urgencies of the moment. We feel it is necessary to reframe our programming and, in this case, step back, and bring in additional perspectives and voices to shape how we present Guston's work to our public. That process will take time.
Collectively and individually, we remain committed to Philip Guston and his work. We plan to rebuild the retrospective with time to reconsider the many important issues the work raises.
This show has been years in the planning, the result of a true collaborative spirit among us. We plan to present a reconsidered Guston exhibition in 2024 and will work together to do so.

Philip Guston Blockbuster Show Postponed by Four Museums
The works that appeared to ignite concern include hooded Ku Klux Klan figures, a motif in Guston’s paintings since the early 1930s.
