Book Prize
The Center offered a biennial book prize for an unpublished manuscript presenting new research in modern or contemporary art from 1780 to the present. Preference was given to applicants whose research focuses on subjects related to the Phillips’s areas of collecting, especially French and American Impressionism, American Modernism, African American art, and modern and contemporary photography. The winning book was published by the University of California Press, in collaboration with the University of Maryland and The Phillips Collection. The winning author also received a $5,000 cash prize.
