Description
The Phillips Collection: A New Century of Artistic Expression. In 2021, the Phillips Collection celebrated its centennial, marking a milestone in the history of modern art in America. To commemorate this occasion, a groundbreaking volume was published, offering an unprecedented breadth of insights into the museum's growing art collection. This book brings together diverse artistic expressions across wide-ranging media by renowned artists from the 19th to the 21st centuries. The publication features over 200 plates showcasing paintings, sculptures, videos, quilts, prints, and photographs, many with object responses by notable contributors. The book includes an opening essay by Phillips director Dorothy Kosinski, artist conversations, and 11 thematic essays by scholars and practitioners across disciplines. A richly illustrated volume that sheds light on the museum's acquisitions since 2000, Seeing Differently is a valuable resource for anyone interested in modern art and its diverse expressions.
