Ongoing – Philip Guston Now Exhibition @ MFAH Philip Guston never stopped questioning the place of the artist in society.

Ongoing – Walter De Maria: Boxes for Meaningless Work Exhibition @ Menil Highlighting De Maria’s varied and innovative approaches to media and scale, the exhibition includes a large group of conceptual drawings and photography, sculpture related to the development of the artist’s innovative land art projects of the 1970s, as well as examples of his sound and film work.
