For 20 years, at least, the Phillips has been ill-run, besotted with renting out its great modern collection outside DC, and with emphasizing contemporary art (usually badly) within it. 🤷🏻♂️
A good director would stand up for the museum and its work rather than use Duncan Phillips as a meat shield.
A good director would stand up for the museum and its work rather than use Duncan Phillips as a meat shield.
“Like many of my museum colleagues,” said Eliza Rathbone, chief curator emerita at the Phillips, “I’m deeply saddened and appalled that the Phillips Collection would so irreparably mar the vision of the founder by selling such carefully chosen works.”
Absolutely heartbreaking.

Phillips Collection will sell O’Keeffe and other masterpieces, sparking backlash
The Phillips Collection will sell at auction artworks by Georgia O’Keeffe, Georges Seurat and Arthur Dove, drawing a debate over deaccessioning.
