An entirely new, never-seen Gorky painting was discovered beneath another of his famous paintings, The Limit (1947), which had been on loan to the National Gallery of Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The two paintings will be exhibited together at Hauser & Wirth’s Chelsea gallery from November 16 to December 23.
