Sammlung: The Phillips Collection

The Phillips Collection is one of the world’s most distinguished collections of impressionist and modern American and European art. Stressing the continuity between art of the past and present, it offers a strikingly original and experimental approach to modern art by combining works of different nationalities and periods in displays that change frequently. The setting is similarly unconventional, featuring small rooms, a domestic scale, and a personal atmosphere.

In 1921, Duncan Phillips (1886–1966) opened his home to the public as the Phillips Memorial Art Gallery. His extraordinary collection included work by American impressionists and their French counterparts. A major coup was the 1923 purchase of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s sumptuous Luncheon of the Boating Party.
