The Phillips Collection Center for the Study of
Modern Art serves as an interdisciplinary forum for scholarly
discussion, research, and publication on issues of production,
exhibition, conservation, and theory of modern and contemporary art.
Scholars, including curators, faculty and students of art and art
history and related disciplines of the humanities and sciences, as
well as leading contemporary artists animate our study and
discussion of art. The Center hosts a wealth of wide-ranging public
programs including Conversations with Artists, the Duncan Phillips
Lectures, extemporaneous talks and panels in response to current
events, and interdisciplinary symposia with distinguished speakers
from around the world. Audio and video Podcasts of Center programs
are available on the Phillips Collection app, on its website and on
iTunes and iTunes U. The Phillips Collection and the George Washington University (GWU) have a wide ranging partnership that includes GWU art history courses at the Center, co-organization of the Conversations with Artists series, post-doctoral fellowships, an art therapy program, and internships. Fellows and students have access to the museum’s library, which includes nearly 9,500 books focusing on 19th- and 20th-century European and American art. Among the books are monographs on artists whose works are in the collection, exhibition catalogues, museum permanent collection catalogues, and books on photography, as well as Phillips Collection publications from the 1920s to the present. Vertical files provide information on individual artists, art subjects, and art institutions in the form of small exhibition catalogues, articles, and reviews. The Phillips Collection Center for the Study of Modern Art is located in the Phillips family’s former Carriage House, located in Hillyer Court, behind the main building of The Phillips Collection. |
