The Duncan Phillips Lectures are given by distinguished artists, historians, and critics, whose presentations cover a broad range of aesthetic concerns. The lecture series was started in 1987 by Laughlin Phillips (director of the museum from 1972 to 1992) in honor of his father, Duncan Phillips, the founder of The Phillips Collection.
The Duncan Phillips Lectures are presented by The Phillips Collection Center for the Study of Modern Art, an interdisciplinary forum for research, programs, and publication on modern art.
