Dr. Jones will provide context for the historic houses we will be touring this afternoon, US/ICOMOS headquarters, the Huerich House. The Huerich House was built in 1892-94 for German immigrant Brewer Christian Heurich, at one time Washington’s second largest landowner and its largest private employer.

The building is a stunning example of Georgian Revival residential architecture housing a collection, which includes works by Renoir and Rothko, Bonnard and O'Keeffe, van Gogh and Diebenkorn among many others. OPTIONAL STROLL: Benjamin Briggs gives a pre-dinner walking tour of historic Dupont Circle Bistrot Du Coin http://www.bistrotducoin.com Casual, local and fun with true bistro fare and flair, Bistrot Du Coin is a Dupont Circle institution—and a great place to end our first day in DC.

Washington, D.C.—This fall, The Phillips Collection examines the Neo-Impressionist movement through a new lens with its special exhibition, Neo-Impressionism and the Dream of Realities: Painting, Poetry, Music. Highlighting 15 artists and more than 70 works, the exhibition demonstrates that the Neo- Impressionists, a group generally identified by its pointillist technique and emphasis on the representation of reality, were in fact influenced by their literary Symbolist contemporaries and created evocative, suggestive compositions inspired by ideas and dialogue between the two groups. Neo-Impressionism will be on view at the Phillips from September 27, 2014, through January 11, 2015. The lush exhibition focuses on the Neo- Impressionist movement in Brussels and Paris around 1890. During this time, the exchange of ideas and interactions between painters, poets, and musicians were particularly fruitful and compelled the Neo-Impressionists to create works that accentuated evocative atmosphere. Their paintings and works on paper often transformed reality in a way that seemed to be a departure from the group’s beginnings in 1886; at that time, it was hailed as an alternative to Impressionism that offered a fresh opportunity to focus on light and Paul Signac, Place des Lices, St.

    FY 15 ANNUAL REPORT August 1, 2014- July 31, 2015 1 THE PHILLIPS COLLECTION FY15 Annual Report THE PHILLIPS [IS] A MULTIDIMENSIONAL INSTITUTION THAT CRAVES COLOR, CONNECTEDNESS, A PIONEERING SPIRIT, AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES 2 THE PHILLIPS COLLECTION FY15 Annual Report FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTOR This is an incredibly exciting time to be involved with The Phillips Collection. Duncan Phillips had a deep understanding of the “joy-giving, life-enhancing influence” of art, and this connection between art and well-being has always been a driving force. Over the past year, we have continued to push boundaries and forge new paths with that sentiment in mind, from our art acquisitions to our engaging educational programming. Our colorful new visual identity—launched in fall 2014—grew out of the idea of the Phillips as a multidimensional institution, a museum that craves color, connectedness, a pioneering spirit, and personal experiences. Our programming continues to deepen personal conversations with works of art. Art and Wellness: Creative Aging, our collaboration with Iona Senior Services has continued to help participants engage personal memories through conversations and the creating of art. Similarly, our award-winning Contemplation Audio Tour encourages visitors to harness the restorative power of art by deepening their relationship with the art on view. With Duncan Phillips’s philosophies leading the way, we have significantly expanded the collection. The promised gift of 18 American sculptors’ drawings from Trustee Linda Lichtenberg Kaplan, along with the gift of 46 major works by contemporary German and Danish artists from Michael Werner, add significantly to new possibilities that further Phillips’s vision of vital “creative conversations” in our intimate galleries.

  • Greenwich Historical Society Celebrates Centenary of 1913
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media contacts: Carolyn Mandelker/914-242-0010 [email protected] Laura Mogil/914-242-0010 [email protected] A FIRST! GREENWICH HISTORICAL SOCIETY CELEBRATES CENTENARY OF 1913 ARMORY SHOW WITH UNUSUAL EXHIBITION THAT FOCUSES ON SHOW’S INFLUENCE ON GREENWICH’S COS COB ART COLONY ARTISTS Exhibition Also Highlights Critical Role Cos Cob Artists Played in Producing the Armory Show Several Accomplished Yet Virtually Unknown Cos Cob Artists Spotlighted Greenwich, Conn., October 9, 2013—Lauded as one of the most influential events in the history of American art, The International Exhibition of Modern Art in 1913—popularly known as the Armory Show—was the first large exhibition of modern art in the United States, and one that introduced astonished Americans to European ‘avant-garde’ artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Paul Cézanne. Much has been written about the show, yet no exhibition to date has explored the direct effect that the Armory Show had on artists and their artistic production. But the Greenwich Historical Society is about to change that. Beginning October 9, the Greenwich Historical Society will present The New Spirit and the Cos Cob Art Colony: Before and After the Armory Show, which for the first time shows the direct impact of the Armory Show on the Cos Cob art colony artists. A perfect complement to larger exhibitions in the metropolitan New York area inspired by the centennial of the Armory Show, this small yet critical exhibition at the Greenwich Historical Society highlights the extensive involvement of Cos Cob artists, such as Elmer MacRae and Henry Fitch Taylor, in producing the Armory Show, and brings to public attention several of the accomplished Cos Cob artists whose work has been rarely exhibited until now.
