A selection of the museum founder’s extensive journals illuminate his dreams for the museum, passion for art, and relationships with emerging and established artists.
Duncan Phillips was a prolific writer. Starting in his days as a student at Yale, Phillips wrote about art and literature, recounted trips abroad, and recorded his dreams for his museum. He generated lists of works desired and works acquired; once the museum opened, he detailed how the paintings spoke to each other when hung in the galleries.
