Top 10 Title, Art/Architecture/Photography, Publishers Weekly
Spring 2021 Announcement Issue The Phillips Collection--America's
first museum of modern art--was founded in Washington, DC, in 1921
by Duncan Phillips as a memorial to his father, Duncan Clinch
Phillips, and his brother, James, who died in the 1918 Spanish flu
epidemic. Recognizing the healing power of art, Phillips sought to
inspire others to "see beautifully as true artists see." This
ground-breaking volume, planned in conjunction with the museum's
centennial, offers an unprecedented breadth of insights and
inclusive narratives on the Phillips's growing art collection from
a range of voices, including artists, curators, and critics, who
shed light on the museum's acquisitions since 2000. Seeing
Differently features diverse artistic expressions across
wide-ranging media by renowned artists from the 19th to the 21st
centuries, including John Akomfrah, Benny Andrews, Esther Bubley,
Edgar Degas, Anselm Kiefer, Simone Leigh, and Aime Mpane. This
richly illustrated book includes an opening essay by Phillips
director Dorothy Kosinski, artist conversations with John Edmonds,
Whitfield Lovell, Alyson Shotz, and the late David C. Driskell, and
11 thematic essays by scholars and practitioners across
disciplines. Its over 200 plates feature paintings, sculptures,
videos, quilts, prints, and photographs, many with object responses
by notable contributors, including artists Anthony Gormley, Sean
Scully, Renee Stout, and Jennifer Wen Ma, among others.
