For the health and safety of our patrons and speakers, masks may be required for indoor in-person Houston Seminar events, and we strongly prefer registrants to be fully vaccinated. Since events are held at a variety of venues with their own policies and protocols, there may be other requirements for some courses. We make every effort to inform guests in a timely manner if there are additional health and safety guidelines they will be asked to follow. Our trips and study tours, particularly those that include shared transportation or plane flights, may also require guidelines beyond those for in-person courses, which will be determined in conjunction with venues, vendors, and local guidelines. We will make every effort to announce these guidelines as far in advance as possible. Thank you for bearing with us as we continue to navigate the world of COVID-19 while bringing enriching experiences to our audiences.

THIS COURSE HAS PASSED, BUT A RECORDING OF THE SEMINAR IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE BELOW.
A recording is available for purchase below.
Join the Houston Seminar and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, for a pop-up virtual tour of Philip Guston Now, with distinguished curator Alison de Lima Greene. De Lima Greene will take us on a deep dive into the first retrospective of the influential artist’s work in nearly two decades, features paintings, prints, and drawings—both well-known and rarely seen—from public and private collections. Subscribers will have the chance to participate in a Q&A following the tour.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from de Lima Greene, the Isabel Brown Wilson Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art. In this virtual tour, she will shed light on a selection of works in the exhibition, giving subscribers a unique, insider’s look at the breadth of Guston’s work. Among 20th-century artists, Guston is especially relevant to a younger generation. Philip Guston Now shows his willingness to engage with social injustice and to excavate the anxieties of personal conviction from his earliest works in the 1930s through to his last in the 1970s.
