Modern Vision

With extraordinary vision and generosity, Phillips trustee and art collector Linda Lichtenberg Kaplan has promised the Phillips her collection of 18 American sculptors’ drawings, works by modern masters such as Lee Bontecou, Jay DeFeo, Tony Smith, Whitfield Lovell, and Louise Nevelson. These drawings are a major contribution to the museum, including works by 12 artists not currently represented in the permanent collection, and showcase the museum’s commitment to building a carefully crafted, in-depth collection that reflects founder Duncan Phillips’s vision and distinctive eye.
