Gifts of Art
The Phillips Collection owns over 5,000 works of art—more than double the size of our collection since the passing of our founder in 1966. We are continuously growing our collection of modern and contemporary art to further Duncan Phillips’s belief that “[p]ictures send us back to life and to other arts with the ability to see beauty all about us as we go on our accustomed ways. Such a quickening of perception is surely worth cultivating.” We look to private collectors to help us achieve this and are deeply grateful to all those who have made gifts of art to the Phillips.
