His first claim to fame seems to have been exhibiting two works at the Armory Show in 1913, Movement and Figures. Gussow exhibited at the Society of Independent Artists between 1917 and 1934 and at Salons of America in the 1930s. By that time, he had moved from abstract compositions to recognizable urban subjects. The Whitney Museum of American Art, for example, has his Subway Stairs. One of a kind artwork.
