Washington, DC | Tour of ‘Breaking It Down: Conversations from the Vault’ at the Phillips Collection
November 12 | 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Join curator Renee Maurer on a one-hour guided tour of The Phillips Collection, exploring Breaking It Down: Conversations from the Vault plus access to the exhibition Creative Aging. In connection with Breaking It Down‘s examination of the history of collecting at the Phillips, inseparable from its founding mission of using the arts to support healing and community-building, the tour will introduce us to the museum’s current cutting-edge education programs.
About the exhibition:
The Phillips Collection, from its inception, has focused on creating what founder Duncan Phillips called “units”: groups of works of art that represent key aspects of an artist’s vision or spirit. Leaders in championing the independent-minded artist, Duncan and Marjorie Phillips gave many their first museum exhibitions and acquisitions. This presentation offers a deep dive and new take on several artists who are cornerstones of the collection, including Georges Braque, Richard Diebenkorn, Arthur Dove, Sam Gilliam, Paul Klee, and Georgia O’Keeffe, alongside a growing collection of works by trailblazers of our time, including Sean Scully, Sylvia Snowden, Renée Stout, Joyce Wellman, and more.
