Sam Gilliam, Flour Mill
(Jan 29–Apr 24, 2011)
Sam Gilliam's new work responds directly to Arthur Dove's Flour Mill II (1938) which he first saw at the Phillips in the early 1960s.
During the fall of 1967 The Phillips Collection gave Sam Gilliam his first solo museum exhibition. Nearly 45 years later, Gilliam has created his first site-specific installation for the Phillips, to coincide with its 90th anniversary.
