Carroll Dunham’s first museum survey comes later than some of his peers’ – he’s 52 – but at the right time and in the right place. His paintings of angry box-headed men in battles – a development of the past five years that’s drawn comparisons to South Park and the late works of Philip Guston – are his strongest yet.
