Three watercolors by avant-garde composer John Cage—a close friend and collaborator of Jasper Johns—are on view with other works from the Phillips by contemporaries Mark Tobey and Morris Graves.
The Phillips presents drawings and sculptures by one of Britain’s most high-profile living artists, Antony Gormley (b. 1950), the Turner Prize-winner’s first U.S. museum exhibition of works on paper.
Jasper Johns’s creative impulses and collaborations with distinguished print workshops have produced over 360 editions, acclaimed as some of the most pioneering artworks of the last century.
Ecliptic—three interrelated large-scale drawings made of yarn looped over thousands of nails—investigates spatial perception and engages the architecture of the gallery.
Selected correspondence, manuscripts, photographs, and books reveal Duncan Phillips’s relationships with the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Freer Gallery of Art, and local private collections.
