<click image for larger view>	Matted and Framed Reproduction of Renoir’s Luncheon of the Boating Party Duncan Phillips, who opened the Phillips Memorial Gallery to the public late in 1921, saw Luncheon of the Boating Party in a New York exhibition in early 1923. That summer, Duncan Phillips and his wife, the artist Marjorie Phillips purchased the painting in Paris. Duncan Phillips proudly wrote back to Washington from Paris that he had acquired "one of the greatest paintings in the world." It became the cornerstone of what Phillips called "a museum of modern art and its sources," The Phillips Collection. This 33 ½ in x 27 ½ in reproduction is double matted in cream and navy blue with shell fillet in an exquisite gold antiqued frame. $295 (Members $265.50); shipping included.
